Hello everyone!
We're so happy to finally unveil Virtue and a Sledgehammer, a narrative exploration game in which you go back to your hometown and tear it down with a hammer, because... well, you'll find out.

This is our most ambitious project to date, and sort of marks the full maturation of the joint venture we've been exploring together at Deconstructeam and Selkie Harbour. We've been collaborating since 2022, created many small games, and in April 2025, released Many Nights a Whisper, which was our first commercial project together!
Thank you so much to everyone who's played it so far. The feedback has been amazing!! <3
We hope you'll enjoy our next release too!
Virtue and a Sledgehammer is heavy in both the narrative and the hammer action. We pitched it as a "Walking simulator with a sledgehammer," but Devolver is adamant about actually selling the games they publish, so they suggested we didn't move forward with that description lol.
Anyway, there's exploration, environmental storytelling, combat, lots of destruction, but also a decent amount of reading and interactive fiction, which is our specialty!
And it's... weird and a bit messed up. Hope you can connect with what we're building here!
