Why 0 achievements? Because I had to beat game on lower difficulty and it doesn't grant achievements this way.

I thought it's game about choices. But in fact it's time management game. Pure time management, where choices are not really important and focus on "Hmm I have 7 meals and have to repair radio. I won't be able to feed ppl and fix it so looks like I will kill x so I will have more food. Yay" / "I have 20 hours left to get to my objective. Looks like I won't sleep as it's better to walk 4h instead of 2h (as I will be tired), than waste 7h to sleep". And so on. So I'm really disappointed, as nor steam tags or steam description indicate that it's time management. Also people don't write in reviews that it's time management and say it's game about choices. You have to make choice while playing in The Walking Dead and deciding which character will live and which will die. Here you decide which is more profitable and move on.

On original difficulty RNG plays big role in gameplay. You can know rules and what to do, but you're gonna have bad luck and have to repeat the same sequence again, as you died. That's why I lowered it, I don't have patience to unpredictable RNG games xD.

Really good platformer. You play as yarn creature (Yarny) which collects stuff made from yarn. Game starts with short animation after which you land next to an empty book. I browsed through it and was like "whatever". But when you end level and bring back this yarn-stuff - Yarny puts it on book cover, which in return unlock photos which are stored inside it. So whole game feels like adventure to recover lost memories of the lady from starting animations. Which is really nice. Some memories are nice, some are painful, but nevertheless show her story. Game is divided into levels, which are accessed by walking in photos inside granny house, and whole levels are themed by starting photo. So you have sea, mountain trek, letter, rust and so on.

Actual gameplay focus on pursuing those yarn-stuffs which are located at the end of the level. When you're moving you leave "yarn path" behind you. Like if you wouldn't want to get lost in a forest, so you use yarn ball to be able to safely go back without problem. Fact that you leave it behind you leaves you will less and less of it, to the point when Yarny looks like skeleton and can't move forward. Which force you to look for "yarn pieces" which restore your yarn. It may sound weird, but it's nice and fresh game mechanic. Yarny can use it's yarn like lasso to access certain points, to attach itself to those points and swing like spiderman, or to climb up to a place you just fell from, as you leave this "yarn path" behind you. Yarny can also attach yarn to two points to create bridge or trampoline. Game also has various logical puzzles which you have to solve in order to progress.

Overall it's really nice game which I can recommend to everyone. I wanted to get all achievements in it, but I don't have patience to beat all levels in no death mode

Game is similar to Her Story, but it's more complex. In Her Story you search for new information via keywords in database. Here you search for them in newspapers, websites, phone calls, text messages. As you're investigating case of terrorist attack you will find information that are mutually exclusive. And it's up to you to decide which information will be considered as valid (like someone will tell to their friend that they like government but on their website write they hate it. Which info should be pushed forward as correct?). So it's basically like stalkerish information gathering. You start with someone name, to find their portfolio website, interest blog, connections between them and other characters (which can be used to bug someone phone) and so on. Ofc it's limited to game standards, you don't have access to thousands of different in-game websites, but they're various enough to not feel terribly limited.

Based on information you gathered certain people can get arrested or not. There are also few endings depending on what actions you will take at the end of the game. Whole game is somewhat story about invigilation and privacy, it's just that it's you that stands behind whole invigilation system. You don't fight it, just obey and gather info on someone else. Which can be funny, as you can add unimportant info in personal files. Like "heterosexual" or "like blue color". After which you get notification "Really? Do you really think that this information will be important in our investigations and should be pushed to detectives that work on the case?" xD

There are also bitter sweet moments. Like when you look for info on someone and find out they are in fact responsible for part of the attack. Spoiler ahead! But you also learn that their life is in ruins bc of government actions, that they are single parent which now work hard to give better future for their children. And their actions are direct result of their past traumatic experience. I was happy that I did find them, but along the way I was regretting this more and more to the point when I tried to provide false info to help them escape. But sadly it ended "permanently" and I really didn't like it. I felt it was my fault they got killed by police. Sure, they were responsible for the attack, but I didn't feel like they should be killed by police just because they were afraid about their children and went looking for them with a gun. And we know how police treat suspects with a gun.

There is demo available on Steam, so you can try it before buying it. But I do recommend this title.

This game feels like Papers, Please. Both games are set in totalitarian world, but in Beholder you have to gather data on people who live in house of which you're manager instead of just control who can cross border. It feels like worst type of communism country. You get directives from governments. Like "apples are forbidden", "blue ties are forbidden", "you can't talk about war", "no foreign meds", "you can't eat fish" and game expect that you will report stuff like this. Which result in police visit and arrest (Punishment camp? Death? You don't know this part). Ofc you don't have to do this, but it can lead to certain repercussions.

You gather data by talking with tenants, but it's not efficient. So you have to search through their belongings, install cameras in flats or use keyhole to see what's inside. Tenants vary and everyone has their own story and motives. I gladly wrote report on aggressive drug addict, but didn't do anything to doctor which did nothing wrong (except for having fish in his apartment. How scary!). After few in-game days you are put before few hard decisions. How to gather money to buy ridiculously expensive med to help your daughter, will you break law to get aboard medicine? You got order from government, will you report innocent people just because you get this kind of order, or will you try to help them escape? Will you help government or rebels? So it's quite complex, although everything is scripted and after few tries you know how to progress story in most optimal way.

And there are few endings (that involve fate of your family) depending on your actions.

I don't know how to summarize this game. It's weird. But that's why I enjoyed it so much. You start with title screen that looks like in old-arcade game machines. You try to start game, but nothing happens. After few times "New Game" change into "Error". And that's the best summary of this game - it doesn't behave the way you think it should. It's like game in game about breaking 4th wall. There are simple "coding" logical parts, jumping with pony over the hurdles parts, "what am I supposed to do now and why this game is so broken" parts. But I won't write more, as it could spoil the fun xD
