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 was a pretty awesome simulation of a living in a dystopian society. While the premise seems simple, it becomes complex with the sheer amount of choice that it provides. Want a tenant to move out for a quest? Do you help them move out legitimately by helping them find their passport? Do you threaten or blackmail them? Do you catch illegal activities in their home? You can even plant illegal items into their home and have them arrested for it. It's pretty wild. The important thing seems to be doing whatever you need to do to keep your business running while keeping the tenants, your family, the government, and the rebels happy. Angering any one of these can lead to a bad situation and tough choices.

The pros; Great story. Fun, cartoon-like visuals hiding a dark premise. Excellent player choice. MANY different endings. Many ways to solve quest requirements.

The Cons; Very short (Main story can be completed within one afternoon). Very limited pools of tenants. The tenants are story driven, not randomized.

Overall, a fun experience that is well worth the price and well worth checking out. 4/5

I don't know what to say that hasn't been said. Almost everything about this is great. The branching storyline. The espionage on your tenants. The... everything. Just a spectacular game, 5 stars.

Great management game, amazing art style adding to Orwellian climate (yes I know, it's not a revolutionary observation but how could you miss that in Beholder review?), interesting gameplay, few ways to play it, many endings. You can replay this game over and over again. And it's not expensive either. I recommend it to everyone and especially fans of dystopias and Orwell's works.

Your decisions really matter and there are some very difficult decisions to be made. Replay value is huge as you'd want to play through multiple times!

Played papers please years ago and never found a game that scratched the itch until Beholder. Super fun. Super difficult. Lots of outcomes. Shocking. Great game.

Loving the style and atmosphere of the game. Bleak and dystopian. you start thinking it's a simple point and click game but you do need to complete a lot of difficult tasks with good strategy and time management. The only problem I have with this game is how long it takes to figure out what you are supposed to do...once you get the hang of it you're all good to play! I'd give it an 4/5.

Beholder is a weird mixed game, with management, questing, and a lot of missunderstanding wtf is going on. Not gonna lie, it feels and plays like a polished game. You feel like it's good, but then most of the time you will spend wondering what are the consequences of what you're doing. The game never explain anything. It just tells you the bare minimum of what you can do, but never explain the actual mechanics. I couldn't get attached to this game, I gave it a 2 hour straight playthrough but I just didn't understand a thing, maybe I missed something maybe not. Either way this game wasn't for me.

Are you the kind of person who stares out your window to inadvertently spy on your neighbors? Do you find yourself drawn to thin walls to listen to hushed conversations on the other side? Do you, too, hate Big Brother? Well then COME ON DOWN and become the worlds next NOSIEST LANDLORD. Honestly, this game is the most fun I've had in a long time, and billions of times better than it's second, Beholder 2.

I am able to recommend this game but i can't call it a masterpiece. I really like the black and white artstyle but not the black and white decisions. Yes the government is evil and that's all. There is no reason in supporting the government. The pros; dystopian artstyle, glorious thoughtpolice work, good written tenants. The cons; you get stressed a lot, somewhat repetitive, pointless decisions.

A very intruiging and challeging game with a beutiful and sad story. With wonderful art and genreal aesthetic that feels unique. It let's you constantly make important decisions - will you go with your heart or your head? Are you empathic or self-gaining? These important decisions can drastically change your characters life and the life of the npcs. It's quite difficult to get the result you want and save the people you want (or yourself) so I would recommend to have patience.
