Human: Fall Flat

2016 · Platform

While Surgeon Simulator 2013 focuses on surgical absurdity, Human: Fall Flat embraces a similar brand of physics-based slapstick, challenging you to navigate treacherous environments with deliberately clumsy controls.

Why recommended

  • Core gameplay revolves around manipulating a floppy, physics-driven character, leading to hilariously unpredictable outcomes and a strong sense of comedic chaos similar to the surgical mishaps in Surgeon Simulator.
