About this game

Cold, gray, foreboding walls stretch to the sky. Massive oak doors conceal the most important secrets of the State. This is where fates are decided. Welcome to the Ministry!

You are now a part of the system. Although you are a simple intern, we are entrusting you with work of great importance. As part of the Ministry, we expect you to perform your duties with precision and care.

While you are at the bottom of the career ladder, even that is higher than many of your fellow citizens will ever climb! You will work hard for the public good and help thousands of people. Even better, your efforts won't go unnoticed. In fact, the Wise Leader himself will decorate you with honors!

Key features:

- Unique totalitarian bureaucratic simulator!
- Difficult moral choices. Your decisions affect the storyline
- Multiple endings! How many can you get?
- Unique art style, 3D characters in a 2.5D environment!
- Complicated stories and life situations every working day at the Ministry!
- A variety of fanciful characters!
- Time is your most valuable asset! Invest it wisely!
- Play absorbing mini-games, process citizens’ applications, and test landlords (figure out yourselves what this may mean)
- Lots of black humor to light the totalitarian darkness!
- No requirement to play the original Beholder game to understand the events of the sequel. However, those who did play the first game will notice more references and Easter eggs!

Are you destined to spend your life dusting off the applications of insignificant citizens? No! Pushing papers is not your cup of tea. Your goal is the Prime Minister's seat! You'll get there, too, and brush anyone who dares to stand in your way! Scheming and blackmailing are just the tip of the iceberg – and the ends justify the means!

You have questions. How did you end up here? Did you land this job on your own? No; that would have been impossible! So, who paved the way and – more importantly – why?

When you learn the answers, you'll understand your success – and your survival – depend on your silence. No one can know the truth! Otherwise, your career will end before it begins...

How are you going to accomplish what you must do? Are you even going to pursue that goal? After all, you are now an officer of the Ministry, with the power and freedom to shape your own future!

Beholder 2 is a dystopian 2D adventure that seamlessly incorporates elements of career simulations and surveillance games into a single gripping experience. As you work your way up the ladder, you'll scheme against fellow employees, spy on your boss and complete essential paperwork. You'll also make critical decisions about the path you take.

Will you turn against the State or expose the corruption at the heart of the Ministry? The choice is yours to make!

Ratings and reviews

Not how I thought it would be. Not as good as the first one. I liked that time is managed differently but it seemed the game didn't have different endings like the first one did. The first one you had to worry about your family this one you dont (his family isnt there) and not much changed when you made different choices during the game. Seemed like you had very little options. I tried to be neutral and it made you only be good or bad theres no middle. I found the last mini game was frustrating

Beholder 2 is a mediocre sequel to a unique piece, both in gameplay and narrative. It's so different that it shouldn't even be a sequel. The gameplay is the average point-and-click adventure, with some lackluster minigames that can be rather grindy. Most of the choices don't affect the ending. You can get all endings in one playthrough by reloading the last stage.

I really like the game...and I loved the first one. But this one has a really disturbing amount of bugs. I'm not sure how some of these made it into a release build. I'm a professional QA Tester and I've seen some hardcore bugs on major titles but these are rough. The latest blocker is after the second promotion, when going to the 25th floor for the first time, there is no dialogue and no user input is accepted. Everything just stops.
