Gods Will Be Watching
Gods Will Be Watching is a minimalistic “point and click thriller” centered on despair, commitment, and sacrifice as players face narrative puzzles and moral dilemmas that will affect both the lives of your team and the people you’re are sworn to protect. Set against the backdrop of an interstellar struggle, Gods Will Be Watching follows Sgt. Burden and his crew in six tense chapters from hostage situations and wilderness survival to biological weapon prevention and agonizing torture scenarios. Each decision is crucial and players will need to choose between the lives of their team and the saving the world from genocide. There's no good or evil, just decisions, with only you and the gods as a judge to your actions.

Abstracted through pixels, text, and the lens of science fiction, God Will Be Watching is a fantasy that captures a very real, disturbing hint of apocalyptic reality.

At the end of the day, Gods Will Be Watching is a title I’m sure to remember for some time for its many intense moments, but in the back of my mind, I’ll always ponder what could have been if they’d fully realized their ambitions.

It’s hard work to be a hero, Gods Will Be Watching reminds, and invites you to try to answer whether, given the challenges, you might not become a cold-hearted villain instead. Pros: - Inventive resource management gameplay creates some tough puzzle-like challenges - Unrepentant difficulty makes for a lot of failure, but also creates new moral challenges on the fly - Scenes put players through a number of tough scenarios and most are different enough to be interesting throughout - Lots of solid story moments that legitimately challenge players to make tough choices - Intensity level is almost always high Cons: - Story can be a bit thin, which can lessen the impact and importance of individual character - Not everyone will like the punishing gameplay - You spend the whole game losing, and that will definitely frustrate some players Final Score: 85/100 Gods Will Be Watching was reviewed using a Steam code provided by Deconstructeam.

Gods Will Be Watching is a very clever idea well executed; one that opts to avoid the branching and overt morality of most similar games in favour of simply asking you to judge yourself as you see fit.
