About Virtue and a Sledgehammer
Virtue and a Sledgehammer is about returning to the remains of your hometown, where android ghosts of your digitized neighbors haunt the ruins. You explore the place you grew up and use a sledgehammer to break through structures that block your way, while robots that have taken over life in the mountains attack you.
The past in the ruins
As you destroy the remnants of your childhood, you uncover memories that can be warm or traumatic. Cinematic interactive-fiction sequences reveal your fears and desires, along with the tangled virtues and flaws of your family. The story explores family, traditions and being a misfit.
Fight and destroy
You swing your sledgehammer at mechanical human facsimiles and the buildings they inhabit. There is not always a clear path, so you can make one by knocking down structures in your way. The journey asks whether violent catharsis can ease your pain or make it burn brighter.
