Beholder 3

Beholder 3 is a story-driven game set in The Greatest Union, a totalitarian state governed through oppressive laws, surveillance and intimidation. You play as Frank Schwarz, a husband and father who loses his Ministry office job after being framed. To avoid jail, he makes a deal with a high-ranking security officer and becomes a government spy working undercover as a landlord.

Spy in the apartment block

You break into tenants’ apartments, search for contraband and remove people your boss wants eliminated. To maintain your cover, you also handle everyday duties such as paying bills, repairing apartments and keeping tenants happy. You can install surveillance cameras in apartments and offices.

Climb the Ministry ranks

You also spy on and scheme against your Ministry colleagues and superiors to work your way back up the ladder. Different political factions compete for control of the Ministry and the country, and you can play them against one another. Ministry quests include promoting the state’s ideology, manipulating flags and spreading the propaganda you are assigned.

Your choices shape whether you fight for change and truth or uphold the status quo, and who you are willing to sacrifice to get what you want.
