Order in the line!

Papers, Please, a unique dystopian game of social drama, and political statements, challenging your alertness, attention to detail, and morals with the puzzling and stressful work of an immigration inspector, is available for pre-orders on GOG.com, for Windows and Mac, for only $9.99!

Comrade! As you assume your post at the Grestin Border Checkpoint the Ministry of Admission would like to remind you that your work is crucial to the safety of the People's Republic of Arstotzka. The enemies of the state are many and our borders should remain impenetrable. Stay alert! Terrorists, spies, and miscreants will take advantage of your every smallest mistake to enter our motherland and threaten the people. Be vigilant! Always check and double-check every detail. Never ignore any inconsistency. The safety of our glorious nation rest is your personal responsibility! Oh, by the way, comrade--you will be paid based on the number of people you control each day. And we're raising your rent.

Papers, Please simulates the work of a immigration inspector whose responsibility is to controll the passports and other papers of the people trying to cross the border of your country. Your job gets more complicated daily, as new regulations are passed by the Ministry of Admission and the illegal immigrants get more and more creative in the attempts of tricking you into letting them in. You will face the grim reality of a dystopian communist republic of the early 1980s as you try to support your family and not end up in front of a firing squad as a traitor. Challenging, morally ambiguous, and intense gameplay will blow your mind!

Pre-order Papers, Please for only $9.99 and feel the Ministry of Admission breathing down your neck, as soon as the game arrives (which is expected to happen on August 8).
$9.99 for this thing? I played the beta and thought it was totally unexceptional, but hey, at least it;'s free.
Pre-orders now also up via Bundle Store - http://papersplea.se/. Same price, but you get DRM free and Steam key, as well as giving the developer a 95% cut.
Sort of reminds me of Floor 13.

How much of a cut does GOG take then?

If we go by what Fish said on Twitter, GoG take about 25%, same as Steam.

Do bare in mind that every individual game will have individual contacts, and the cuts are negotiated for each.

Edit - Yes, sorry they take 30%. http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/05/02/steam-and-gog-take-30-revenue-cut-suggests-fez-creator-phil-fish/

I think Steam and GOG take 30%, can't remember where I read that though

Thank-you both.
I knew they took a cut but 25-30% is not too bad really. I was expecting to hear 40% after I knew Fish had had that explosion about cancelling Fez 2 (That scaly bastard). Yet I can see where 5% especially for an indie developer is much better.
No thanks, I already get carded every day.
Very nice game. I tryed the beta versions and it is very entertaining although the description text doesn't look very spectacular. Try the beta for yourself. You can get it from the official site.

I'm skeptical, but intrigued as well. I'll just see what others have to say about the release first and if it differs much from the free beta.
I believe it's more a 5$ game then a 10$ game... 10$ is a little bit too much for this kind of game.
I enjoyed the demo quite a bit a few months ago (v0.5.7).
Hope it comes for Debian/Ubuntu too.

Think about the author, he want's to get some money from what he love and spend most of his free time. When GOG and Steam takes 30% he still have 7$. Well, that is something. But when he will sell it in here for 5, he would get no more than 3.50$. I think it's a reasonable price for such entertaining game.
Looks as though it has potential, added to my wishlist for now.

If I wanted to do charity, I'd spend money in Africa.
The author is presenting a product. At 10$, it compares rather poorly with other products of similar price.
At 5$, it can pass much easier on the consumer market, as an alternative-experience indie game.
It's harsh, but we can't have every indi gamer coming up with an original/clever Idea, asking for an important price, can we ?
I'm pretty sure many GOGers would agree with me that it's more in the lines of a 5$ game
