What is STANDBOX?

In this 3D physics sandbox, you use a handful of tools across three maps to throw and injure Stanley, a ragdoll that tries to balance and get back up. Injuries can involve broken bones, damaged organs, concussions, and blood loss.

For you if...

+you enjoy experimenting with ragdoll physics and simulated injuries
+you prefer unguided play over a story campaign

Not for you if...

−you want a story-led game instead of a sandbox
−you need many tools and maps to stay engaged
−you prefer to avoid graphic blood and violence

Players praise the ragdoll physics, balancing behavior, and blood effects. Their main complaints are that the small selection of tools and maps gets repetitive, updates are infrequent, and there is no workshop.
