## What is 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.

• 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.

• 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?

• Receive your judgment from the gods upon failure and compare your choices to all other players in the universe over time.

• Over 1,500 beautifully designed sprites tell your story against 15 stunning backgrounds and an emotionally stirring orchestral soundtrack.

*Each chapter of Gods Will Be Watching is available via in-app purchases for $.99 USD.

### 5/5 — Awesome point n click game with a great story and immersive soundtrack

*2025-03-21, version 1.0.2*

This is Deconstructeam first game and it holds up so well today and plays really well on the ipad.  Great soundtrack, fun pixel art style, and a story to immerse yourself in is what this studio does best.  Cheers to a great game and an even better development team.  Def check out the rest of their games on pc or console!

### 3/5 — Controls

*2024-02-11, version 1.0.2*

Wanted to revisit the game, but the controls seem to be bugged. First mission I walked to the door and I couldn’t walk back where the hostages were. Hope it gets resolved.

### 4/5 — Final chapter is missing

*2020-11-24, version 1.0.2*

It would be a great app, but it’s missing crucial final chapter. You really need to add it

### 5/5 — Moi ça bug pas

*2020-10-23, version 1.0.2*

Le jeu est trop bien et il bug pas en plus

### 5/5 — Irreverent fun

*2020-03-19, version 1.0.2*

How do you keep your hostages from starting a mutiny? This game is complex and deeply challenging but offers an opportunity to have some real dark fun.  You know you want to try it and it will not let you down.  It will test your patience and cleverness, however.  Try not to overreact with the bad guys break your arms, or maybe you’re the bad guy, I can’t keep it straight.

### 2/5 — Spiel an sich ist super aber..

*2020-01-20, version 1.0.2*

Es stürzt leider schon im ersten Level dauernd ab.. 
Auf meinem Ipad 2 heiss geliebt und da lief alles wunderbar.. auf neuem Ipad Air so unspielbar..
Bitte beheben..

### 2/5 — La cámara se buguea constantemente

*2020-01-06, version 1.0.2*

De momento he sido incapaz de pasar la primera fase, si me acerco al extremo derecho hay veces que se queda ahí y de ahí no sale, el personaje no se mueve por mucho que lo intentes y es imposible controlar a los rehenes. Me da rabia porque quiero jugarlo y se que es un juegazo.

### 1/5 — Controls don’t work 90 percent of the time

*2019-08-27, version 1.0.2*

Title says it all trash game

### 5/5 — Excellent game

*2019-02-05, version 1.0.2*

One of my favourite games of all time - I love a good challenge. Not a game for the faint of heart! The story is shocking, extremely compelling and the characters are memorable. I prefer the iPad version to the PC; playing with touch controls makes the game easier to manage.

### 1/5 — Crashes in chapter 5

*2018-05-20, version 1.0.2*

Whenever I send a scouter out to search and they don’t come back immediately I wait the extra hour and it crashes.
