Developer Alawar has announced the release date for the next game in the Beholder series, and Beholder: Conductor is coming on April 23rd to PC via Steam.
The team says that “In this thrilling new spin-off in the Beholder series, players step into the role of a senior conductor on the legendary Determination Bringer train, tasked with monitoring passengers, enforcing strict regulations, and completing high-stakes Ministry assignments that could determine their future.”
Here’s the key features from the press release:
- Monitor Passengers: Check tickets, search baggage, and identify or confront rule-breakers.
- Climb the Ranks: Earn promotions to unlock VIP areas and classified missions.
- Make Risky Choices: Report crimes for rewards or engage in smuggling for profit.
- Dynamic Narrative: Your decisions shape the story, leading to multiple endings.
- Dystopian Atmosphere: Immerse yourself in a totalitarian world inspired by Orwell and Huxley.
In Beholder: Conductor, you are responsible for maintaining order on the train and ensuring the safety of its passengers, all while navigating complex moral decisions and building their career in a world of secrecy and surveillance. Your tools are simple but effective: reporting, intimidation, searches, and the occasional ejection. Keep a close eye on fare-evaders, suspicious behavior, and unauthorized items as you work to uphold the Ministry’s iron-clad rules. As you progress, the stakes grow higher, and you’ll move up the train to serve in the dining car, VIP compartments, and areas occupied by influential figures. Will you remain loyal to your mission, or will temptation guide you off course?
As your loyalty to the Ministry deepens, you will unlock access to secret missions that offer rewards and opportunities for promotion. But beware—the journey is filled with risks, including encounters with smugglers, bribery, and corruption. Every decision you make will have lasting consequences, shaping the course of your journey and your fate in the Ministry’s eyes. Will you remain a dedicated servant or become something else entirely? The choice is in your hands.
