Deconstructeam and Devolver Digital have launched the much-anticipated point-and-click thriller Gods Will Be Watching for PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam, Humble, and GOG. That’s right, your carefree days of crushing candy and enslaving weird Japanese creatures to fight at your whim are over – it’s time to grow up and face some intergalactic moral dilemmas like an adult.
Gods Will Be Watching is now available in both a standard edition ($9.99) and a collector’s edition ($19.99) that includes the original soundtrack, a digital art book, and a digital comic that serves as the prologue to the haunting events of Gods Will Be Watching.
Gods Will Be Watching is a minimalistic “point and click thriller” centered on despair, commitment, and sacrifice as players face intriguing puzzles and tough decisions that will affect their entire crew’s wellbeing. Set against the backdrop of an interstellar struggle, Gods Will Be Watching follows Sgt. Burden and his crew in six tense chapters that examine a multitude of mature themes ranging from hostage situations and wilderness survival to biological weapon prevention and agonizing torture scenarios.
Players are faced with incredibly difficult ethical and moral choices as their mental fortitude and personal limits are tested in every scenario. Each decision is crucial and players will need to choose between the lives of their team and the saving the world from genocide.
“My usual video game strategy of shooting everyone I encounter in the face has proven to be impractical in Gods Will Be Watching,” noted Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker. “Shooting people in the knee works though. So that’s nice.”
Gods Will Be Watching is now available at all fine digital storefronts and probably on some backwoods torrents. But don’t do that. Geez, why would we even put that in a press release?
