About Papers, Please

«Papers, Please» is an intriguing and absorbing game that places you at the heart of a fictional republic called Arstotzka. In this game, you take on the role of an immigration inspector, whose duty is to control the flow of people entering the fantasy-filled country.

Make the right decision

In this dystopian world, the tension is high, and every decision you make has an impact. Each day, you are presented with a series of immigrants, each with their own set of documents. Your task is to verify the authenticity of these documents, looking for discrepancies and possible falsifications in each file.

Follow the rules? Or trust your gut?

But «Papers, Please» goes beyond being a simple document review game. It confronts you with moral dilemmas and difficult decisions that go to the extreme. Should you allow a refugee entry who does not have the correct papers? Or should you follow the rules to the letter, even if it means separating families?

Family or Work

In addition, you must balance your duties with the needs of your own family. Each incorrect decision or each day that you do not meet your work quota can mean less food or heating for your family and for you.

Graphics

With its pixelated artistic style and absorbing narrative, «Papers, Please» is a game that challenges you to make difficult decisions and face the consequences of your actions. It is a grim reminder of the challenges people face in immigration situations and the pressures of living in an authoritarian and convulsive state.
