Beholder

Carl Stein, a small cog in a huge and all-seeing state machine, got appointed to the post of a manager of an apartment building. Together with his family, he settles in an apartment given to them and takes up his duties: to settle the tenants, to collect residence fee from them, to repair breakdowns and to identify unreliable anti-state elements among these tenants.

That’s how this incredible story begins, and, depending on your actions, it can end at any time: you and your family can be killed, arrested, they can die because of lack of medicines or be destroyed for deliberate disobedience to the authorities. The world of Carl Stein is a permanent choice: to be honest or to be a traitor, to be an informer or a concealer, to support the revolution or fight it. Everything you do will affect the further story of the character and his family, and the end of this game depends only on you.

Upon an order of a government you will have to spy on tenants, to dig up dirt and write reports on them. You can take the initiative: to plant prohibited items on the tenants, to blackmail them or arrange secret searches. For each completed task you will be awarded by the state with money and reputation points, which you can use to purchase a new spy equipment. You will need money for more complicated tasks: depending on which course of conduct you have chosen for the character, you will need funds either for immigration, for bribes, or for maintaining the existing system.

A special feature of the game is a huge number of options for the development of events. Every action you’ve ever made influences the development of the plot, every decision of yours changes the world around you, every word can turn out to be fatal. Whom you will become at the end of the game depends on you, but remember that freedom of will in this world is punished in the most brutal way!

Beholder — the choice is yours...

  • In this gloomy totalitarian future all people’s lives belong to the State!
  • Your post is the manager of an apartment building!
  • Your job is to eavesdrop and peep!
  • Your duty is to report on unreliable citizens!
  • Will you stand the test of power?
  • And what if you have to choose between your debt and family?
  • Will you be able to report on a person who can save your loved ones?
  • All choices have consequences, so stay among those who could make the right choice!

This game is tough in the beginning when you're getting used to the mechanics, but once you figure it out, its a blast. I love the challenge of the game, and some of the story is genuinely dark and really well written. It's a kind of addictive game, to be honest lol.

Beholder is an interesting game, I have never played anything quite like it. The premise was unique and fun and the different objectives make it a unique experience each time you play.

Beholder is a masterfully crafted game that immerses players in a dystopian world where every decision matters. As a landlord, you must spy on tenants, navigate moral dilemmas, and maintain your family's safety. The game's unique art style and gripping storyline offer a thought-provoking experience that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

The game is alright... It gets pretty boring at times, especially when all of the tenants are home and there is nothing to do. I didn't feel very stressed playing and when each family member died I honestly did not care as there is barely any character backgrounds. I don't think it's a bad game but it isn't very exciting either.

Яблоки как оружие массового возмездия или почему так важно дружить с управдомом.

Beholder – это одна из тех игр, которая уже через несколько часов поломает все ваши ожидания и планы, создавая из раза в раз кризисные ситуации, к которым вы никогда не будете готовы. Где провал в одном второстепенном квесте способен напрямую аукнуться на финале и многочисленных концовках, а вы даже не поймете того, что вами было сделано не так. Не купили заранее предмет, не поставили камеру в нужную квартиру или решили тыкнуть в диалоге не на ту строку, то получите и распишитесь. Именно тут, наверное, и кроется основной элемент, способный как увлечь, так и заставить удалить игру преждевременно.

Вам попросту необходимо знать, что нужно делать, в какой последовательности и все это с учетом таймеров, своевременным заселением жильцов и их же выселением, через рапорты или квесты.

Во время первого прохождения все эти эмоционально-финансовые горки проезжать интересно, так как вам неизвестны подводные камни и их весело встречать на своем и без того сложном пути. Однако, Beholder всеми силами пытается заявить о репетативности геймплея, когда его можно пройти на целую кучу разных концовок, в двух режимах, комбинируя различные методы в каждом новом прохождении и вся эта огромная куча всевозможных вариаций попросту не работает. Рваться на части нужно только ради местного хеппи-энда, когда выживает вся семья. Для этого, опять же, нужен определенный алгоритм в первые 2-3 часа, без выполнения которого кто-нибудь точно умрет. Если у вас есть понимание местных процессов, то после преодоления этого периода игра не сможет предоставить вам каких-либо челленджей такого же уровня сложности. Здесь нет случайных событий или вариативности. Нет ничего за рамками лабиринта, где перед игроком заранее разложили сыр и мышеловки, и ему остается не только избежать последних, но и своевременно сожрать правильный кусок сыра.

Beholder – это такой мрачный день сурка, где вместо Билла Мюррея вам дадут поиграть за винтик тоталитарной машины, наблюдая за тем, как его из раза в раз заставляют биться с ветряными мельницами обстоятельств. Играть в это интересно, местами даже сложно. Истории почти всех персонажей написаны хорошо, как и возможность повлиять на них.

Отличная игра на одно, ну максимум на два прохождения, которая очень быстро сможет разочаровать всякого, кто задержится в ней подольше.

I really enjoyed the vibe of this game. From the start you feel the pressure of the state on your shoulders. Choosing between your family needs and the needs of state and your tenants has been though, on my first play through I'm sad to say I failed everybody involved. But that's what makes it so fun, every choice you do matters! Replaying it is as fun as it was the first time. I highly recommend this game to everybody, the story is interesting, the game play mechanics are simple but keep you engaged and it is not too long so it is perfect for people who do not have time to play long games.

Disturbing and creepy image of a disturbing and creepy reality. Despite that, it can actually be "fun" at times to play. There's even some humor. But mostly it's a look into the world in a way only a videogame can accomplish.

If you want to "finish" this game on the normal difficulty get ready for a few retries. Balancing everything is basically impossible and that's the intent. There is an easier mode though if you choose.

Do you like spying on your neighbors? Do you enjoy making notes about the personal lives of people you hardly know? Do you have a bad case of "sticky fingers?" Well go get some professional help then, or just play Beholder! The art is pretty nice, very reminiscent of Limbo. The core gameplay of spying on people has this odd almost voyeuristic fun about it, and it makes good use of the mechanics. Writing is pretty alright, dialogue is usually a fun read. Sound design is top notch, the atmosphere it creates helps sell the setting. Would recommend.

Beholder is a quest with a linear course of the main events, but their impact on the life of the main character can be completely different depending on how to react to them. You can do your direct duties — set up security cameras in apartments and spy on residents through the keyhole, search their personal belongings while no one is home, and then write reports and reports to the ministry.
