"Side Decide is a great puzzle game. A simple concept of wooden blocks and matching shapes, but it’s not all child’s play. Trying to reach the goal is challenging, but with multiple levels to tackle in any order, it makes progress easier and not as frustrating as other games in the genre."

About Serra de Deus
Serra de Deus is an indie adventure simulator set in a gritty favela in Rio de Janeiro. Released November 14, 2025, it runs on PC and Linux. You play as a young man who runs a hot dog stand but gets dragged into a murder mystery tied to a secretive religious group. The game blends daily routine management with investigative role-playing. It’s a slow-burn story focused on environment, dialogue, and moral choices. The tone is tense and realistic, with a strong emphasis on community dynamics and personal survival. Ideal for players who want a narrative-driven experience with simulation elements.
Gameplay
Each session mixes mundane tasks with investigative work. You manage inventory for your hot dog stand, track finances, and serve customers during the day. At night, you explore the favela, gather clues about murders, and interact with NPCs who hint at the cult’s influence. Controls are mouse-driven, with a radial menu for dialogue and actions. The core loop involves balancing your business with uncovering secrets. Stealth sections appear when investigating dangerous areas. You collect evidence, decode cryptic symbols, and make risky decisions that alter outcomes. The game’s pace is deliberate, rewarding attention to environmental details and NPC behavior.

PlayPile's Take
Serra de Deus is worth playing if you value slow-burn storytelling and simulation mechanics. Priced at $29.99, it offers 250 achievements, with the hardest requiring 30 hours. The game’s strength is its engaging world and layered narrative, but its pacing might test patience. It’s not for action fans, this is a cerebral experience about choices, survival, and a crumbling community. If you can appreciate its deliberate design, it’s a standout indie title with strong replay value.
