A Gripping Tale of Morality and Duty in a Dystopian World

Boris Weber

Papers, Please challenges players with complex ethical decisions while offering an immersive experience as an immigration officer in a totalitarian state.
2024 Editor's Choice

A compelling dystopian document thriller, this game is the recipient of multiple prestigious awards and widespread critical acclaim.

The narrative unfolds in the communist state of Arstotzka, a recently reunited half of the border town Grestin after a 6-year war with neighboring Kolechia. As an immigration inspector, you are tasked with controlling the influx of people entering Arstotzka from Kolechia. However, the challenge lies in identifying hidden smugglers, spies, and terrorists among the crowds of immigrants and visitors.

Equipped with only the provided traveler documents and the Ministry of Admission's basic inspect, search, and fingerprint systems, your decisions will determine who is allowed entry into Arstotzka and who is to be turned away or apprehended.

This package includes the full original game featuring 31 days and 20 different endings. Additionally, it offers enhanced features such as unlockable multitouch support for faster paperwork, an improved inspection mode, Game Center achievements and leaderboards, mid-day resume functionality, and more.

Warning: Please note that this game explores mature themes and contains instances of non-photographic nudity as well as brief moments of pixelated violence.
