Gods Will Be Watching is a clever exercise in “what would you do” that works hard to keep you guessing what the answer is. And it makes no apologies for kicking your ass to get you to feel what it wants you to feel.

In fact, the difficulty is something to be appreciated, because Deconstructeam clearly wants to use gameplay creatively to exert pressure on players in a certain, thoughtful way. It’s hard work to be a hero, Gods Will Be Watching reminds, and invites you to try to answer whether, given the challenges, you might not become a cold-hearted villain instead.

But with a great pay model — you give money to play chapters as they release to help fund further development, but each is eventually free — and no lack of dread-inducing darkness, The Last Door is worthy of the unflinching, lidless eye of horror and adventure fans. Be warned, though: you’ll be waiting a while for the answers Devitt seeks.
