About This Game

Roblox is a massively multiplayer online platform marketed toward creators and players of all ages. It allows users to create their own virtual games using a variety of objects, which they and others can enter and socialize in. Games created on Roblox can be scripted using a sandboxed scripting language based on Lua 5.1 to affect events that occur in-game and create different scenarios.

Summary: IGDB

Story

Roblox is a user-generated content platform and game creation system with no overarching narrative; players create and share their own experiences rather than following a developer-authored story.
