"Beholder" is the newest dystopia simulator game that is currently available on Steam for PC, MAC and Linux. The setting of the game is in a totalitarian state which shows the horror of living in under perpetual surveillance.
When you are living in a totalitarian state, you will never know who is working for and against the government. It could be a member of your family, your neighbor, or even your landlord. In the case of "Beholder", the landlord is the one who is working for the state.
According to Warm Lamp Games, the game is inspired by oppressive laws introduced by the Russian Government. It further explained that the surveillance-centric game is a dreadful manifestation of the life under the Gestapo or the KGB.
According to Rockpapershotgun, the player will play Carl, a landlord of a tenant house. At the same time, Carl will be an employee of the government to which the norms are being spied on, graft and government-sponsored brutality.
According to Gearnuke, the game allows the players to place cameras and wiretaps, eavesdrop and find places to determine anyone who might be surreptitiously working against the state.
"Beholder" allows the players to have the discretion whether to save or to report tenants who are scheming against the state. The player has the control to direct the moral compass points of the game.
Furthermore, you can decide on the morality you want to play. You can become a scumbag and steal anything from your tenants while they are not found in their places- or in their apartments in the game.
On the other hand, you can use your power to be the role model of the good when you protect and save your tenants against machinations and plots of despots. For more news and updates about "Beholder", keep reading Gamenguide.
