The Construct is a single-player, top-down adventure that pairs retro-like gameplay mechanics with a mysterious storyline and a dramatic atmosphere. Its design balances classic presentation with modern features, while a changing variety of level layouts and cinematic elements shape the main story. That combination makes the game’s appeal about both navigating its action-adventure spaces and following the narrative.
After the first story completion, players can choose a hard mode that raises the difficulty and changes level design, giving a replay a distinct challenge. The game also includes unlockable bonus maps and collectible Steam achievements, trading cards, emoticons, badges, and profile backgrounds. Play is supported with either mouse and keyboard or a controller, with full controller support enabled through the main-menu options.
Its appeal instead rests on the mysterious story, varied stages, collectibles, and the option to revisit the campaign under tougher conditions.
