Great game that gives perspective to life under totalitarian regime. I haven't completed it yet - had one run and I lost. But I definitely plan to try again.

An Orwellian game that sets up an interesting universe. The game is really punishing though, but it wouldn't be as interesting if it weren't.

This is the game that made me create a Steam account. It was my first game on the platform, and the first DLC I ever bought was for it. This game suited me perfectly: it ran smoothly on my laptop, which was more like a calculator than a computer, and it embodied my passion for dystopias with totalitarian regimes. The story is a masterpiece. It immerses you in an oppressive atmosphere of constant surveillance. It offers a unique opportunity to dive into other people’s lives and shape their fates. Spying on tenants and making decisions about their future is your job, and this job is also shaping your own fate. Every choice you make draws you deeper into the system, forcing you to confront the consequences not only for others but for yourself as well. The game forces you to confront moral dilemmas: comply with the regime to protect your family or try to preserve your humanity at great personal risk. The narrative is so well-developed that every decision feels important, and the endings leave a deep emotional impact. The game’s style deserves special praise. The graphics are crafted with a unique, gloomy aesthetic that perfectly conveys the dystopian spirit. The music and sound design further enhance the atmosphere, immersing into a world filled with fear and despair. No matter how many games I play, I keep coming back to it, attracted by its atmosphere, storytelling, and moral depth. Beholder has become a timeless favorite, holding a special place in my heart.

fallout shelter in dystopia russia Really great short game. Lots of different paths to take so there's great replayability. I recommend playing on the easier difficulty on your first run though, because it's easy to stick yourself into difficult situations. Highly recommend.

You live in the best country in the World. And other countries are jealous of you. Each of our citizens receives all that he or she needs to lead a happy and care-free life. To counter the hostile attacks and defend our right to live as we wish, we will move forward along our own path and prove that the people and the party are one. Our Great Leader is the Mind, Honor, and Conscious of the State. May He live long and Prosper!
