Beholder 2016

About

Beholder is a darkly comedic adventure-strategy hybrid that casts players as a surveillance-obsessed landlord managing a Soviet-style apartment building. Released across multiple platforms since 2016, the game tasks you with spying on tenants, uncovering their secrets, and navigating morally ambiguous decisions as you balance competing demands from authorities and residents. Recent coverage has explored the game's visual design and aesthetic philosophy, examining how its pixel art approach contributes to the experience's unique appeal and examining broader questions about artistic craft in gaming.
