Virtue and a Sledgehammer proves there is something strange in your neighbourhood

Devolver Digital and developers Deconstructeam and Selkie Harbour have announced Virtue and a Sledgehammer, a narrative exploration game that will have players discover family, traditions, and reasons why being a misfit is ok. Check out the reveal trailer and dev intro below.

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.

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.

The game is coming to PC in 2026 and you can wishlist it on Steam now.
