Upgrade your expanding arsenal of tools by searching for hidden valuables scattered around the environments.

Personal opinion:
This is a very good game, the destruction and physics are really impressive and the game already has a great amount of content. I have a lot of fun in planning my heist, trying different roads and the sandbox mode is perfect to messes with the physics.
No multiplayer is sad but I understand the reason, I still hope that the technology evolves enough to allow it in the future. Before you buy, be sure to look the system requirements, the game is heavy with the use of RTX (but don't need an RTX card).

Is there support for modding and level editing?
The current Early Access version support importing static scenes from MagicaVoxel. We are planning to support modding with a custom level editor and scripting in the future.
Our documentation and best practices for making and importing your creations in the game can be found here
What game engine are you using?
The game uses a custom physics and graphics engine built for this game specifically. It uses raytracing for lighting, but does not require an RTX GPU.
Will this game support VR
No. The technology works in VR, but I don't think the game is a good fit. There might be other games based on the same technology that are better suited for VR, but Teardown will be a PC game.
Will there be Multiplayer support?
No. I also think it would be cool to play this together with friends, but synchronizing this amount of phsysics over the Internet is very hard and simply out of reach for a small team, if at all possible.
Will there be other mission types and game modes?
What I show in the video is just one mission type. There will be others as well, but most of them are based on the two phases of planning and action.
What will be the price? Will it be free?
Teardown will be in the USD $20 price tier.
