Beholder: Conductor Out Now!
The Ministry is pleased to announce Beholder: Conductor is now officially available on Steam! You’ve been appointed the senior conductor of the Determination Bringer, the country’s legendary train — where every decision you make on board matters. What is Beholder: Conductor? It’s a spin-off of the Beholder series — a narrative-driven game where you monitor passengers, enforce the law (or bend it), complete secret missions, and uncover hidden agendas — all while riding a train that everyone’s watching. Spy, search, report... or don’t. Just remember: someone is always watching you too. The choices you make throughout the game shape the story — your loyalty, your silence, or your betrayal will all lead to multiple endings. Will you follow orders, or take matters into your own hands? Spotted a bug or something that doesn’t look right? Help us maintain order by filling out the bug report form. And if your journey leaves an impression, consider sharing your thoughts in a review — the Ministry listens closely to loyal passengers. For the next 10 days, the game will be available at a 10% discount: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2825530/Beholder_Conductor Your train is ready, comrade.
