This game was a nice mix of Beholder 1 and 2, more Beholder 1 in terms of gameplay, but there are a lot of Beholder 2 elements as well, when it comes to the story.

If you loved the first game's gameplay loop, the whole apartment management/spying/reporting, with side-quests and a bit of intrigue into the whole ministry affairs, then you'll most likely enjoy this one!
