Here is a trailer of Gods Will Be Watching. This point and click is centered on despair, commitment, and sacrifice as players face intriguing puzzles and tough decisions that will affect their entire crew’s well being.
I don't know, what is SO shocking on this one. OK...torturing. Hmmm...thinking about Fallout, where You can kill children, all GTA games where You can just kill anyone, mostly innocent, Soldiers of Fortune,..etc. So many games with ultra violence. Nothing shocking about this one. Yes...it's violent and gory, but also interesting with the decisions You have to make. And if it's gonna be on Fox News, who cares. Americans are always so offended by games content, but behind the corner, You can buy any weapon You want. As I said...funny.
It's not like the violence here is just nothing in the context of the game though. I mean it's not supposed to make people turn away & vomit in repulsion, yet it's clearly supposed to be gruesome, but in a way that's mostly hidden in the lo-fi style.

This is a game about making tough decisions with some puzzle elements, not torturing people. The graphics are pixel art and not remotely realistic in any way, with a handful of pixels for each character - so seeing one of these characters get their heads blown off is hardly going to shock or desensitize anyone. You need to realise that most people, even kids, are not as stupid as you and wont be affected by this game.
You sound like a social justice warrior. Maybe go to RPS or Kotaku with all the other idiots to debate non-issues and find problems when theres nothing there. I came to this site because i'm sick of people like you.
hahaha sorry for your plight dude, sounds like a hard life!
Hope you enjoy your time here, it's a cool place and you'll actually get to know people ;)
Anyway, I'd have less of an issue if this looked at all interesting or any deeper than my choice of whether to cut someone's hand off or bludgeoning them with a bat
I've enjoyed games like Hotline Miami which are extreme violence, but it was actually an interesting game with great music, visuals, and some pretty good gameplay
Also I don't care how pixelated a person gets, it's still representative of a human being. And given our culture currently a game like this isn't going to be doing the industry any favors

It just looks like torture porn to me so far
More desensitization for the masses
There's nothing redeeming about this at all from what I can tell
Though this trailer might give the wrong impression of the game I still don't see how you've come to deem it as "torture porn". That seems extreme to say the least. Visually it is so far from anything that is realistic that it just doesn't have any bearing on real world violence.
Just because you don't think it looks it's "an interesting game with great music & visuals" is no means to dismiss it as torture porn.

The gameplay looks better than this trailer, which is the point. They're in charge of showing off their game, and that trailer definitely showcased a torture porn.

I get the feeling you're being purposely stubborn here, but I'd suggest you take a look at some actual gameplay
Come on now, we can't look beneath the surface. That takes effort! I'd rather play "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream," but I don't know if I should read it first or play it first.

very few with religious beliefs are naive or zealots, but for sure don't find amusing their beliefs being thrown in for clout. maybe STFU with that discourse? (2 Weeks ago)

Pretty sure Loakum was making fun of religious naive people who thought that God and Trump have a good connection. And the most recent "Bruh..." means "Bruh, don't you get my sarcasm?" (3 Weeks ago)

Commented on 2014-07-03 05:11:44There's no way this game doesn't make it onto Fox News. And I don't think I can blame them this time. Dis is fucked up.

The prototype of the game is also available as flash version. You'll see that it's more about making tough decisions than just fucking people up
