What Beholder: Conductor is about
Beholder: Conductor is a spin-off of the Beholder series, keeping the same dystopian setting where a totalitarian government spies on its own citizens. Instead of running an apartment building, you board the Determination Bringer, an enormous state train treated as the pride of the country.
You play as Winston Smith, a newly appointed conductor. Your job starts in the cramped lower-class carriages and, as you complete tasks, moves forward toward the dining car and the VIP compartments where officials and industrialists ride. The whole thing is rendered in a stylized, muted pixel-art look, with small shadow-like passengers who still carry a surprising amount of character.
How the core loop works
Your daily work is watching everyone who steps into your carriage. You check tickets, decide what to do with fare-dodgers, search luggage for prohibited items, and file reports to the Ministry. When you catch someone carrying contraband, you can call a guard to remove them, which earns you coins and standing.
Two resources drive your progress. Money lets you buy goods on the train or from black-market dealers at station stops, while your standing with the state keeps you in the Ministry’s good graces. Searching bags is one of the most useful actions, but it is risky. Getting caught rummaging or stealing from a passenger costs you standing, and if it drops too low, the secret police step in and it is game over.
Beyond routine inspections, you take on secret missions from higher-ups. The level of secrecy scales with how loyal you are, and finishing them can bring a bonus or a promotion. Smugglers also appear along the route, offering to pay you to carry their packages, which is profitable but dangerous.
Every small decision feeds into the ending you reach. You can serve the regime faithfully and climb the ranks, or turn toward the rebels and defy your superiors. There are multiple endings, and a run generally takes around four to six hours, with full completion asking for several playthroughs.
Tip: Read the tutorial carefully. It is possible to trigger a game-over screen within the first few minutes by ignoring how the standing system works.
Where else you can play it

On PC the game supports full controller input, and it carries a Very Positive rating on Steam across thousands of reviews. Note that the console versions rely on an on-screen cursor for the many menus, reports, and inventory screens, which can feel less precise than a mouse. If you want the tightest handling of all the paperwork and luggage searches, the PC build is the smoothest, but the mobile version gives you the complete game for nothing.
