Failure to get your life in check will negatively impact your record and as well as your climb to the top.
You will have a home to live in and bills that need to be paid on time. Should you turn out to be a rather good worker and finish your tasks with time to spare, these hours can be used leisurely (who says the Wise Leader doesn’t want you to have a life?) In Beholder 2, you earn your keep. You have to clock in, get your 9-hours done, and clock out to earn a living. People skills are hard work, folks! These skills will not only help in conversations with colleagues but sometimes strangers with useful information.Īs much as you are burdened with your investigation, you are still first and foremost an employee in the Prime Ministry. This is a part of Beholder 2 I found interesting how you need to take it upon yourself to gain “skills” through engaging in reading and watching content that can open conversation with others of similar interests. As in any real job, you have colleagues and sometimes they can prove helpful, but this will take actual people skill. This is where your powers of investigation and interaction will save (or kill) you. In Beholder 2, everyone seems to have secrets and shadowy ulterior motives – not all will be in your favour, so trust wisely or do not trust at all. Trying to uncover a truth in a society under constant surveillance and zero tolerance for deviation, will prove harder than you think. These codes may not make sense in the beginning but try your best to collect them all as they play a major deciding role in the end you decide. These safes can only be opened by you and with each one, you will get what is called a Heimdall code. Thankfully, your father left you clues that can be found in Biometric safes located throughout the Prime Ministry building.
From then begins the collection of puzzle pieces.
BEHOLDER 2 HEIMDALL CODES TV
In a ceremonious TV appearance to the nation, the Wise Leader congratulates and “rewards” your newfound acquaintance in a way that quickly reminds you of the cruel world you live in. He breaks down the basics and hints at some suspicious activity surrounding the untimely passing of your father. The path you choose in Beholder 2 will be entirely up to you and as you gain rank and authority, what ends up of the lives in your hands also becomes determined by your will.įrom the start of Beholder 2, you meet a colleague who helps you get assigned and comfortable in your new job. In a world ruled with an iron fist wielded by the Wise Leader, the Prime Ministry enables you to see behind the facades while wearing your own mask. Amid your career, there is still the ominous mystery surrounding your father’s death which needs to be uncovered. You get to take on the role of Evan Redgrave – the recently deceased top official’s son – and as an intern, you can climb the ranks and perhaps follow in your father’s footsteps. It is here that an unexpected death from the 37 th floor and the arrival of a new intern in the Prime Ministry building, sets of a chain of events that can either be good or bad, depending on which side you are on. Set in the backdrop of a totalitarian society, the story of Beholder 2 begins in a world of perfectly tainted black, white, and grey hues. Filled with character and depth, there were moments that left me shocked, delighted, and surprised at the subtle parallels seen even in society today.
Before I began playing Beholder 2, I expected some controversial themes, but little did I know just how deep it would go and become a highly worthwhile and memorable title in my library.
