Tear down the past in Virtue and a Sledgehammer, a smashing new narrative experience from the creators of The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood

Most people resort to therapy, but you chose the brave option: a sledgehammer.

The town where you grew up is haunted by the android ghosts of your digitised neighbours. Wield your sledgehammer like an instrument of reckoning, swinging through the swathes of mechanical human facsimiles and the buildings they call home.

But will violent catharsis salve your soul, or make the pain brighter?

Knock down buildings and crush machines with your hammer, awakening ghosts from the past in the ruins of a place you once called home. Cinematic sequences of interactive fiction will reveal your fears, desires, and your family’s knotty web of virtues and flaws.

Published by Devolver Digital, this narrative exploration game from Deconstructeam (Red Strings Club, Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood) and Selkie Harbour (Many Nights a Whisper) is about family, traditions, and being a misfit, and will be coming to PC in 2026.
