So, to get it out of the way, this is a lot like Paper's Please. It's unfortunately a bit weaker in many respects. As with any game when you're under a clock, it's important that you can easily discern details. So when a character rocks up who's hair or hat or whatever is nearly the same color as the wall behind him & I have to decide if he is the person pictured on his ID: I am gonna have a bad time. Puzzles with either nonsensical, too subtle, or conflicting presumed-goals (like the Viklav thing) add to the frustration. The game is quite good in how it applies pressure on you, & the visuals & audio are also quite good (with the exception of how difficult it can sometimes be to see the heads of patrons on dark backgrounds) Frankly I'd give it 3 stars were it not for the need to offset trash reviews from angry brexit-obsessed people whigh GoG for some reason allows to exist, so it's a 4. It's a servicably OK game you will probably enjoy if you like Papers Please. It has some irritating, perhaps poor design decisions & punitive gameplay aspects.
