Congratulations. The October labor lottery is complete. Your name was pulled.
For immediate placement, report to the The Ministry of Admission at Grestin Border Checkpoint. An apartment will be provided for you and your family in East Grestin. Expect a Class-8 dwelling. Glory to Arstotzka.
The communist state of Arstotzka has just ended a 6-year war with neighboring Kolechia and reclaimed its rightful half of the border town, Grestin. Your job as immigration inspector is to control the flow of people entering the Arstotzkan side of Grestin from Kolechia. Among the throngs of immigrants and visitors looking for work are hidden smugglers, spies, and terrorists. Using only the documents provided by travelers and the Ministry of Admission's primitive inspect, search, and fingerprint systems you must decide who can enter Arstotzka and who will be turned away or arrested.
Immerse yourself in a fictional world of spies, criminals, terrorists, secret societies, government agents and more.
Unique document-inspection gameplay with escalating challenges.
Decide the fate of countless hopeful immigrants while balancing your income and family needs.
You'd never expect a document inspection game to have such a rich world and storyline, but the one-man team that created this did a fantastic job of doing just that. Increasingly challenging puzzle gameplay, 20 different endings, tons of intrigue. One of the best $3 games I've ever seen.
The first time I played this, I stopped after several hours and had to almost get a therapy - that's how this game works, and how tought the decisions are that you have to make. Half a year later I finished it again and again, but never took it lightly - with simple resources and compelling interactive storytelling "Papers, Please" draws you completely into the grey and harsh totalitarian enironment.
Wow! I can't believe this "simple / basic" and "low-graphics" game has so much on it! The idea behind it is very good and quite real when compared to a communist country.
The random visitors go on and on, bribes in the mix and too much control from the government.
It is a really great game and being multi-platform makes it even better :)
Well done for the game...
There's really nothing I could add to this that nobody else has said already except that this game really is all that it's cracked up to be. Great concept, powerful story, very well made.
