About Papers, Please
You're a border inspector deciding who gets into the communist state of Arstotzka by carefully scrutinizing travelers' documents for forged papers, false identities, and contraband. The game's brilliant hook is watching seemingly innocent rule changes from the Ministry slowly transform you into a morally compromised bureaucrat, forcing you to choose between following orders and helping desperate people.
The October labor lottery is complete. Your name was pulled.
For immediate placement, report to the Ministry of Admission at Grestin Border Checkpoint.
An apartment will be provided for you and your family in East Grestin. Expect a Class-8 dwelling.
Glory to Arstotzka
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.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players appreciate the game's polished presentation, interesting atmosphere, and challenging gameplay that keeps them engaged early on. However, many find the core gameplay loop becomes repetitive over time, leading to diminishing interest despite the decent story and overall quality execution.
Love Love Love, absolute favourite game of all time. Love the graphics style, the music slaps, the story, the themes, the repetitive motions and the sound effect of stamping. This is my comfort game! Beautifully done and there will never be another like it!
I love this game, even though it frustrates me. I guess I love pain, and betraying my fellow citizens
A wonderful, classic game. I consider this a must-play game for any gamer, it's that well-made. A good story for any age and demographic. Some good graphics that you don't need a good PC to run, but good enough to be appreciated on better ones.
Very fun and replayable, multiple endings, multiple choices actually affecting gameplay outcomes throughout. I've collected achievements and endings and still enjoy the challenge of playing, recommend to anyone!
Glory to Arstotska. Go Arse-kickers.
this game has been on my list of games to play for a long time, and im honestly glad i played it. would recommend
