At first, it’s black and white but other dreary colors gradually seep in. Visually this game is very similar to the previous game except that it’s now in 3D. I do like that there are multiple paths and options, but be sure to manually save when doing something new and risky. The autosave happened after my poor choice and was not very helpful. I made the mistake of using one save file and did something that got me killed. Though this game autosaves, I highly recommend using multiple save files. There is also a competition available on every floor to get promoted ahead of your coworkers. There’s an office phone on every floor that will tell you how many more reputation points are needed for your next promotion. With the information gathered, you can backstab or convince them to leave voluntarily. Ask them about your coworkers and their aspirations. Find out what shows they like and what their family situation is. Be sure to save time for getting work done to meet your quota and being able to pay your bills on time. Eavesdropping on conversions can provide some helpful insight as well. It pays to check bushes, carts, and file cabinets as they often have useful documents and other valuable items in them. You have a limited amount of time per day to complete various tasks. In order to hack into workstations, you’ll need to read books on hacking and that takes time. Alternatively, you can hack into their workstations to dig up some dirt on them. Another expense is paying to watch different television shows to open up starter conversions with your various co-workers. Illegal jobs are tempting if you want to be able to support your family. However, with a new bill to pay arriving almost every day, your money doesn’t go very far. If you do your job well you’ll earn some money and reputation points. Moral Warnings: Blood violence you can backstab your way to the top every cussword imaginable is used blaspheming unavoidable and optional adultery prostitution drug and alcohol consumption wild parties/orgies shown with a token censored box (you can still see what’s happening) Weak Points: Never enough time to do everything autosaves don’t help if you make a bad choice and it saves after the fact the desk job work can be confusing Strong Points: Multiple options, paths, and endings tough (often unethical) decisions to make For example, one of the floors has a giant shredder that grinds subordinates to a pulp. If you discover that they are doing something illegal, you can report them and earn favor with the leader while witnessing their public execution. As you get to know your coworkers, you’ll discover their dreams and weaknesses to use to your advantage. With reputation points, you can access conversation arcs that would not otherwise be available. By doing your deskwork or boss’ tasks, you’ll earn reputation points. Even with the blurred censor box, it’s pretty clear what is happening behind it. During the party, you’ll see people drunk, using drugs, and partaking in orgies. One of my bosses had me throw a party by securing the food, liquor, and prostitutes for the occasion. Some of the jobs given are illicit in nature. Climbing the corporate ladder will not be easy and you have to fight for your promotions either by backstabbing or by earning your boss' favor with menial tasks. Your goal is to rise to the top and to find out what got your father killed. In fact, you’ll get to witness the public executions of many of your co-workers. It’s highly unlikely that your father fell out of a 37 story window on accident, so who murdered him and why? He was a well-respected ministry worker, but the totalitarian government is very heavy handed and does not tolerate any mistakes. In Beholder 2 you play the role of Evan Redgrave, the son of a recently deceased worker for The Ministry. Thank you Alawar Premium for sending us this game to review!
