Beholder

A dark story about taking care of your family by any means while living in an oppressive regime. I really appreciate when a game has you choosing between going against your morals to stay afloat or help your loved ones vs. being "good" at the risk of very real negative outcomes. Fun gameplay loop, very unique visual style, and a compelling story.

Beholder marks the first title, published to Steam still available, from Alawar. Now despite this not being their first official work this game still has a lot of minor kinks in face of what the game does right, with audio problems from the environment to the wonky voice overs. To fully get into the world it creates a simple, yet compelling narrative, centred around a man who takes over a hotel and moves in with his family. Already the tone is set with the previous care taker being dragged out for undisclosed reasons which clearly insunates a behind the scenes take over. Your family is put at risk but that is just one way to interpret the protagonist. At the core how the game really grips you is with the versatility in your ability to play out scenarios. You decide the moral compass of the character. However saying you decided is about as truthful in saying Winston willingly took over the hotel. There's a fast in game clock clicking down the days, this game refuses to pull its punches. Hitting you with one moral dilemma after the other. What is the right option for an abused victim between taking revenge on the attacker (killing them) or leaving them to die? How far will you go to get money for your children? When I lost my family, the one I was doing everything to protect, the only reasonable way to role play that was through that was by having Winston wait out the days only taking phone calls. This is a short game, easy to pick up, but is what allows every moment to carry so much more weight. So it's no wonder on my first playthrough it left such strong impact. Beholder is direct, to the point and most importantly in a age where games are 10-20+ hours long Beholder has the decency to respect you the players time, what a wonderfully well crafted game I do hope that manage to capture the same essence when I play the subsequent titles

Oynaması inanılmaz zevkli, farklı olayları farklı seçimlerle gerçekleştirebildiğiniz bir oyun. Zor modunda geçinip kızımızı yaşatmak aşırı zor ama acemide yapılabiliyor kolayca. Tüm kiracıların profilini çıkarmak, şantaj yapmak ve istenilen eşyaları marketten almayıp birinden istemek veya çalmak ekonominizi şahlandıracak küçük detaylardan. Çözene kadar geçinemiyorum diye bağırma isteği oluştursa da hallediliyor :D Tavsiyediir.

Подкинул яблоки все своей семье и их упоковали и отвезли на казнь, игра 10/10. Слава Арстоцке!!!

Почти всю серию игр прошла, кроме последней ,где гг в поезде находится. Что могу сказать, первая часть классная, одновременно простая, но и надо думать. Вторая часть с изюминкой душноты, но зато моментами связана с первой частью, что не ожидала увидеть. Третья часть это смесь первой и второй, где тебе нужно и следить за жильцами, и работать в министерстве. Только там нет мини-заданий, как было во второй. Слышала о ней, что часть так себе, тк делалась немцами (остальные 3 части делались российскими разработчиками). Ну и там был еще аргумент, что концовки странные и непонятные многим. В какой-то степени я с ними согласна. Геймплей мне понравился, но к концовкам остаются вопросы. Первую часть прям рекомендую брать, для общего развития так сказать пройти. А вторую и третью часть, ну, надо пройти ради Вождя. Вождь сказал сделать, значит надо сделать:)

Oh, Beholder where do I even start. In a single in-game day I have watched people shoot me, get sick for absolutely no given reason, and various other actions that were performed in a span of a day. Don't get me wrong, the game is good at first, until you cross the 3 hour mark. Once the novelty wears off, the game gets very repetitive. The game stops being a cool spy thriller, and it turns into a frantic loop of doing your tasks on time to beat a timer. Repetitive is an understatement. Buy this game at your own risk!

как сдать соседа, рекомендую
