That game is either stupidly easy or stupidly hard. There's one tactic which wins you the game so long as you don't get a particular world event in your first few turns. Other than that I haven't found another way to win though.

So I just played Gods Will Be Watching for 3-4 hours.

Spoiler: My winning game
Beat it with the Psych+Engineer+Android, dog searching had been failling a bunch around day 20 and I was at 9 bullets and didn't want to go less than that since there'd be another predator attack later and the doc catches medusa and I haven't restocked my cure since everyones been either borderline starving or crazy for the past few days. Kill the doc so at least everyone won't be starving for a while, the soldier goes to -1 on the psych report from the robot so I kill him too, then barely keep psych and engineer from going insane.

With the food from soldier+doc I just talked to the last two and then repaired/dog searched/relit fire just about every turn until the radio was repaired and I ran out of food with 5 days left. The dog had already failed twice in a row, so I gave him one last chance and shot him when that failed, giving barely enough food to make it to the end of the final day.

Was admittedly pretty lucky that neither of the last two caught medusa in the last 15-20 days.

Made it down to 10 with everyone alive. Turns out, even if you have enough rations to feed everyone through a night, if at the end of the night your rations total 0 you incur a penalty anyway.

It's actually possible to win reasonably easily as long as you don't run into really bad luck early on.

Oh my god what is this, my best is 1m3, then I gave up.

I haven't been able to beat GWBW with everyone yet
The only way I have been able to do it is make the doctor prepare multiple medicine then kill both the psych and the doc.
I'm not sure you even can!

Finally beat it:

I think the key is actually to kill all but one member of the squad. Once you do that you get a lot of food and can settle into a rhythm of talk/repair until the end of the game. If you ever seem to be running low on food you can talk/hunt instead of talk/repair, since you can finish the radio in decent time. As for your survivor, I used the soldier just because his morale at the start is higher so all the other people go crazy (and get killed) before him. The only downside is that you have no doctor for meds, so if your survivor gets sick you're screwed. I solved this by having the doctor make a bunch of meds before I killed him.

I think I "won" once, where I earned access to everything. All the other games it's a question of how long can I last.
I will have

Here's mine: Gods will be watching
It's about surviving on an alien planet with five action a day. My best so far, I went to day 12: had my radio repaired, had food, medicine, and all my crew relatively sane - then I decided to shoot my android so I could get more ammo just in case, and everyone went batshit crazy, and ran away within 2 days.
First try, 27 days, even repaired the radio, and then I thought I could leave the Doctor, the Psychiatrist and the Engineer on 1 morale overnight so I would have all actions for group therapy. Turns out that was a bad idea--they immediately went mad, and the soldier followed suit next night.
