He’d been watching clips of People Playground for weeks. Compilation videos of ragdoll figures being launched from cannons, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and shattered by industrial presses.

For the uninitiated, People Playground is a 2D physics sandbox game. You are given a blank canvas, a variety of "test subjects" (the people), and an arsenal ranging from simple swords to nuclear warheads, electrical generators, rockets, and potions. There are no goals, no scores, and no judgment—just pure, unfiltered experimentation.
Type "People Playground" into the search bar in the top-right corner of the Steam Store.
