Beholder Reviews

Amazing game! 🎮✨ Very engaging story and fun, simple mechanics. The options you have throughout the game, as well as the path the story will follow, depend on the choices you make. This makes it very interesting to discover more about each NPC's own story and what they can possibly offer that can change the outcome of the story you're building. 🕵️‍♂️📚 Because of the wide range of possibilities, the game has several endings, so the game remains fun to play even after you finish it and unlock one of the endings. Besides that, the game is very easy to learn and to play, making it a good game for both beginners and experts. In addition to that, the game has two levels of difficulty available to choose: normal and easy. In the easy mode, you will receive double resources (e.g. more money from actions such as blackmailing tenants) and key items will cost half the original price, making it easier to unlock the best endings. Even though the easy version is, of course, easier, it still allows for a fun experience with the aspects that the game intended to offer, such as putting you in the position of making hard decisions and seeing how your choices impact the story. I recommend this game for anyone who enjoys engaging stories with mystery and suspense, as well as interacting with fun problem solving. 🧩

Beholder is a gripping strategy/simulation game set in a totalitarian state where you play as a government-installed landlord spying on your tenants. It’s dark, intense, and full of moral dilemmas. You have to balance loyalty to the regime with your own conscience. Do you report a tenant for illegal activity or help them and risk your own safety? Every choice matters, and the consequences can be brutal. The art style is gloomy and perfectly matches the atmosphere, while the gameplay keeps you hooked with time-sensitive decisions and branching outcomes. If you enjoy morally complex games with a heavy narrative and a unique concept, Beholder is a must-play. Rating: 9/10

I really like this game. Love betraying my entire family all my tenants, friends even myself all for the glorious government

Very fun and atmospheric game where it feels like choices matter, but there's also room to have some fun and do silly stuff. Worth a playthrough or two with the mutliple endings.

Great game. Hard to put into words, but definitely worth experiencing.

the game didnt rlly tell what was i supposed to be beholded of but still i like this game because it gives this feeling of dead family hell yeah

All the beholder games are sooo fire but the OG is still the best, the vibe, the lore, it has just really nailed the dystopian vibe, 100% recommend!

Ah beholder, one of the absolute best and my most favourite game series ive ever played. Worth every penny.

I started off with Beholder 2 so this game was a bit different for me. While all the games in the series have the same "kind" of theory to them, they are implemented in VERY different ways. Spiritual successors is more like it. This one was not as fun to me as the 2nd one. Although in ALL the games I ran into a few situations that seemed nearly impossible to solve, & there is VERY little information online - even in the dedicated subreddit for it, to the point where, if you solve something, you SHOULD post your answers on how you did it, because it's likely there are more than 1 way to do a few tasks & it's helpful to those who wish to RP in different manners, & most people many only be able to google 1 way - IF ANY to pass. In this game you manage a hotel. You spy on your tenants. Your life depends on it. You live in a dystopian autocratic regime. Not too disimilar to today except your landlord is tapped into your ring door bell & gets paid to report the activity, & is allowed to use his master key to come into your house to search for contraband. (Something they don't need to do today since people willingly allow all kinds of devices into the house like SIri, Roomba, any voice activated ANYTHING, or property cameras & digital receipts which all tell on you these days unlike the past, & we are very much asleep in this world - while the residents of Beholder KNOW they are in trouble). We are in denial. I play the game to be the good guy. Help as many people as possible, while still helping my family. However, you don't have to do it that way. You can go after everyone, but beware... you're character DOES have a conscious... & if he loses too much of his home... he can go crazy & cost you the game. There is a line you cannot cross. So play wisely. If that style is not for you, try Beholder 2. There are no lines that I have found. You can literally do ANYTHING to anyone within the game's parameters that is. All in the name of your noble mission. Overall I give Beholder a 6/10. Beholder 2 a 6.5/10. I haven't played the 3rd one yet on the train, but I'm sure it's similar. These games really feel like you HAVE A JOB!!! So sometimes I get bored playing them because if you work in an office... you might not want to come home & play a game that simulates that behavior too!

the first time i played my daughter died of illness, my son was killed when robbing a bank and my wife died because i reported her. Before I beat the game I died 4 times from wasting money, was shot twice with a gun, stabbed once and died once from a dart. liked the game.
