Fangtopia is a tile-based builder where you’ll construct an adorable world, with a spooky twist. Place forests, fields, mountains and more, earning points by slotting together matching tiles to discover a wide range of new goodies. Ace your aesthetics and expand your empire as far as you can, with no pressure and no clock – you've got all the time in the underworld!
There are plenty of surprises to uncover as you build your kingdom. Place and complete eerie landmarks for a huge boost to your tiles, construct a ghost train network that stretches across your kingdom, and discover monster portals to welcome new creatures to your lands. Who knows what awaits you as your empire grows…
Fangtopia is the second game from Guildford-based strategy studio Absolutely Games, developer of Classified: France ‘44. The studio was co-founded by industry veterans James Brooksby and Adrian Hawkins and - since its founding in 2019 - has built a passionate and talented team.
“The team at Absolutely Games have loved making Fangtopia thus far, and we're really happy that the demo had many of our players - including our friends and family - asking for more,” says James Brooksby, CEO of Absolutely Games. “Now with Secret Mode becoming our publisher, we can grant that wish and get cracking on making Fangtopia even more spooktacular!”
Fangtopia will be creepy-crawling its way onto PC in 2026. An extensive demo is available to play on Steam now, giving players the tools to build their first creepy kingdoms ahead of the launch of the full game.
