About People are Tools
Your friends are your only gear! In this chaotic co-op adventure, use your teammates as pickaxes, grapples, and tools to navigate procedurally generated caves and find fuel for your ship. Just remember: you’re not alone down here...
Become the ultimate tool
Forget carrying a backpack; you are the backpack. Before each expedition, reshape your body into essential gear. Transform your head into a pickaxe, your arms into a grappling hook, or your entire torso into a slingshot. In these caves, being a "tool" is finally a compliment.Put your friends to work (Literally)
While you can use your own attachments, true efficiency comes from collaboration or exploitation. Let your friends swing you at rocks, launch you across pits, or hold you up as a glorified flashlight. The caves don't care about your dignity, and neither should your teammates.The furnace is hungry
Your ship won't move without fuel. Scavenge resources in the procedurally generated depths and toss them into the furnace. Remember, a teammate (dead or alive) provides surprisingly good mileage.Survival of the Clumsiest
Navigate labyrinthine tunnels filled with physics-based hazards and creatures that lurk in the dark. Every jump is a risk, and every swing is a potential disaster.Forge & Evolve
Survive the caves to bring back rare materials. Use them to forge even more absurd body parts, unlocking new ways to traverse the caves and new ways for your team to... "utilize" you.What Steam players say

I've never seen such gameplay before, and it's awesome! The game really encourages you to interact with other players, and the way you do is really fun and interesting! Though the game was a bit hardcore for me, as a casual player. It's quite difficult to spot the monsters and escape them in time, and these monsters are quite strong and can kill you in seconds. Perhaps, it would be good to add an option to choose a difficulty level? Another difficulty was about the physics, it's rather hard to calculate the strength and trajectory to throw your teammates - and the game doesn't usually allow mistakes. Anyway, the idea is great and the gameplay is fun, so I really hope to see some development! Perhaps, different modes for both casual and hardcore players, to explore the world calmly or to peek into the most dangerous caves. And I'm looking forward to some story DLC as well! The world is quite intriguing, so it would be interesting to explore it with the tool available (yeah, your teammates)4 found this helpful

Hello, everyone. The long-awaited premiere has finally arrived—the start of a journey toward success and popularity from the game studio "The Amber Crew": the game "People are Tools." The game recreates the life of an unusual human civilization as it explores space. The storyline, character designs, and settings present us with a fantastical reality where everything operates by different rules. Players will face many challenges along the way. The game is designed for online play with 2 to 4 players. Teamwork makes the story particularly intense and engaging. I recommend this game to fans of space and adventure. See you in the vastness of the universe in the game "People are Tools." Good luck on your explorations.3 found this helpful
