About This Game

Your playground. Your experiments. Your chaos.

Chaos Workshop is a single-player physics sandbox where you set up experiments, unleash destruction, and watch the results unfold. Spawn ragdoll characters, vehicles, weapons, machines, and props, then grab, move, and combine them to create your own chaotic scenes.

Build an experiment and let physics take over

Drop heavy objects, crash vehicles, trigger explosives, or put machinery to work. Try hydraulic presses, conveyors, wrecking balls, giant fans, and spring launchers. Experiment across playgrounds with different spaces and hazards, including water and lava.

Set up your own battles

Arrange opposing teams in Battlefield mode and watch soldiers, snipers, tanks, robots, and howitzers fight. Change the lineup and see how the encounter plays out. Battlefield is an AI battle sandbox within the single-player game.

Test your aim

Adjust a howitzer's firing angle and shell speed to hit distant targets in the artillery challenge. In Ragdoll Cannon, launch a crash-test dummy toward scoring zones, manage limited attempts, and try to beat your best score.

Take control of the spectacle

Slow time to inspect impacts and tumbles, then use cinematic replay to revisit recent action from different camera angles. Wield lightning or gather loose objects into a swirling black hole and release them in an outward burst.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Generative AI was used to create promotional artwork for the Steam store capsules, library images, and game logo, and to assist with store-page text. These assets are prepared during development. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Chaos Workshop contains frequent player-controlled violence against human-like ragdoll characters, blood splashes and stains, injuries, and death. Characters can be shot, struck by vehicles or heavy objects, crushed by machinery, burned, electrocuted, drowned, or caught in explosions. Battlefield mode depicts armed combat between AI-controlled teams. Characters may scream or react to injuries.
