Most people turn to therapy. But you chose the braver option. A sledgehammer.

In Virtue and a Sledgehammer, explore the remnants of your hometown, haunted by the android ghosts of your digitized neighbors. There will not always be an obvious path, so forge your own by smashing down whatever structures stand before you.

It will be a painful journey, not only because of the attacks from the robots that have overtaken life in the mountains, but because of the memories you will unearth – at times comforting, but often traumatic – as you destroy what remains of your childhood.

A game about family, tradition, and being an outsider.
 

Highlights

10 kg of physical media

• Wield your sledgehammer as an instrument of reckoning, striking down the gangs of mechanical simulacra of humans and the structures they call home. But will violent catharsis save your soul, or make the pain burn even more fiercely?

A narrative experience at its core

• You cannot tear down the place where you were born without awakening a few ghosts. The interactive fiction cinematic sequences will reveal your fears, desires, and the tangled web of your family's virtues and flaws.

I wish you could live life without pain

• Flesh is a source of pain and tainted fluids.
• Only now, free of bones, free of hunger, can I say...
• I have never been so happy.
