A new trailer for Virtue and a Sledgehammer was featured at the PC Gaming Show, revealing more about Deconstructream and Selkie Harbour’s violently cathartic next game.

Returning to your hometown in rural Spain, you find everyone you ever knew digitised and replicated in machine form. This might drive some people to therapy, but you chose the brave option: a sledgehammer.

You’ll wield your hammer like an instrument of reckoning, swinging through the swathes of mechanical human facsimiles and the buildings they call home. But will this save your soul, or make the pain burn brighter?

Knock down buildings and crush machines, 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 (The Red Strings Club, The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood) and Selkie Harbour (Many Nights a Whisper) is about family, traditions, and being a misfit, and will be coming soon to PC.
