What is Beholder: Conductor?

Beholder: Conductor is a single-player point-and-click political simulation set aboard a train crossing a dystopian state. As its senior conductor, you inspect passengers, search luggage, document prohibited activity, file reports, and decide whether to involve police or remove travelers. Advancing through the train opens dining and VIP cars, secret assignments, and choices affecting passengers and colleagues.
