Money is also needed – if you do not pay bills for an apartment and do not make timely voluntary-compulsory contributions to some fund to support patriotism, then the game will end ahead of time. And in order to grow and climb the literal and hierarchical ladder, you need to earn authority points. Authority Timeĭespite the fact that Evan had such an influential dad (however, the hero did not communicate with him for several years), he has to start his career in the Ministry from scratch, that is, from the first floor. Therefore, he needs to collect information about colleagues and bosses and report to the right place in time. At the same time, we learn that Evan, who had just entered the service of the Ministry, without suspecting it, became in fact a “spoiled Cossack” working for the internal security service. It is around the mystery of his father’s death that the main storyline of Beholder 2 is built. Another five minutes later, a senior employee of the Ministry was hanged, who led our hero around the building, showed him the workplace and hinted that he had important information about Evan’s father. The father of the protagonist Evan Redgrave, who was very influential and respected, was convinced of this in his own skin, but, despite this, he flew out of the window of the ministerial skyscraper in the first minute of the game. And for any oversight, you can pay very bitterly – regardless of all the regalia and titles (only if you are not the Wise Leader himself, of course). However, the work there, to put it mildly, is not the most fun and interesting – shifting papers and considering citizens’ appeals. Only this time the authors take it higher, and we no longer find ourselves in the role of the manager of one of the houses, but as an employee of the main Ministry of the country, a position in which is the dream of millions.
And again, we constantly decide: to inform, collect compromising evidence, blackmail or act according to our conscience, trying somewhere even to go against the system? The choice is ours. Again a gloomy totalitarian state ruled by a Wise Leader. It is no less natural that the developers from the Warm Lamp Games studio decided to develop the ideas of the original. The game turned out to be very successful, even a short film was shot on it with Evgeny Stychkin – naturally, the release of the sequel was only a matter of time. In almost every situation there was a choice, on which both the plot as a whole and the ending of this whole story depended.
#Beholder 2 review install#
Beholder, released two years ago, became a kind of domestic variation on the theme of Papers, Please – it was a simulator of a building manager living in a gloomy totalitarian state of the future, who, almost legally, should monitor the residents, install video cameras, blackmail, collect dirt and knock reporting violations.Īlthough it was possible, despite the threatening dangers, to try to act according to conscience, to help people, not to extradite them, even to sympathize with the revolutionaries.
