Recyclic

REALLY FUN GAME AND ADDICTING TBH STARTED PLAYING IT AND FORGOT I WAS IN A CALL WITH MY MATES WOULD RATE IT u should play it tbf

it's a really cheap game, but... just don't bother. the amount of content is about as minimal as can be

It's like Papers please, but instead of a checkpoint you work at a recycling plant. The problem with it is you make way too much money so there is no stakes. I finished the game with 4k+ and I did everything in my power to spend that money but just couldn't. Also the upgrades are very limited and you can max them out very quickly. I had a maxed out setup less than half-way through the story. Had like 50 extra upgrade points that I couldn't use. Other than these 2, it's a great game. 100% Worth the time.

Recyclic bears more than a few similarities to Lucas Pope's excellent Papers, Please, except rather than being a border inspector in a late 20th century communist state, this time you're a recycling plant line worker in a poorly-defined authoritarian state of some sort. As in Papers, Please, your task starts off fairly simple (sort items by material into the correct bins), and escalates as the rules of what goes where shifts and extra steps are added such as crushing all cans before sorting or washing out soiled items. Unlike PP, your rent cost stays fixed over the course of the game so there isn't increasing pressure and honestly while I did enjoy gameplay, it never felt particularly difficult or challenging in the ways that late-game PP did. Nevertheless, if you enjoy "sort 'em ups," you're going to dig Recyclic.

Not even 3 hours in and already nothing to purchase.

The game is nice and simple with some real world senarios. It's fun little sorting game with many hints and references at current day issues. The gameplay itself is about 50ish weeks (days)
