Misconstruct

Misconstruct is a 2-4 player physics co-op about building a house from a plan only one of you can see.

The Architect holds the clipboard and sees the whole building floating over the lot: walls, windows, doors, colors. Nobody else sees any of it. The plan leaves the clipboard by voice and spray paint only, and it loses something on the way. The crew builds what it heard.

Things you do in the game:

• Lay bricks. Or throw them in from across the site. Every brick is a physical object, and every crooked one stays in the wall.

• Plaster the walls, then paint them the colors the Architect swears were on the plan.

• Hand over a floor and watch the whole building creak and settle in the direction you got it wrong. Houses tilt. Towers go banana.

• Take a brick to the head, lie on the floor for a bit, get carried off by a coworker.

• Survive a windstorm. It's announced in advance. It still takes down your shakiest walls.

• Feed the crew's cash into the prize machine and get tools, flair, junk or drinks: moon gravity for the whole site, a body that stretches, a helium voice, enough strength to throw a coworker.

• Stand back when the clock runs out while the inspector walks the site, comments on every wall, finds the helmet you plastered into one of them, and stamps a verdict: LEANING TOWER, BANANA, COLOR BLIND.

• Throw a brick at the inspector. It doesn't help.

• Built-in positional voice chat: voices come from where people are standing

• A prize machine full of tools, flair, drinks and junk

• Customizable workers, proportions included

• Shot of the Day: one chaotic moment per shift, saved for you to share

The tutorial can be played alone. The game itself needs at least one other person to blame.
