Have you played (and enjoyed) This War of Mine, Papers, Please or Orwell? Then, you'll probably enjoy Beholder.

I created a giveaway for this game and I'll invite 20 members to my group to have a good chance to win it. Why only 20? Because I'll check manually each profile to meet these requirements:

  1. You need to have played +10 hours in any of those games (I'll check for hours and achievements). Tell me what game have you played in your reply, please.
  2. All wins activated.
  3. No multiple wins.

Write below to apply and good luck!

Note: If your favorite themed game is not in the poll you can write down your choice here. Thanks!

NO SPOTS LEFT

I already added more than 20, I'm exhausted

Sorry, I check for achievements and hours because achievements can be unlocked with a tool.

Yes please! I've played a lot of This War of Mine :) I never got round to beating Papers Please but I still enjoyed it in a way... Beholder is also on my wishlist too!

I haven't played any of the games in question, but yeah, Beholder reminded me of TWoM.
I like the idea! Anything to put games in the hands of people who will enjoy/play them, right?

Two full survival plathroughs of TWoM to see all the locations and check if I could manage to save them all; and some unsuccessful runs (non-optimal) in Papers, Please. Liked both games, tho I just was not fast enough for Papers, Please, took me too long to get the money in for my family D: TWoM on the other was thoroughly enjoyable as a game and as an experience.

So if you say I would like Beholder, then you must mean its theme of a dystopian setting? Something like that? Gameplay-wise they differ so much I can't imagine you'd

Fair enough. I also noticed my message was cut off in the middle of the sentence, weird. Either way, a nice gesture ;)

Played and even achieved all achievos in Papers Please, but it appears I've done it in 8 hours...
This War of Mine, I tried to play it for a bit, but in the end I surrendered after 5 hours , it just wasn't for me :(

Whoever wins it, I really hope he'll have fun!

When you win a game here, you have to redeem it in your account, it's a basic rule or you will be suspended.

Mhm, if you say I'd enjoy it then I'll give this a shot. Only have TWoM and I've played it for 12 hours (finished first story and played a bit of a custom one), though I'll most likely go back to it since someone gifted me the DLC a short while ago.

I played This War of Mine for exactly 10.1 hours. I always want to go back to it, as I really like the theme and message. Yet I just suck in bringing in sufficient resources. It's really a shame that I haven't finished a successful run yet.

I also sucked at Papers, Please. Again I loved the concept, but my reaction time was just horrible.

I'm very interested in Orwell and Beholder. 1984 shaped me profoundly when I was only 12. I'd like to drop a link to Hidden Agenda here, which I discovered the year it got made, in 1988. It has a simple "follow your choices" mechanic, but they don't do such political games anymore. :)

Papers, Please captured beautifully (paradoxically) the dystopian atmosphere of that era. I don't think you can call This War of Mine a part of such dystopian games. Of course it takes place in a war-ridden city, but it's not what you would call Orwellian dystopia.. is it?
Anyhow I am only missing Orwell from these games so this isn't a participation comment ;)

Played This War of Mine for 5 hours before getting stuck on a day where my people are starving. Meant to go back and reset (started tackling my backlog a couple of days ago, so I'll get around to it soon). Played Papers, Please for 4 hours and am currently playing it. Have Orwell wishlisted since October, all three are good games. If Beholder is similar to any of them, then it's definitely good ~

I've played 32 hours of Papers, Please and unlocked all achievements. Been meaning to try the other three games you've listed, too. I'm very pleased that videogames have gotten around to tackling dystopian themes, as they can present moral quandaries in a more personal manner than other media; you will walk all over people's inalienable rights if it means getting a higher score.

Hey, I have only played This War of Mine, but have 14 hours in it and I have Beholder on my wishlist. So if there is still a place under the 20 people you are searching, I would really like to join your group. =)

I have played both Papers Please and This War of Mine. I have finished both games, but Papers Please is a clear favourite. Such a good game.

I really enjoyed playing Papers, Please. It's an amazing game with something to say. A rarity these days. Unfortunately I still haven't finished it (I think I am about half way). Other things keep coming up and it's a game that requires all of your attention.

I would definitely recommend everyone try Papers, Please.

Not requesting a spot or anything, but I loved papers, please, 12 hours and all the achievements earned. The way it distilled the madness of a dystopian society into the simple act of checking documents at a border point was brilliant.
