About People Playground

✦ AI summary

People Playground lets you creatively destroy, torture, and experiment on ragdolls using an absurdly detailed physics engine that simulates everything from temperature and electricity to organ damage. Build contraptions, modify bodies in grotesque ways, or download community creations to endlessly expand your sadistic playground of emergent chaos.

Shoot, stab, burn, poison, tear, vaporise, or crush ragdolls. This game is for people who enjoy throwing around ragdolls but want it to be more detailed, satisfying, and feel more free while doing so.

Ragdolls are simple on the outside but detailed on the inside. You can siphon their blood and replace it with nitroglycerine. You can submerge their head and cause brain damage by asphyxiation. Think of something horrible, and you can probably do it in People Playground. Afterwards, you could even hook them up to an ECG and blood supply to try to get them back on their feet.

Every object in the game has its own physical properties: weight, sharpness, thermal and electrical conductivity, ferromagnetism, heat capacity, bullet resistance, and so on. The game simulates temperature, heat transfer through objects and through the air, electricity, and rigid body dynamics. All these systems combined make for emergent gameplay. You may experience behaviour that was never explicitly implemented.

Mutilation aside, you are encouraged to build interesting contraptions or download them from the Steam Workshop. Construct airplanes, walkers, impenetrable bases, automatic doors, shields, computers, unholy weaponry - it's up to you!
Once you get bored of the limited amount of items, you may download one of many Workshop mods and addons to expand the toy box, or you could make your own.

Not recommended Oct 2, 2026
I really loved this game for the mods and the absolute fun you can have just fooling around. The workshop has been down many times. I literally bought this game just for the vast modding potential and people just find a way to hack it of course. I hate to say this but this may be the end of PPG modding.

10/10 would recommend if you love a sandbox game this game is one of the first sandbox game I have ever play in my life and I love it, even tho people kinda look at me weird when I mention I have 500 hour on "people play ground" note: my laptop specs is not good for this game, It play able mod able but you won't reach the full potential of this game
Recommended Oct 2, 2026
The game itself is actually very well made and fun. The issue, however, is that it's gotten multiple cases of malware being uploaded on the workshop. This isn't the developers fault and the situation was handled at the best of their abilities. One thing is that the devs team were power tripping like crazy on their discord server. They seem to only ever focus on how gay or trans they are, which all power to you. But some of us were really concerned about what had happened and instead of being constantly fed LGBTQ roleplays by these 17 and 18 year olds that got fat erections off of banning you rather than getting actual help/insight was frustrating. I'm still leaving a thumbs up because the game presents no issue and the actual developer themselves arent a scumbag.

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
