It’s deceptively simple: you click to move your little landlord around, and interact with objects – you can search containers, open doors and install security cameras in smoke detectors. The gameplay is where Beholder earns its money. They’re certainly whimsical, and almost childlike – which adds to this odd sense of childish glee when playing. The graphics aren’t perfect, and I noticed a few issues with font interlacing, for example, but never anything that got in the way of gameplay. You do get to know the characters by sight pretty quickly, to be honest. All of the characters are black silhouettes, but they do have more than enough character to tell them apart, with each having completely different body shape and language, and a few details picked out in white. The graphical style is stark and striking, with the grim browns and greys of the building barely lightened by the perpetual rain that falls. Made by Russian developer Warm Lamp Games, Beholder is a bureaucracy-em-up, wherein you are appointed as landlord of a group of apartments in a single building, with the standing orders to spy on your tenants and report them for illegal activity as necessary. A blissful sleep is still cooler.Another indie game from the ‘pseudo-Eastern-block’ theme that was started by ‘Papers, Please’, Beholder shares a similarly dark aesthetic, and manages to keep some of the sense of humour that made the paperwork-simulator an indie darling. Every roommate at home prevents you from doing anything, you are driven by the treatment of your daughter, for which you still do not have enough money and very annoying notifications of new directives.The atmosphere is gorgeous, the endings are all amazing, but really it was impossible to switch between the tabs on the right on the keys?! Still, I recommend playing this game for people who are completely immersed in the atmosphere and who do not find it difficult to spend too much time. And to my surprise it doesn't tire! But this implies THE most IMPORTANT and SIGNIFICANT disadvantage: all these replays take a lot of time and effort. The game absorbs you again and again, forcing you to go through it to many endings. Beholder certainly has a huge replayability. However, it has several disadvantages that spoil it compared to the Supplement (Blissful sleep). I can say with confidence that this is an interesting and exciting game.

And all these prerequisites for the USSR make us grin, but also simultaneously flare up, as it was in reality. And despite the jokes, say in achievements, this is a harsh, but at the same time native game. As much as possible thought out endings, which I counted in the region of 11 pieces. This story of a 'little man' with the name Karl, directly penetrate my ministerial soul. The main characters are typical people offended by life on the state from Russian literature. The whole character of the gameplay is that we play for an official from the lowest layers of the ministry and the state apparatus. As for the game, you are the manager, your task is to keep track of the residents.

Warm lamp games maximally managed to show a totalitarian and anti-utopian state and convey events and life of creativity. This makes the characters with German and Czech names imbued with the plot. I like the scripting approach, because right after the good news, something sad is going on.
