Summary

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.

    Papers, Please is a simple game with a surprisingly original concept. The gameplay is straightforward, but it manages to stay engaging and satisfying thanks to the decisions you have to make and the consequences that follow them. I also really liked the fact that the game has multiple endings, which gives you a reason to replay it and see how different choices can change the outcome. It’s not the most complex game out there, but it doesn’t need to be. Its simplicity is part of what makes it work so well. Overall, a very original and enjoyable experience that surprised me more than I expected, even for mobile.
