Oulu, Finland, 11 November 2026. 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 Thilo 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.
