About Endorphin Vice
Endorphin Vice delivers a sandbox shooter built around an advanced ragdoll physics engine. Every character’s weight distribution, impact angle, and projectile caliber affect how bodies collapse, bleed, and recover, creating unique combat moments each playthrough. The game also features a complex trauma medical system, realistic ballistics, and a procedurally generated environment that together demand careful tactical choices. Full controller support and a low‑mid‑poly art style keep performance high across a wide range of PCs.
01 / THE GUIDE
Advanced Ragdoll System
Endorphin Vice uses a ragdoll system where each character’s anatomy is weighted, so impacts cause varied reactions based on caliber, velocity, and angle. Critical head or neck hits can trigger brain aneurysms and ragdoll comas, while extreme stress may cause cardiac arrest and full collapse. The player character also ragdolls and can recover, ensuring that even the user experiences the same physics-driven outcomes as enemies.
- Aim for head or neck to induce ragdoll coma for a tactical pause.
- Observe enemy collapse patterns to anticipate their next movement.

Procedural Damage & Gore
Each shot generates a procedural mesh that deforms flesh in real time, with wounds reflecting hit location, caliber, and bullet speed. Blood dynamically stains surfaces, forming pools that spread and grow over time. Dismemberment follows the physics of the impact, and high‑caliber rounds can pierce multiple enemies. The Gore System 2.0 adds a dedicated chainsaw and an overhauled machete suite, fixing legacy clipping and increasing brutality.
- Use high‑caliber weapons to maximize multi‑target penetration.
- Watch blood spread to locate hidden enemies behind walls.
03 / THE GUIDE
Complex Trauma Medical System
Combat trauma is managed through an Agony System that adds visual shock and blur below 25% health. Cardiac arrest occurs when stress pushes BPM over 240, causing instant clinical death. Critical head impacts trigger brain aneurysm comas, which can be escaped only with a Mannitol auto‑injector. Tourniquets stop arterial bleeding instantly but raise BPM, while adrenaline syringes ignore pain at the cost of possible drug‑induced heart attacks.
- Apply a tourniquet quickly to stop bleeding, then monitor BPM.
- Carry a Mannitol injector to recover from coma states.

Tactical AI Behavior
Enemies react to gunshots, footsteps, and impacts, investigating last known positions, searching dynamically, flanking, and hunting. Police follow strict behavioral logic, while civilians flee to the safest spot. Shot NPCs may try to grab your barrel before collapsing. The AI’s rebuilt system ensures that aggressive actions provoke realistic retaliation, making street fights unpredictable and demanding strategic planning.
- Use noise to lure enemies into ambushes.
- Watch civilian movement to predict police reinforcement routes.

Procedural Sandbox Systems
Infinite Procedural CQB Mode creates millions of random room layouts with day/night cycles, eliminating memorization. A wave‑based horde system sends dynamic enemy waves that hunt the player. Vehicles, doors, and a physics helicopter all obey real lift, drag, torque, and crash behavior. Surface‑based sliding lets players slide on slopes while shooting, with friction and angle affecting speed, adding another layer of physics‑driven tactics.
- Practice sliding on slopes to maintain fire accuracy while moving.
- Explore random CQB layouts to find advantageous choke points.
