Description
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.
  • Set morals aside as you navigate Sgt. Burden and his team through harrowing predicaments and make decisions that will either save your team or sacrifice their lives for the sake of the mission.
  • Solve a wide variety of narrative puzzles and moral dilemmas using your own wits and burden the consequences of your choices. Do you intimidate or comfort your hostages to maintain your tenuous control of the situation? Should you kill the weakest member of your party to save on food for the strong? What is one life worth in the face of annihilation?
  • An innovative departure from the traditional point and click adventure taking place in six intimate, tension-filled scenarios linked together through an epic narrative of interstellar espionage.

I can shoot you later, if you want.

So Deconstructeam made an adventure with Rouge lite elements. Random elements and quick death. Yeah, this will be unfair. Your support doesn't return, situations change by default. It's a visceral, stressful experience. There is a lot of micromanagement. But still, Gwbw presents a great, dark story. Like a dark version of Firefly. Sergent Burden will be confronted, tortured and crawl on his teeth to the next chapter. The dialog trees are presented like in "Alpha Protocol". It's not about the words, but about the expression. Being angry, thinking or straight up lying. Results may vary. Beyond that, there is the ,micromanagement about getting food for the team, your Ammo to hunt and defend, calming down the group and just surviving the current mess. You will die, you will be pissed off, leaving the game frustrated. I did it. "Screw this!", I yelled. But came back for more. The satisfaction to get to the next chapter was always such a relief. And replaying some sections, new path opened up. New details on the well written and compelling characters emerged. I'm not surprised, that Devolver Digital picked this game. It fits into their catalog among Hotline Miami and Always Sometimes Monsters. If you're a fan of DevDig, you already bought Gods will be watching anyway.

Rare gem that can be considered art

Yes it is repetitive and randomness is a major factor (although you can avoid that by choosing a different difficulty setting). But is also a game that makes you stop and think. Not because of hard puzzles but because you are faced with difficult moral dilemas. I don't remember any other game that managed to wake up these kind of feelings in me. This could only be achieved using an interactive medium; you are the one that ultimatelly seals the fate of the characters you are supposed to be taking care of. Shortly, this game is a rare gem that can be considered interactive art. You'll likely get frustrated playing it but the feeling is worth it.

Boring

Game looks great, sounds great, but is flawed by its absurd pace, irritating game design and repetitive game play.
