Your primary task is to covertly watch your tenants and eavesdrop on their conversations. You must BUG their apartments while they're away, SEARCH their belongings for whatever can threaten the authority of the State, and PROFILE them for your superiors. You must also REPORT anyone capable of violating the laws or plotting subversive activities against the State to the authorities. You are a cog in a totalitarian machine with your own family who also has needs. Do you cling to your humanity and cover up your tenants? Or do you survive by staying loyal to the regime? The choice is yours. You can report the suspicious activities of a father but orphan his children. Or you can withhold the details about his illegal activities and give him a chance to make things right? Or you can blackmail him to earn something your family.

How to Install & Configure Beholder (v1.7.58.12895)

Follow this step-by-step checklist to install and verify Beholder without common extraction or startup errors:

1. Download the Full Release: Use the verified direct download links below to grab the Beholder (v1.7.58.12895) archive.
2. Extract or Run Setup: Extract the archive to a dedicated games folder using 7-Zip or WinRAR (avoid installing inside restricted system folders like C:\Program Files).
3. Verify Dependencies: If prompted on first launch, install the bundled DirectX, Visual C++ Redistributables, and .NET runtime packages located in the _CommonRedist folder.
4. Launch as Administrator: Right-click the main game executable and choose Run as administrator so local save files and configuration profiles write cleanly.

Troubleshooting & Optimization Tips

• Archive Extraction Errors: Always use the latest 64-bit build of 7-Zip or WinRAR and ensure your destination drive has at least 2x the archive size in free space during unpacking.
• Missing DLL or Black Screen on Launch: Install both vc_redist.x64.exe and vc_redist.x86.exe, update your GPU drivers, and add the game folder to your Windows Defender exclusion list so real-time scanning does not quarantine game binaries.
• Controller & Steam Deck Compatibility: Beholder can be added as a Non-Steam Game using Proton GE on SteamOS/Linux, with Steam Input enabled for automatic gamepad mapping.
