off the game. Here's the announcement:
Deconstructeam and Devolver Digital
are super pumped to announce that upcoming indie thriller Gods Will Be Watching
will arrive on PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam, Humble, and GOG this June. Starting
as a standout entry in Ludum Dare 26 competition, Gods Will Be Watching,
developer Deconstructeam has greatly expanded the original story of a space
exploration team stranded on an unfamiliar world faced with ethical conundrums
and moral dilemmas.
The updated and expanded 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 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.
"Our team set out to make a new breed of point and click adventure and
capture the feeling of having to make heavy decisions with sometimes dark
consequences," said Jordi de Paco, founder of developer Deconstructeam. "We
understand that Gods Will Be Watching is a departure for the genre but think we
have an opportunity to break new ground in storytelling and the weight of
decisions."
