Beholder
SCORE: 56
Okay so Family Friendly Gaming was offered a digital downloadable
code for Beholder on Steam. I looked at the pictures and said I wanted
to review it. The PR contact kindly sent us a code for this PC video
game. Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. I
should have read about Beholder. I was shocked to find out the goal of
this game. We are supposed to spy on the tenants and report them to the
government.
Beholder makes me think of Russia in the Cold War, or Democrats in power
in America. Beholder even started out in some foreign language. I
stumbled around until I found the way to put Beholder into English. Then
I found out I got to play a nosy land lord. If you thought Tomodachi
Life was a creepy voyeuristic game then you will definitely be bothered
by Beholder on Steam. The dark graphics and illegally putting cameras in
apartments made me realize how controlling big government is.
I am not sure what the goal of Beholder is. We are given choices to
decide if we want to serve the people and freedom or the government.
Will you do what is asked of you? If you don't then you could wind up
like the last landlord. He is beaten up and taken away by the police.
Does the threat of your own freedom make you willing to fight for it?
Beholder even lets you avoid sleeping. The government injected you with
an experimental drug. Don't Do Drugs!
I liked the music in the intro portion of Beholder. After the game got
going I found the music to be creepy. I believe Beholder teaches us that
big government is bad. It also taught me socialism and communism are
evil. I had to break into people's apartments to investigate them, and
install cameras to try and find some dirt on them. Let the cops beat up
and haul of others to keep my own family safe.
The controls are a bit weird for me. We move the camera around by
pressing the directional keys on the keyboard. We then tap with the
mouse were we want our character to go. Tapping on the mouse also
initiates conversations and interactions with objects. The dark graphics
in Beholder are not to my personal preference. Too much like that
disgusting Limbo game for me.
