Evaluation
Beholder 3 launched on March 3, 2022 as a complete narrative game. In the months following launch, the developer shipped several patches addressing bugs and quality-of-life improvements, culminating in a major Update 1.1 on May 24, 2023, which added French and Turkish language support, Steam Deck optimization, and a wide range of gameplay fixes. That update represents the last significant content work done on Beholder 3 specifically.
Since May 2023, all developer activity has shifted to a new spin-off title, Beholder: Conductor. The developer announced and playtested Conductor throughout late 2024, revealed a release date in April 2025, and launched it on April 23, 2025. There are no unreleased DLC entries for Beholder 3, no announced roadmap for future updates, and no developer communications suggesting additional content is planned for this title. The game shipped as a self-contained narrative experience and has received no major content additions beyond the base game itself. With the studio now clearly focused on the Beholder: Conductor release, Beholder 3 appears to be content-complete.

About this game
Welcome to The Greatest Union!
A totalitarian state that controls everything and everyone through oppressive laws, total surveillance, and intimidation.
You are Frank Schwarz, a husband, and father who lost his cushy office job at the Ministry after someone set him up. The only way to avoid jail time was to make a deal with a high-ranking security officer.
Now a government spy working undercover as a landlord, you must break into tenants' apartments, search them for contraband and eliminate anyone your boss wants out of the picture.
At the same time, you’ll have to spy and scheme against co-workers and superiors in the Ministry to work your way back up the ladder. Different factions are secretly vying for power over the Ministry and the country – play them against each other to your advantage.
Can you get your old life back, or even something better?
Will you fight for change and truth or uphold the status quo?
Who are you willing to sacrifice to get what you want?
Features:
- Work two jobs: in an apartment block and in the Ministry.
- Different political factions are fighting for power. Pick your side wisely.
- Complete quests from the Ministry: promote the ideology of the totalitarian state, manipulate flags, and spread whatever propaganda you’re told to.
- Install surveillance cameras and search apartments and offices.
- Maintain your cover by doing everyday chores like paying bills, fixing up apartments, and keeping your tenants happy.
