Alawar has officially announced Beholder 4 with a teaser trailer, marking the dystopian surveillance series' 10th anniversary. The game is in development for PC via Steam, and you can wishlist it now.
This time you play as a young and promising Ministry official who is secretly working for the underground resistance. To your superiors, you are diligent, ambitious, and fiercely loyal to the State. Behind closed doors, you steal classified documents, sabotage operations, and gather intelligence for the resistance—while hiding something even from your comrades. You'll balance your Ministry career with increasingly dangerous covert assignments: plant wiretaps, crack safes, spy on colleagues, forge documents, and destroy incriminating evidence before police raids expose the truth. The game features a dual-loyalty system where the Ministry orders you to find a traitor while the underground asks you to help that same person escape, plus sudden apartment searches that give you seconds to hide or destroy evidence, and four romantic options split between State and resistance loyalties. There is no "do the right thing" button, and your decisions shape multiple endings.
