Sept. 2025

Just to start I really like this game and all its offers. It's theme and style is excellent and well done, it's music is distinct and engaging, but overall its game play loop and mechanism is superb. I would love to give it a full positive review however I am unable to finish the game due to the fact it keeps crashing at a certain section of the game. I have tried reaching out to the team through discord as a formal inquiry for customer support is not open. I have also tried fixing this problem on my own, but have been unable too. The general sentiment online is that the devs have moved on from the game and are focusing on their new project Beholder 4. If a dev does see this, feel free to reach out on steam so we can work together to fix the issue as acording to a couple sources online this is not a singularity issue. Thank you!

Past me would be very surprised to learn this, but I actually recommend this game. It's not as in-depth as its predecessors, and some of the endings may be obvious from the moment you complete certain tasks, but it's an overall fun game. The characters are unique and engaging (yes, even Sabine), and the plot is pretty good. I enjoyed it a lot.

Dec. 2024

literally everyone's mind is probably plagued by the same kind of doubts whenever they wonder whether they shall give this game a try. and what shall i say? you very much should. it combines both Beholder and Beholder 2 in a way. this is what i like the most gameplay-wise: you can't really get bored too much, you gotta pay attention to this and that, bills are incoming, you run between the Ministry and the house you're taking care of, you choose between your blasted tenants and the family - and, surprise, both tenants AND your family act like huge bastards occasionally! they might have their fair points, but like, wtf bro i am scraping bottom as i am and you blame me for NOT amassing enough wealth in time? kys fr fr this game is very branched story-wise, i will certainly have it explored to the fullest before i grow as old as the Great Leader of course, but nonetheless yeah, you could totally sink hours in this and have a Lotta fun. also, out of all three games and the first game's dlc, the dlc and this part kept me most anxious all the fucking time. seriously. i LOVED this despite the mainstream opinion. does it feel blatantly bland at times? yes. does it feel uncanny from the very start regarding certain things? quite. but i think that only betters the overall experience, to hell with it. this is a dystopia. it's been running for years. this game could've had a secondary title FUTILITY, as even the, quoting Lotta Altmann, "capitalist hell" ending which i found the best so far, feels somewhat shady; kinda makes me think back to Beholder 2's ending, so i deem it all a grand illusion. haha. i'd label this game postmodern, and i do not do that too often. so in the end i am very satisfied, be devs the same or not. this IS cool. period. 2024/10 literally 2024 (we're hopeless and bound to die /j (or is it a /j?)

Nov. 2024

A nice combination of Part 1+2. Good Story and a great 10hrs enjoyment. Just one wish: How about a DLC with some additions to get an endless mode after the story ends. But probably to much for the small player base I guess :(
