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.

The variety and attention to detail in a game about repetition is quite incredible. At times decisions you make will even influence future gameplay.92Hooked Gamers

With a deluge of big-budget, high-profile games on the horizon, it might be easy to overlook a quiet, unusual game like Papers, Please. But don’t do that, comrade. The consequences would be dire.90Toronto Sun

This software provides an interesting experience with its unique story, but the gameplay can be lacking at times.80IGN Italia
It’s quite hard to consider this a “game”, and it rather feels like an interactive documentary. In any case, we think it’s something necessary and worth checking out.75Vandal
