Version History

Welcome, aspiring Conductors! This section details the evolution of Beholder: Conductor, outlining significant updates, bug fixes, and new content additions. Understanding the version history can help you troubleshoot issues, anticipate changes, and appreciate the ongoing development of our beloved surveillance simulator.

Version 1.2.1 - "The Bureaucratic Bloom" (Updated: 03/15/2024)

This minor patch focuses on stability and quality-of-life improvements, addressing several lingering issues reported by the community.

  • Bug Fixes:
    • Resolved an infrequent crash occurring when attempting to install the "Advanced Listening Device" in Apartment 3B while the tenant, Comrade Petrov, was asleep.
    • Fixed an issue where the "Illegal Propaganda" quest item, the 'Subversive Pamphlet,' would sometimes fail to despawn from the trash chute after successful incineration, leading to repeated quest triggers.
    • Corrected a visual glitch where the "Ministry of Love" poster in the main hallway would occasionally display inverted text.
    • Addressed a pathfinding error that could cause the "Suspicious Package" deliveryman NPC to get stuck near the building's main entrance, preventing package retrieval.
  • Quality of Life:
    • Improved the responsiveness of the "Interrogate Tenant" dialogue options, particularly when dealing with the "Suspicious Activity" report on Comrade Ivanova.
    • Added a subtle audio cue when a new "Ministry Directive" is received, ensuring you don't miss crucial instructions.
    • Optimized loading times when transitioning between the apartment building interior and the "Overseer's Office" interface.

Version 1.2.0 - "The Whispering Walls" (Updated: 02/28/2024)

A significant content update introducing new surveillance tools, tenant behaviors, and a challenging new questline.

  • New Features:
    • Advanced Surveillance Equipment:
      • Miniature Wall Microphone: Available for purchase from the "Black Market Dealer" for 500 Credits. Can be installed in shared walls between apartments (e.g., between Apartment 2A and 2B) to passively gather conversations. Installation requires a "Toolkit" (found in the Janitor's Closet, ground floor) and a successful "Stealth Check" (influenced by your "Conductor's Discretion" stat).
      • Pigeon Cam: A new, high-risk, high-reward surveillance option. Purchase a "Trained Pigeon" from the "Street Vendor" for 750 Credits. Release it from your apartment window to observe specific outdoor areas or other apartment windows. Be warned: the pigeon can be spotted by vigilant tenants, leading to a "Suspicion Report" if detected.
    • Dynamic Tenant Behaviors: Tenants now exhibit more varied routines and interactions, making surveillance more challenging and rewarding. Look for new "Suspicious Interactions" like clandestine meetings in the courtyard or hushed conversations in the laundry room.
    • "The Dissident's Dossier" Questline: A multi-stage quest focusing on uncovering a network of dissidents within the building.
      1. Stage 1: The Initial Tip: Receive an anonymous "Ministry Tip" regarding "Subversive Writings" in Apartment 4C.
      2. Stage 2: Gathering Evidence: You must install a "Miniature Wall Microphone" in the wall between Apartment 4B and 4C. Listen for keywords like "Freedom," "Resistance," or "The Old Ways."
      3. Stage 3: The Drop Point: Once enough evidence is gathered, you'll receive a new directive to observe the "Public Bench" in the park outside the building between 22:00 and 23:00. Use your "Pigeon Cam" to capture photographic evidence of the information exchange.
      4. Stage 4: The Interrogation: Confront the tenant in Apartment 4C with your collected evidence. Success or failure will depend on your "Interrogation Skill" and the weight of your evidence.
  • Balance Changes:
    • Increased the "Suspicion Gain" from being observed by tenants while performing illegal activities by 15%.
    • Reduced the cost of "Basic Bugging Devices" from 150 Credits to 100 Credits.
    • Adjusted the "Ministry Approval Rating" decay rate, making it slightly more forgiving for minor infractions.

Version 1.1.0 - "The Oversight Protocol" (Updated: 01/10/2024)

This update introduced the "Ministry Directives" system and expanded the game's narrative options.

  • New Features:
    • Ministry Directives: A new system where the Ministry issues specific, time-sensitive tasks. Failing to complete these directives can lead to "Ministry Disapproval" and potential penalties. Directives appear as red envelopes on your desk in the "Overseer's Office."
    • Expanded Dialogue Options: More choices in conversations with tenants, allowing for deeper role-playing and varied outcomes for certain quests.
    • New Item: "Forged Documents Kit": Available for 300 Credits from the "Underground Contact" (accessible via the "Secret Passage" in the basement). Allows you to create fake "Identification Papers" or "Work Permits" for tenants, potentially aiding or hindering Ministry objectives.
  • Bug Fixes:
    • Fixed an exploit where players could infinitely reset the "Tenant Eviction" timer by repeatedly talking to the tenant.
    • Addressed a rare bug where the "Power Outage" event would sometimes not resolve, leaving the building in perpetual darkness.

Version 1.0.0 - "Initial Deployment" (Released: 12/01/2023)

  • Core Features:
    • Apartment management and tenant surveillance.
    • Installation of basic surveillance equipment (cameras, listening devices).
    • Reporting suspicious activities to the Ministry.
    • Decision-making with moral consequences.
    • Initial set of tenants and their unique stories.
