Описание
Репрессивные законы и тотальная слежка пришли на смену свободе, равенству и братству.
Вы – управляющий многоквартирного дома. Но сдача квартир в аренду и забота о квартирантах – всего лишь ширма, скрывающая ваши истинные цели.
Ваша ЗАДАЧА – установка скрытых видеокамер, прослушка и слежка, тайные обыски квартир и сбор компромата. Ваша ЦЕЛЬ – пресечение незаконной деятельности и выявление ненадежных граждан. Ваша ОБЯЗАННОСТЬ – докладывать обо всех обнаруженных нарушениях!
Превратитесь ли в бездушное орудие в руках тоталитарной машины?
Или останетесь человеком, способным на сопереживание и сострадание?
Отправить донос на главу семейства и разрушить семью? Или позволить ему исправиться, закрыв глаза на противозаконную деятельность? Или решиться на шантаж – возможно, единственный способ приобрести дорогие лекарства для больной дочери? А если следят и за вами?
Вы познакомитесь с десятками жителей, узнаете об их проблемах и переживаниях, выясните все их тайны. И каждое принимаемое вами решение будет влиять на ход событий, приближая вас к одному из множества вариантов развязки.

i love this game series
it's a nice little game but the genre is not for me i need actual gameplay.
Awesome and funny little adventure game with Papers Please vibes. I got it for 3.5$ together with the DLC which is also awesome.
Absolutely love this game that I played and finished it twice - each time choosing different tenants. Can be intense and stressful at times, but that's the whole point of the game!
I love minding other people's business.
This is such a fun game! The story is gripping and you grow quite attached to the characters, despite the game's minimalist (but ultimately charming) art style. The gameplay is definitely interesting, and the game does a fantastic job of immersing you within its world. I'd give the game an 8/10, and would definitely recommend it to anybody looking for a cost-efficient indie game that was so very clearly made with love. :)
pretty okay
Liked it
This is the game that made me create a Steam account. It was my first game on the platform, and the first DLC I ever bought was for it. This game suited me perfectly: it ran smoothly on my laptop, which was more like a calculator than a computer, and it embodied my passion for dystopias with totalitarian regimes.
The story is a masterpiece. It immerses you in an oppressive atmosphere of constant surveillance. It offers a unique opportunity to dive into other people’s lives and shape their fates. Spying on tenants and making decisions about their future is your job, and this job is also shaping your own fate. Every choice you make draws you deeper into the system, forcing you to confront the consequences not only for others but for yourself as well. The game forces you to confront moral dilemmas: comply with the regime to protect your family or try to preserve your humanity at great personal risk. The narrative is so well-developed that every decision feels important, and the endings leave a deep emotional impact.
The game’s style deserves special praise. The graphics are crafted with a unique, gloomy aesthetic that perfectly conveys the dystopian spirit. The music and sound design further enhance the atmosphere, immersing into a world filled with fear and despair.
No matter how many games I play, I keep coming back to it, attracted by its atmosphere, storytelling, and moral depth. Beholder has become a timeless favorite, holding a special place in my heart.
Beholder is a point-and-click game where you play as the landlord of a boarding house in a totalitarian country. Your task is to infiltrate your tenants' apartments and profile them for the Ministry.
Every choice you make has consequences. If you make a mistake, you and your family will pay the price. If your tenants make a mistake, you can choose to denounce them — or risk being punished later for negligence.
If you have a (Slavic) Stockholm syndrome for totalitarian systems, this game is a great way to experience that atmosphere.
fallout shelter in dystopia russia
Really great short game. Lots of different paths to take so there's great replayability. I recommend playing on the easier difficulty on your first run though, because it's easy to stick yourself into difficult situations. Highly recommend.
This is a russian game. By buying it, you are supporting the dictatorship regime of Putin and the war against Ukraine because the taxes from this purchaise will go directly to the russian government. Unfortunately, I didn't know this when I myself bought the game, so I'm warning you to not make the same mistake. For the similar or even better experience, one could buy instead 'Papers, please' created by Lucas Pope or 'Orwell' developed by Osmotic Studios.
In Beholder you are a Landlord in a totalitarian State
and your task is to spy on and report your own tenants.
The question is what kind of person are you and how far are you willing to go?
Will you be a good citizen and report everything,
will you be guileful by blackmailing for your own advantage or
will you be sympathetic and protect your residents at your and your loved ones expense?
Maybe the best path is somewhere in between?
The gameplay cycle itself is, though challenging at times, quite simple and can get repetitive in the six hour playtime, but if you're allowing yourself to be invested in the characters and story then you will experience harsh dilemmas and very stressful times.
I played on the harder difficulty and decided that I wanted to keep my humanity, but I soon realized that the world is not a kind one...
VERY BIG SPOILERS for the whole experience.
My son was expelled from university and my daughter died of illness, because I simply didn't have the money. This changed me. Although I would never blackmail other people I started to report most without remorse. And when my son begged me that he wanted to leave the country I was just able to earn enough to send him away. But he wrote me that the other country was even worse than ours and just a day later my wife was killed in a violent protest. With nothing left to lose I supported the anti-state movement, and when I got the chance to flee, I took it and was caught...
In the end maybe I somehow managed to do what is best for the country, but at what cost?
Worth a recommendation (although a depressed one)

### Beholder Review
**Rating: 8/10**
**Pros:**
- **Dark Humor:** The game’s satirical take on a totalitarian regime is both grim and hilarious. It's like George Orwell wrote a sitcom.
- **Moral Dilemmas:** Ever wanted to feel like a terrible person? This game’s got you covered. Spy on your tenants, report them, or help them – the choice is yours, and none of them feel good.
- **Atmospheric:** The game’s art style and music perfectly capture the bleakness of living under constant surveillance. It’s like living in a dystopian painting.
**Cons:**
- **Repetitive Tasks:** If you enjoy doing the same thing over and over, this game is your jam. Otherwise, prepare for some serious déjà vu.
- **Stressful Decisions:** The game constantly forces you to make tough choices. It’s like being a parent, but with more espionage.
- **Limited Scope:** The entire game takes place in one apartment building. It’s like being stuck in a never-ending episode of a really dark reality show.
**Verdict:**
Beholder is like a darkly comedic rollercoaster through the world of surveillance and moral ambiguity. It's challenging, it's thought-provoking, and sometimes it makes you question your life choices. But in the end, it's all about the laughs and the grim satisfaction of navigating a dystopian nightmare. Just don't expect a smooth ride without some ethical quandaries.
Interesting, man
- Subpar English localization.
- Time passes way too fast, you can't accomplish much per day.
[*] Limited FOV makes it hard to have an overview of what's happening.
This game is just fucking depressing :D
I like the game and I very recommend it, although it is depressive and I do not feel like playing it anymore
Ignoring the points of privacy is dead, the game's story and gameplay is intoxicating. It's such a shame that the other games failed to meet the itch this game scratched, both are good in their own rights but the first is superb. If you're just starting then I highly suggest the easier difficulty, no shame cuz this game is punishing without insight. Additionally 100% this game was hard but fair, very little grinding or BS which is great.
