I purchased a new game, and not like new but it's been out for awhile, but new, new, like came out last Friday new. Beholder. This game is touted as a management game, but it has a dark and depressive 1984 feel. You work for the state, they call you comrade, its like cold war Russia!
Your job to find everything out about your tenants while managing an apartment building is engrossing, your family has needs, your tenants ask you for things, the ministry calls whenever they feel like, new directives will be released making basic things like apples and jeans illegal to purchase or possess. The game is a go, go, go of non stop tasks, but they are fun, like finding the doctor a date or selling dodgy illegal canned fish from a sailor who moved into your building before he ships back out to sea.
It's like playing a soap opera with the random occurrences that seem to pop up. I got it on sale for 14.99 and it came with a free Indy title Dear Esther for free. You can get that deal until 2/2/2018. At which point I'm assuming the game will go back to 29.99. I noticed there is DLC for the game listed as available through the menu but I did not attempt to purchase it as I would assume complete means all DLC, but I could be wrong in the pay to play world we now live in.
Getting entangled in these people's lives is the most fun even if it is just to discover they make drugs or have jeans and get them evicted and hauled off by the cops! I haven't had that much fun with a new game in awhile. Try it out, you might like it!
