News: A new sequel in the Beholder franchise is now available and has a nice launch discount during its first week.

Alawar Premium and Paintbucket Games have announced that Beholder 3 is officially launching today on Steam, Epic Games Store, and G.O.G. selling at $14.99 USD with a 20% discount during the first week of launch. Beholder 3 will be a throwback to the point-and-click gameplay of the original Beholder game.

The original Beholder game was released in November 2016, and was a quick success with the gaming community, winning a spot on Metacritic’s 100 Most Talked About Games of 2016. Beholder 2 launched in 2018 and fans continued to enjoy the thrills and chills inside Beholder's twisted Dystopian Universe. Together with Paintbucket Games, Alawar Premium intends to deliver the same award-winning experience to players.

"We played the Beholder games back when they came out and loved them for telling stories of human tragedies in an inhumane system in an entertaining and clever way. So naturally, when given the opportunity to develop Beholder 3, we felt extremely honored and excited." - Jörg Friedrich, CEO at Paintbucket Games

In Beholder 3, you are Frank Schwarz, a husband, and father who lost his cushy office job at the Ministry after someone set him up. The only way to avoid jail time was to make a deal with a high-ranking security officer. When the high-ranking security officer saves you from prison, you end up a pawn in her schemes. Now you must eliminate anyone standing in the way of her secret plans and try to get your life back while working two jobs. No tenant, employee, or superior is safe from your spying.

Some of the key features include:

Work two jobs: in an apartment block and in the Ministry.

Different political factions are fighting for power. Pick your side wisely.

Complete quests from the Ministry: promote the ideology of the totalitarian state, manipulate flags, and spread whatever propaganda you’re told to.

Install surveillance cameras and search apartments and offices.

Maintain your cover by doing everyday chores like paying bills, fixing up apartments, and keeping your tenants happy.
