ODDWORLD SLAVE CIRCUS
The Slave Circus concept is described as a "gladiator" type game in which players purchase and battle slaves. Lanning claims to have worked on the "insane" concept for years, claiming it requires "a new level of social integration."

"It was a little ahead of its time," he told CVG. "It may still happen. But I never went out there promoting it as much as people think. Actually, Gabe Newell loved it but they're not a game publisher. He said, 'I heard the title, I was turned off. Now that you've explained it, I think it would be great, it would work.'"
