***** And I'm fine with that. Because if "Papers Please" is considered a good game, I'll rather be playing the bad ones... you know... the ones that aren't a a boring border-agent simulator
I think you'll agree that the cartoony, 'ugly' graphics are an important part of setting this game's dystopian atmosphere. It just wouldn't be the same with realistic 3D graphics.
Hello inspector. We have audited your activities for the past 20 years. There are some anomalies. But you have served Arstotzka well. We will overlook these small transgressions. You have been cleared of any suspicion. Glory to Arstotzka.

"Ok! Here we go! Glory to Arstotzka! The greatest country!" "Where is your passport?" "Passport! Arstotzka so great, passport not required. Right?" "A passport is required" "Ok ok, I hear you. I come back again." 10/10 would talk to Jorji again.
This game actually unironically made me better at my job. The game requires you to focus and be aware of written information and compare and contrast this information quickly and accurately. This translates very well to what I do.
I'm replying cause I'm currently working a pharmacovigilance job combing through databases of medicine trials and i legitimately think i'm doing good at my job because of papers please lmao
Can we not talk about Jorji Costava!? That guy was denied for like 10 times but kept coming back. Hahaha, though he got an approval for like once. Hahaha

I seriously hope you made boatloads of money from this game, definitely one of the most original games I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I absolutely loved it.
Me: sells candy My school: We’ve noticed a large amount of money deposited in your account. This is treason of the highest order and is punishable with suspension. Glory to the school system
Now, some of you might be wondering 'Why is this game fun?' It's a fair question! That said, if you think games like Last of Us or Half Life 2 had 'too much talking' and you didn't quite get what was going on... this game isn't for you. Go play DmC instead. For everyone else, this game is something special. "A paperwork simulator?" you might think, "How boring!" And you'd be right. That's entirely the point. Your job is hard, monotonous, even soul-crushing. You're in a tiny office in the freezing cold, having to deal with people who hate you, day in, day out. But then other things start to happen in the middle of the monotony. A man with an incurable illness is trying to smuggle his medication. A drug smuggler offers a bribe to avoid a search. It's more than the fine if you screw up. Do you let him through? A known criminal has all the correct paperwork in place. Do you let HIM through? A pleading mother is missing her permit and begs to be reunited with her family, at the cost of a meal for your own. Soon the questions about loyalty, racism and ethics become a constant barrage and your methods and motives are forced into uncomfortable places. The world hinges on your stamp. And this all comes from a frickin. Paperwork. Simulator. Why is Papers Please a great game? Because it does something no other game ever has. It's a mockery of the idea of escapism. It asks you hard questions with only wrong answers and expects you to answer them quickly. If that idea intrigues you, do yourself a favour and play this game!
And this is why I hate websites like IGN and Machinima. They get paid to TERRIBLY review games while there's people like you who review the games just because they want to, and do a fantastic job at that. I love your review. It made me buy it!
Not a bad explanation about why this game is so great at all, but despite all the great reviews this game has gotten, I'm still waiting for an article that REALLY digs its teeth into this game. I have found so. fucking. much. content. This game is seriously a masterpiece and one of my favourite games of all time. It's not just about communism, it's about the concept of human interaction itself. It's not just about morality and ethical dilemmas, it's about the temptation in all of us that exposes the true relativistic existence of the human condition. The juxtaposition between individuality and a mass identity is perfectly executed at every moment of gameplay. Every character you meet feels like their own person, with their own story, and the part of the trailer where the image of the person in the booth rapidly changes every frame perfectly portrays that aspect of the game. You decide the fate of hundreds of people in this game. People that feel like PEOPLE. But you are forced, for the sake of your own survival and family to think of them as not individual people, but atoms in an incomprehensibly large object that is everyone outside of Arstotzka. That is the heart of communism. There are two kinds of people. Us, and them. All of us are the same. All of them are the same. The more you dehumanize every applicant you process, the more you think of them as nothing more than a tiny piece of the infinite body of "outside of Arstotzka," the more you just go through the motions and treat them exactly like every other applicant, the more money you make and the better off you and your family is, but the less human you yourself becomes. Glory to Arstotzka.
Somehow I just got to play this game recently... Can't believe that it's been 10 years since it was released!!! The graphics, sounds, and content all seem to be quite new and well-designed. I really wish there were more endings to explore. Such a gem, it gives me so much fun and different feelings. It reflects many things in reality. It's Epic!!! Thank u :D
This has to be one of the most strangely compelling games I've played in years. On paper, the premise is really weird and not something one would think to make a game out of, but it's actually pretty good.
I want a WiiU port. Come on, this would be perfectly fit on the WiiU, with your tablet being the desk and the TV the outside, you can youse the stylus instead of your mouse + there's a big wave of indie games coming to the WiiU right now, we already have Don't Starve, terraria and Minecraft (+tons of smaller indie games), why not don't starve
+Cardi Jey Wii U and 3DS On Wii U it can look like the iPad version, on 3DS, the top can be the view, and a button on the side can bring in the next person
I just finished the game as a loyal employer at arstotzka only caring for my own, my friends and state... NOW lets see how it will go when i try to play as a traitor :) Great game
I don't think Lucas will be doing another Papers please. He's said that he's a bit out of it since he's worked on the game for so long. :\ Though I've noticed on Metacritic that there's a papers please for the PlayStation 4. Not sure what that's about or if it's even true. ._.
This is one of the best games I have ever played. The amount of depth the game had while retaining a sense of simplicity that makes it easy to dive right in and play. It was a great time to stream this when it was released. Thank you.
The only way I am interested in this game because a couple years ago I went to Berlin and I was so interested in the Berlin Wall but this game actually more interests me more than the Wall. I even have predictions what Arstotzka looks like in 2015. Idea for the sequel: In Papers Please 2, it's 1st December 1997 and the fight between Kolechia and Arstotzka has gone mild but still enemies. You are the Inspector's Son who is working at the new and improved Grestin Checkpoint. The game goes up to 2nd February 1998 that's when the wall falls down and the 2 countries free'd the border. Grestin is made into a territory which is shared between Kolechia and Arstotzka. In maybe one of the endings it might happen that you visit the border 17 years later with your family as an attraction and you live in United Fed.
Canada has a special agreement witht he EEC. Both Norway and Iceland are members of the EEC wich is basicly the EU without the political aspect. Switzerland has adopted the Schengen agreement, to ensure free movement of people. When you're in Europe, it's hard not to strike a deal with the EU in some way. If the UK was able to move their island 2000km to the west, I'm sure they'd vote on it.
Atrociouz If it were geologically possible, I'm sure the British would consider moving their Island two thousand miles to the East. Stuck between the US and Europe, where they've always wanted to be.
What I like about this trailer is how the music lines up perfectly. It shows just how monotone and how repetitive playing this game is. It's not promising unique gameplay and failing to deliver. It's setting you up to know exactly what you are about to play, what you're getting into. Story. It's the story that counts.
Does it mean I'm a horrible person if I like playing this game??? Cause I do... I fraking love playing this game! Didn't think I would actually like a game where I am a border guard but it was actually fun.... in a twisted sort of way.
So awesome. I really love the presentation on your dystopic/political intrigue games so far, and this trailer at least partly captures that! The quirky, grim humour is perfect. We laugh to keep ourselves from crying...
Papers, Please is a brilliant game in all aspects, especially in that it exercises one's brain in very good ways -- focus, pattern matching, attention to detail, and hand-eye coordination. I used to process payrolls for a living... people tend to get a bit annoyed when their pay gets screwed up, so observation, focus, and detail were needed in that job! it definitely prepared me for this game. I got this on Steam a couple of days ago and can hardly tear myself away from it.
One of the few games I've ever played that's hugely engaging without being the least bit fun. Major kudos to the developers, this is the power of the interactive medium right here.
Been enjoying this game for years now. Sometimes, after a long day, I just wanna sit down and play Papers, Please. This game is a masterpiece Glory to Arstozka!

+DiamondBug542 I think the beautiful part of this game is that it doesn't show a lot in the trailer, but you have to play it instead to experience everything. It expects you to think you will just keep on stamping passports, and even though you saw a terrorist attack in the trailer, you have no idea what to expect from this.
DiamondBug542 That sounds pretty acceptable. Even if they couldn't let him talk, at least showing him in the trailer (maybe for just a split-second for added effect) would be cool. That being said, I also hoped they wouldn't really show the terrorist attacks. I would imagine it would be intresting to let people think it is just a simple game where you stamp passports and nothing ever happens. That way it would shock the player even more when a terrorist attack takes place.
I've been playing this daily since coming across it on GOG. Great 80's Eastern Bloc atmosphere - appearance, music, and of course, the bureaucracy. No spoilers here, but there are multiple endings, and an actual, compelling story. I love this game! Thanks for making it!
It's almost like this theme song was made just for the trailer, it's synced perfectly, right down to 0:57-0:59 where the song intensifies as the grenade explodes.
I recently got this game AND BLOPS2, and this game beats it by a wide margin. As I kept watching non-interactive cliché ridden cutscenes, I kept thinking about what amounts to a paperwork simulator. Treyarch should be collectively ashamed of themselves by getting their asses whooped by a lone indie developer working on a tiny fraction of their budget, and is probably fully staffed by Kolechian scum. GLORY TO ARSTOTSKA/NEW ARSTOTSKA/COBRASTAN!
Coming to a football match, pub, supermarket or restaurant near you soon. Who'd thought we'd be showing our papers in 2021!! You should do a covid passport game too
Can someone explain this to me? It looks pretty interesting, and the music sounds nice, but I'm not too particularly fond of the NES-style graphics, though I can manage. Is it worth playing?
If the only thing you care about video games is graphics, then yes. I have friends who only play for graphics, story, glitches/bugs, music, flow and depth has no impact on them what so ever. If those don't matter to you then don't pick it up.
Кратка история того, как я попал на этот ролик: Посмотрел новый обзор от Евгения на фильм "Черновик". Мельком промелькнуло лицо таможенника с оценкой "крутой". Попробовал погуглить "таможенник" "крутой таможенник" "таможня фильм" "фильм таможенник германия"... никаких результатов. Тогда сделал скрин лица и воспользовался поиском по картинке от гугла. Нашел ролик "PAPERS, PLEASE - The Short Film". После просмотра стала интересна предыстория ролика, нашел статью "Превосходный мини-триллер! Фильм по Papers, Please появился в Сети", из которой узнал, что короткометражка основана на игре "Papers, Please". Погуглил и нашел этот ролик.
@@Dumpsterfire95 I would like to have your calm and confidence for the future, for me it's already quite creepy, It seems to have to cross a soviet border for a Pizza, between temperature controls, green pass check, and sometimes even documents verification.
You're under arrest for showing the trailer of Papers, Please. The Penalty Is Demonitized. Your family will be questioned about their inveloment. The Recommended section will remain open under a new youtuber. Glory to Arstotzka!
Hello Inspector We have audited your activities for the past 6 years You've been coming back as a inspector for the past 6 years and served it well Thought there are some anomalies We will clear those small transgressions Glory to Arstotzka!
