But what it is is a very interesting experiment about the bureaucracy and corruption of these systems. Papers, Please is not a game for everybody, nor is it easy to recommend. This while making sure you're making enough money to pay for your expenses. A game where your main job is to serve drinks and get to know your customers.

This game could very well be an inspiration for other indie developers such as Sukeban Games, developers of VA-11 HALL-A: A Cyberpunk Bartender Action. Don't worry, there are some events to lighten things up from time to time, but never fully relax and keep an eye out. But it also serves as some sort of fake documentary about a communist country and their lifestyle.

This is, by all means, a game not just for fun. Your pay is minimal, so you'll have to be efficient in your job to guarantee an income for your household, but be careful of becoming corrupt, for there are serious consequences for thin behavior against the motherland. Keep in mind that this will be getting tougher and tougher by the day and that you only get paid by the number of papers you stamp. Working 12 Hours a day, you'll have to ask some questions and verify that everything to judge who can get through and enter the country. Yes, we are a simple government agent, our job is to place a stamp on the documents of these people, allowing them to get in, or getting them out of our country. In Papers, Please we play as an employee in the Ministry of Immigration, and we are the ones in charge of deciding who gets in and who doesn't. You won't be fighting to defend your country, nor saving the world from an alien invasion. We live in 1982, in the imaginary communist Republic of Arstotzka, but we won't be taking into exciting missions, nor are we soldiers going to war with the equally imaginary Kolechia.
