Originally developed by the demo group [=tAAt=] and featured as the winning entry at the Assembly demoscene game development contest, ''Stair Dismount'' (originally named ''Porrasturvat'', more-or-less meaning 'Falling-on-your-face-on-some-stairs') stars a superhero by the name of Spector (also known as Mr. Dismount), who finds himself in a need to repay his city for the damages he's caused while fighting crime, and is forced to commit tax fraud by repeatedly injuring himself to show that he himself is just as battered as the city he was trying to protect.

Several versions of the game are now available, such as ''Truck Dismount'' which replaces the stairway with a moving truck, allowing the player to place their ragdoll anywhere they like in the general vicinity of the truck, and to add obstacles and ramps in the truck's way for maximum destruction. Ports for [[UsefulNotes/IOSGames iOS]] and {{UsefulNotes/Android|Games}} is now available as well, with many different ragdolls and levels.

''Stair Dismount'' is one of the most famous freeware games to come out of the Finnish demoscene, and has the honor of being one of the first computer games whose gameplay is built heavily around an interactive real-time physics engine, predating ''HalfLife 2'' by several years.

For being such an important game, it's surprising that its gameplay consists near-entirely of nudging a ragdoll down some stairs. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, really.]]
