Great Game. kinda just throws you in to figure the controls out but still a good game here's some controls: arrow keys- move the camera space key- pauses the game tab key- hides spawn menu G key- slows down time F key- attaches items to characters hands Hope this helps! happy playing.

With Certain mods, the game is really fun, I have almost played this game for 3000 hours and let me tell you, the game is fun. Its not only about killing people, its about the role play in your mind that you never got to do! Overall, you may have to scour the workshop for the perfect mod, but its really fun once you find it. Additionally if you want some of my personal fav mods heres a list Quick Right Click Options Revolution Reborn (Napoleonic wars mod) Advanced Zombie Injectors Great war mod. This game may or may not have scarred me and given me night terrors.

As an old guy with ADHD and osteoporosis, my gaming days were mostly behind me. That is, until I discovered People’s Playground. This game brought back the kind of fun I hadn’t experienced since Mary passed—both chaotic and therapeutic in the most unexpected ways. The Setup: Imagine an 80-year-old man, hunched over his computer, with his reading glasses perched on the tip of his nose, trying to figure out how to launch People’s Playground. The game loaded, and I was greeted with a sandbox full of endless possibilities. Little did I know, this would be the start of a wild ride. First Steps: I began by dropping a few ragdoll characters into the scene. "Alright," I thought, "what’s next?" Within minutes, I was attaching rocket boosters to them, sending them flying across the screen. I giggled like a schoolboy, watching them crash into walls and each other. The joy of seeing digital chaos unfold was indescribable. Explosive Discoveries: Next, I discovered the various weapons and explosives. Being a former war vet, I thought I knew a thing or two about explosives. Boy, was I wrong. I accidentally created a chain reaction that blew up half the sandbox. My cat, Mr. Whiskers, nearly jumped out of his fur when the explosion sound echoed through the house. I chuckled, realizing this was the most excitement we both had in years. ADHD in Overdrive: My ADHD kicked in full throttle as I started experimenting with different scenarios. One minute, I was creating elaborate traps with spikes and flamethrowers. The next, I was building a complex machine that would launch a ragdoll into space. It was like being a kid in a candy store, except the candy was a mix of hilarious physics and endless destruction. The Osteoporosis Incident: At one point, I leaned in too close to the screen, completely engrossed in my latest contraption, and my chair tipped over. I landed on the floor with a thud, cursing my brittle bones. Mr. Whiskers looked at me with disdain, but I couldn’t stop laughing. It was as if the game had leapt out of the screen and into my life. Heartwarming Chaos: Despite the aches and the chaos, People’s Playground became my escape. I even started naming the ragdolls after old friends and imagined us on crazy adventures. There was something deeply satisfying about creating a ridiculous scenario and watching it play out in unexpected ways. It felt like a tribute to the unpredictability of life itself. Facts about People’s Playground: Sandbox Madness: The game is a physics-based sandbox where you can create and destroy to your heart’s content. Endless Creativity: From simple experiments to complex machines, the only limit is your imagination. Dark Humor: The game’s dark humor and ragdoll physics offer endless laughs. Community Mods: There are numerous mods available, adding even more ways to wreak havoc. Conclusion: People’s Playground is more than just a game; it’s a portal to pure, unadulterated fun. For an old guy with ADHD and osteoporosis, it was a trip down memory lane with a modern twist. If you’re looking for a way to inject some chaos and laughter into your life, give it a try. Just make sure your chair is sturdy and your cat is prepared for the unexpected!
