Garry's Mod
Garry's Mod is a physicist's sandbox. Unlike ordinary games, there are no predefined goals to reach here. We hand you the tools and leave the rest to you.
You spawn objects and weld them together to build your own contraptions – a car, a rocket, a catapult, or something that doesn't even have a name yet, it's entirely up to you.
Don't have any experience building contraptions? No problem! You can also just pose a huge variety of characters in ridiculous positions.
