For the past decade, Deconstructeam has been crafting 2D pixel-art narrative experiences like Gods Will Be Watching, The Red Strings Club, and The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood. Now, we're thrilled to explore aat least for usnew frontier: 3D games. Over the past years, we've been quietly honing our skills, collaborating with talented indie studio Selkie Harbour, and experimenting with exciting new ideas. While our larger commercial projects are still under wraps, were eager to share a glimpse of something special with you: [previewyoutube=GlYOQUSpPzo;full][/previewyoutube]

Many Nights a Whisper

It's a short, meditative, third-person archery game about dreams, pressure, and expectations. You need to train to perfect an impossibly distant shot, which you will only have one chance at replicating during Ceremony Day. We put together this short gameplay clip so you can see how far the target is! [previewyoutube=w-Ec01CCXN8;full][/previewyoutube] If you want to know more and see some cool gifs, visit our Steam page, and if it piques your interest, please wishlist the game! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3541130/Many_Nights_a_Whisper/ This is a special milestone in our career, as it is our first self-published game, and it also paves the way to some higher quality games we never dreamt of doing... We can't wait to show you more of the other cool stuff we're working on! Please, let us know what you think since this is an essential moment of growth for us <3

The Red Strings Club is a cyberpunk narrative experience about fate and happiness featuring the extensive use of pottery, bartending and impersonating people on the phone to take down a corporate conspiracy. The professed altruistic corporation Supercontinent Ltd is on the verge of releasing Social Psyche Welfare: a system that will eliminate depression, anger and fear from society. However, the bartender of a clandestine club and a freelance hacker don't regard this evolution as an improvement but as brainwashing. Alongside unwitting company employees and a rogue empathy android, the duo will pull all the strings they can to bring down this scheme. https://youtu.be/x-5zrVfKvVc http://store.steampowered.com/app/589780/The_Red_Strings_Club/

After adding the extra chapter in the Gods Will Be Watching Free DLC, some users with old graphic cards experienced problems with Windows and DirectX loading the game: A long black screen and then the game shuts down. We've been working on an optimization patch to solve this and now, if you had this issue, updating the game should get rid of this ugly problem. We hope everything runs fine for everybody and, please, if you do keep finding other problems don't hesitate to contact us via our support form at www.godswillbewatching.com. Thank you for playing!
