Epic Games Store Announces Free Games on November 28th

The Epic Games Store is offering a new free game, confirming that it will be released on November 28th.

Not long after viewer Once it was released for free on the Epic Games Store, players began reporting that the title simply wouldn't play. Most players have reported that after booting the game they reach the Unity screen and then crash or freeze in a black window. For their merits, viewer The developers rushed to issue a response to the issue and said their team was looking into it. A patch was released shortly after, but it doesn't seem to have resolved all of players' issues.

What's happening in Beholder now?

There seem to be two persistent problems. viewer At this time. Some players have reported that their free Epic Games Store games are still not working at all, but they appear to be in the minority. The biggest challenge right now is that the game seems to have bugs that don't exist in other versions. According to players, in one area of ​​the game, an NPC who needs to leave the apartment will either hang around the door or keep cycling through animations, coming back in and out. The player must have access to this apartment (without NPCs) to progress through the game, meaning those affected will be stagnant at this point.

when viewer They noted that players who still have issues after releasing the patch will need to restart the game. However, there has been no response yet to the new concerns regarding gameplay, and it is not clear from users whether players have been successful with the fix. However, considering the speed with which the first patch was released, we expect these new issues to be resolved soon.

It's unclear what went wrong with the game in the first place, if this bug already existed in this version of the game, or if it was caused by a fix the team implemented. For now, all players can do is sit back and wait. Luckily, this is a free-to-play game, so no one has to feel like they've been robbed of their cash. If you're lucky viewer It will be back up and running properly, and a whole new generation of players will be able to enjoy it for the first time. Meanwhile, Epic has other free games coming in November, so gamers might want to check them out while they wait.

A totalitarian state controls all aspects of private and public life.

The law is oppressive. Surveillance is comprehensive. Privacy is dead.
You are the government-appointed manager of an apartment building. Your daily routine includes making the building the best place for tenants to come and go. But that's just a facade that hides your true mission…

Your main task is to secretly spy on your tenants and eavesdrop on their conversations.

You can report the father's suspicious activity, but it could make your child an orphan. Or can you give him a chance to make things right without revealing the details of his misconduct? Or you could blackmail him to get money for your family.
