Beholder Wiki

Wow, this game has been a heck of a ride! So many different pathways to take, some better than others. Some even deadly! It’s the perfect mix of dystopian and surreal. It’s got a great storyline and lots of cool features. The art is very cool, too! It might take a few goes to learn all of the different things you can do as the main character, Carl. You might kill him a few times, but you can always load your last checkpoint and try something less deadly next time. All in all, it’s a fantastic game! Well worth the money. The only issue I had is with the English grammar/pronunciation on a few of the words, but it’s not even worth docking a star because it’s so few and far between that it doesn’t impact the game at all.

Played it on pc, and was thinking it would be so nice to play it on touch screen, and there it is! I find it much more easier to play this way than clicking the mouse like crazy. Also, I think the simplified filing/blackmailing/reporting system is a BIG improvement. The time pauses when you are looking through things, which is nice too. The only suggestion I would make is the save/load system, I wish we could be able to control the timing somehow, e.g. it's a pain if i just forgot to pick up the box left by the tenant before repair but had to start from before taking the quest! Looking forward to more!

I love the game, it super fun and every choice you make has an outcome. My first game I got shot by a sailor:). It's very interactive and what you do make a difference. The only changes I would make is if you steal something then there is a siren for 10 seconds then the police come. Otherwise it's kind of ridiculous how much you arrested. Also the blissful sleep mode has an error. It says it costs .99 but when you buy it it charges you 1.99. I don't know if this is a mistake or if this is happening on purpose,but please fix the mistake. Thanks

I don't have a lot of free time on my hands, but when I do I try to play Beholder. It's a great game with quirky, dark humor. I won't go into detail but if you're the kind to invest in a game's characters and story, this could be for you. I only have minor criticisms. Firstly, I think if you tap on a person, Carl should automatically move to them and initiate conversation, rather than having to tap on a spot near the person, then tapping them to start conversation. It's kind of annoying when I want to speak to someone and Carl just stands there and doesn't walk over to them. It's just a fluidity thing. Secondly, we should be able to zoom the camera in further. At the closest zoom level it's still a little too far out. Besides that, i love Beholder. I hope there's a sequel of some sort where we can travel to other locations and have a relatively open world!

I rarely take the time to write reviews for these things. But this game is amazing at what it does. I tried to be moral first time. I died pretty early on. Some other things: a librarian shot me, I killed my wife by giving her money, I got in huge trouble for not killing someone, I got in trouble for not reporting someone and got fined for reporting them BY THE SAME AGENCY. You can’t win. I have never felt so tortured over decisions in a phone game. In my play through right now I’m pretty sure I’m screwed. I’m addicted.

There are too many great things to say about this game, so I’ll keep it short and sweet. I didn’t want this game to end! It’s so complex that I was able to play it multiple times and experience so many different storylines. It’s engaging in a way that I didn’t know my brain even wanted - and now all other games pale in comparison. I hope there are more like this to come!!

I love this game because it is so challenging and it has multiple outcomes. You really have to pay attention to what people in the game say and do. I am not afraid of starting from scratch to see different outcomes. Thank you for making this game because everyone who worked on this game did an awesome job.

Bought this game due to developers still updating and improving it 2 years after release, also bought because there are no annoying in app purchases or pay to win schemes. Thanks developers !!!

Please give the ability to delete saves manually. I love the game so much it’s worth every penny, but please add a little “X” or something to the right of the save files in the load menu so I can clear up the space it’s driving me crazy.

I saw this game thinking it would be some sort of dumb thing. But really when you get in the game it really feels like you are the main character. This is by far one of my favorite games.

I love the concept of the game. They are sooooo many things to explore and discover. Defiant worth the money! I can’t wait for the next DLC to come up and I promise not to look up solutions to achievements. 🙃 Keep it up developers.... I mean Ministry. 👍🏼

I love this game because it rewards the devious and duplicitous. Maybe I love it because it involves choices that are not so straightforward or without consequence. Whatever the reason, this game is really wonderful and worth every penny. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because some of the storylines do not have the same range of choice as others, and it makes some of the game feel locked in instead of decision determined. Personally I killed the general without the bomb almost every time and would really have liked the ability to use the bomb on the chemist. (Like a little reward for being clever and having a spare bomb on hand.)

As I find with many iPhone, iPad games, this was fun for a while but once I got through the story two-three times, I started just kind of getting sick of running through the same old same old predicaments. I wish it had a little bit more randomness to it. Or even a levels scheme, where if you survive through one section of the story you can keep running the apartment with randomized tenants or move on to a new apartment complex or something.

Do not get it. Can't avoid murder by govt thugs, even if I hit every goal. And I'm talking first round stuff here. I don't know if I feel dopier for not understanding or for spending so long trying to. Or (option 3!) for spending so much time staring at animated people just standing there. I'm desperate for a fun, story-based game to escape into. Help me make this one fun! What am I missing?
