Most physics sandboxes treat the body on the table as a crash test dummy that feels nothing. FLESHBAG flips that idea: Industrial Technology and Witchcraft and Bonus Stage Publishing revealed a 3D physics sandbox today where the voxel test subject feels every hit, shows it on his face and begs players to stop, and playtest sign-ups are open now on Steam.

Build him a mixer. Or build him a bed, tuck him in, then light the fireplace. Playtest sign-ups open today on Steam.

In most physics sandboxes the body is a crash test dummy. It feels nothing. The man in FLESHBAG feels all of it, and he lets you know. Industrial Technology and Witchcraft revealed FLESHBAG today with its first trailer and its Steam page.

FLESHBAG is a 3D physics sandbox for PC where players build murder machines and test them on him. He feels it, and he tells you.

The test subject is made of voxels. Behind his sixpack he has a set of anatomically correct intestines. He also has organs, a brain, two eyes, and veins.

Each of them can be damaged on its own. His face shows the pain. His voice tells you about it. He begs you to stop. Mercy is not in the build menu.

“We gave him feelings because it is funnier when he minds,” says Theo from Industrial Technology and Witchcraft.

Build the trap, then build a better one: Players build their machines from blades, motors and firearms. A mixer and an explosive hot wire are already in the game for the impatient. When one man is not enough, players can stack a hundred of them into a campfire.

The cozy part: Nobody has to get hurt. Players can build him a little cabin with furniture and a proper bed. They can sing him a good night song. Then they can set the whole place on fire before they log out.

What publishers said at GDC: Publishers saw FLESHBAG for the first time at GDC 2026. These are their words. “With all due respect. Is this a torture game? … I love it!” “I see. A cozy game for psychopaths.” “You are on a speedrun for an FBI watchlist?!” “… a magnifying glass meets an ant hill …”

Bonus Stage Publishing usually publishes real-life hobby-based games like snowmobiles, disc golf, and fishing. It signed FLESHBAG anyway. “I have played a lot of physics sandboxes. FLESHBAG is the first one where I felt bad for the ragdoll,” says Asmo Saloranta, Partner at Bonus Stage Publishing.

What comes next: Players can sign up for the playtest today with the Request Access button on the Steam page. The playtest itself opens later. A demo is planned before Early Access. FLESHBAG is made for adults.

Humanity’s last hope is now a mission you can step inside. Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars is out now, a mixed-reality adventure that tells a previously untold chapter of Andy Weir’s bestselling sci-fi universe.

The immersive mixed reality experience launched on PICO, Android XR and Meta Quest 3/3S. It comes from Maze Theory, the award-winning London-based immersive entertainment studio behind Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom and Doctor Who: The Edge of Time.

Players step into the role of Ryland Grace. Ryland Grace and his friend and crewmate Rocky must work together in the face of disaster to keep the Hail Mary intact and bring their world-saving cargo to Eridani — Rocky’s home planet, and Grace’s new home.

It is a story of trust and communication between species. As this mixed-reality experience blends your physical environment with the Hail Mary itself, players diagnose problems, improvise solutions and push the limits of science and engineering to keep the mission alive.

Along the way, players work alongside Rocky to keep the mission alive, diagnose failing systems and improvise scientific solutions, and manage their ship and its precious cargo as they travel through the stars — experiencing humanity’s last hope firsthand.

Watch the launch trailer below.
