Moral choices are a staple of contemporary games, often acting as their core gameplay element.

Spain’s Deconstructeam approached the issue differently, building gameplay around numbers and percentages. The amount of sweat we’ll pour trying to follow our conscience before pragmatism awakens is entirely up to us. The authors offer a warning, though: gods will be watching. But they will not tell us if it was worth it.
