* Beholder

     The most notable thing about "Beholder" is that somehow
     it hasn't been offered as a freebie on Epic yet, since it's
     been free pretty much everywhere else as some point. The
     game itself is more of a statement on Orwellian tyrannies
     than something that's fun by itself; it reminds me a lot
     of "Papers Please" in that it often feels more like
     unpleasant work than fun entertainment. And joking about
     how terrible it would be to live under oppressive
     governments seems a lot less whimsical than it used to be.
     It's a worthy bit of art, just not a very good game.
 
 
But it's free, and it makes The Number go up. So take it or don't;
you've got two weeks to decide, anyway.
 
More games next week.
 
 

That's odd, it's the first time I see that game.

There also was the brief glimpse of hope it had something to do with the
classic Eye of the Beholder series, but it seems not.

Ditto even though I couldn't get into that series.
