Overview
Description

Gods Will Be Watching is a minimalist point‑and‑click thriller that puts you in command of Sgt. Burden and his crew through six tense chapters of hostage rescues, wilderness survival, and bio‑weapon threats. Each decision you make carries weight, forcing you to balance the lives of your team against the fate of humanity. The game blends puzzle solving with moral dilemmas in a sci‑fi setting, offering a stark narrative experience where there are no clear heroes or villains—only the judgment of the gods and the consequences of your actions.

In Road Not Taken you step into the boots of a ranger navigating a harsh, post‑storm forest. Each procedurally generated level challenges you to rescue lost children and survive the elements while uncovering the fate of a nearby village. The game blends puzzle solving with narrative depth, letting your actions influence both your own journey and the lives of the villagers you befriend. With a focus on single‑player storytelling, each playthrough offers fresh routes and outcomes.
