About Gods Will Be Watching
✦ AI summary

Burden and his crew in six tense chapters from hostage situations and wilderness survival to biological weapon prevention and agonizing torture scenarios.

I shot all my people in chapter 4 and ate them.2 found this helpful
I don't really get this game. It's a resource/time management game disguised as a "puzzle" game, but the puzzle is that you need to know the solution/patterns ahead of time to survive.2 found this helpful
Even with the cheesy narrative, uninspired aesthetic and primitive mechanics, the complexity of problem-solving in-game makes the experience very engaging. I just recommend that you choose "Puzzle Mode" when starting a save, since the luck factor in some contexts and actions can be frustrating, as makes success impossible. Ps: game won't consider who lived or died on completed levels for script matters.2 found this helpful
This is a more resource management puzzle/strategy game than anything else. It has a great narrative especially with the DLC. The game is difficult and challenges you to discover each chapter's mechanics to optimise resources. Even so it's pretty well balanced, challenging but fun. The steam reviews definitely don't do the game justice. I feel like the game hasn't been properly marketed and hasn't reached the proper target audience of strategy resource management lovers. If strategy, min max optimising, and resource management don't interest you, you'll likely find the game too hard or boring (and complain about rng lol). Though it does have different difficulty levels, and the narrative alone is worth the experience. The only issues are the lack of a save option mid game, and speed at which some actions/animations take place. This means each chapter much be finished within a single session, and some actions end up being a tedious1 found this helpful
