One game we are currently keeping an eye out for getting released is Devolver Digital’s and Deconstructeam’s The Gods Will Be Watching game, set to be released onto mobile in the very near future. For those of you who missed our previous coverage of this game, this is a great retro-style adventure game that is themed around making good moral decisions. Almost like how The Walking Dead is in a lot of ways since your choices decide the progress you make through the game.
Deconstructeam is a game studio based in Valencia, Spain. Their project Gods Will Be Watching will be released for Android gamers soon. The art style is definitely retro, but the story line could be a page ripped from a not too distant future. The game is about the choices you make and how they impact the outcome of the game. It was created in just 72 hours during the Ludum Dare 26 game jam with ‘Minimalism’ as a theme. The implications of your in game choices will probably stick with you long after the ending credits.
