Bystander

When I first bought this game months ago when it was still in early access, I was expecting an interesting game about government censorship in the same style as Paper's Please. Overall the gameplay is similar, but the game is clearly filled with bugs, even months after it exited early access. There are multiple messages that should be marked as "Guity" because they violate the set rules you're given at the time, but the game will still penalize you because it doesn't fit the exact definition of whatever rule that is supposed to apply to it, then other's should be marked as "Clear", but the game, again, will penalize you for not knowing the exact definition of the rule that should apply to it. There's one message that straight up said "F**k this government!" in it and I marked it as guilty because it clearly violated the game's rule of "Negative expression towards the government or authority", but the game penalized me anyway for reasons of something like "The message fell under the topic of 'revolution' not anti-government". The game is straight up broken and doesn't follow its own rules! The game also doesn't have that much variety with the messages you have to judge, I've seen …

This could've been something great like papers please but... it falls to reach it. I dunno if there is any real content to it because i got so mind numdly bored after just 12 minutes(.2 hrs). Nothing really seemed to be happening at all. In papers please there is a clear sense of progression or things happening i.e. you work til your shift is over and determine if your family is given food and heat and as the game goes own it puts a spin on things. Here I don't eve know, I was just endlessy stamping things. Felt like i was playing in an empty void.

It's said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. However this may look like 'Papers Please', it's not as well designed. As a matter of fact it is a far cry from the type of game that this one tries to emulate.

DONT GET THIS. When you mark something as expired, the game doesnt work. Overall, this game feels kinda fun, but some elements feel bootleg and bad. For 7 more dollars, get an actual game, Papers, Please.

I accidentally bought this in 2017 cause I thought that it was "Papers Please" game. I was too young to know for refund. FML

Challenging and fun. Some glitches here and there but that may be my graphics card. Still testing. I really like this game!
