A physics sandbox about Murray, who didn't let a witch merge onto the highway. She sent him to The Granule, and something already lives there. You. Burn, freeze, shock, slice, and mend him. None of it is scripted, and the room is not all there is.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“A physics sandbox game is only as good as what the community does with it. As I expand the game, I want to watch as players interact with Murray (and friends) and steer Granule towards its full potential.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Most probably around year, but it depends on how things go. Updates to come.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“More of everything. More weapons, powers, occupants, rooms, physics details, customization, mods, lore, and so much more.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A fully playable ragdoll sandbox with Murray, lots of items to play around with, some occupants and secrets to discover. There is a lot planned that may not be in the first version, but will come in frequent updates such as:
- Modding support
- Custom rooms
- Deeper physics simuations
- and MUCH more coming

There will also be bugs and other changes throughout the many updates.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price is planned to increase when it leaves Early Access. It will be a free update for those who already bought Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Pretty much everything comes through the Discord. A lot of what's in the game started as someone's idea or bug report there, and I read all of it.”

About This Game

Granule is a physics sandbox built around a ragdoll who won't stay dead. Break, bleed, burn, and dismember him with a growing set of tools, powers, and more.

It all starts with Murray, a man who, on a particularly bad day, did not let a certain driver merge onto the highway. That driver was a witch. In her rage, she sent Murray to The Granule: a dimension beyond death, but not beyond torment. Unknown to the witch and Murray, something already lives there. You.

Everything in the room is simulated, and the fun is in what happens when the systems meet. Water fills the room and drains out. Fire spreads along anything that burns. Ice forms in the cold and melts near the heat. Lightning runs through water and through whoever is standing in it. Portals pass anything through, limbs included. It all runs at once, so things happen that were never built on purpose.

Some of what you can do to him is simple: a blade, a bat, a gun. The rest goes further. You can flood the room, turn off gravity, open holes in the walls, split him into smaller copies of himself, or reach into his head. There is far more than any list here could cover, and it keeps growing.

Murray has a working body under the skin. He bleeds, chokes, burns, freezes, and blacks out, and the diagram shows all of it as it happens. There is no game over. There's just whatever state you left him in.

The room is where you keep him. It is not all there is. The Granule is more vast than he could ever imagine, and you are not its only occupant. Some of the others have already taken notice.

Granule is in Early Access, with lots more items, mod support, building, saving rooms, and more creatures and places still to come.

Mature Content Description
