It seemed to lack any kind of depth and seemed to be so far removed from what is expected of games now-a-days. To add tension to this you can also see the current status of your family as they all need looking after, fail to do so for successive days and they could die.Īfter playing this for half an hour or so, and going through the daily loop of a border guard a few times, I realised I was at a loss as to what to make of the game. Realistically though I was generally left with nothing as the wage I received was tiny and the rent kept increasing. After these deductions I may be left with some money to buy food, heating or medicine. A simple results screen shows how much I earned, how much I was penalised for letting the wrong applicants in and how much my basic rent cost. In vetting applicants I was playing the part of an employee and as such after each day ended I was awarded my pay. Its slow, bureaucratic, work and basically involves you scouring the document for mistakes, flipping pages to cross check facts and then dragging your stamp out to accept or reject the applicant. These characters walk up to your window and hand you their passport and any other supportive documentation and you use the Vita’s touchscreen to flip the docs down and check the information. As the border guard the play screen is mostly taken up by your desk and the various rulebooks and instructions you’ll need to check the legitimacy of the, would be, applicants. Four years down the line, and on a new platform, is it time to re-assess Papers, Please.įrom a purely gameplay point of view Papers, Please is repetitive, dull and complicated. I also remember there being a little bit of backlash to it with some people moaning about the lack of traditional gameplay elements. I remember critical acclaim being lavished upon it and certain reviews expressing how it transcended videogames to become almost art.
#Papers please game controls Pc
I’d heard about Papers, Please when it was released in 2013 on PC although I never played it at the time. Based in a fictional eastern European Soviet State you take the role of a border control immigration officer, working within the system to allow or refuse entry to the people wanting to enter. Papers, Please is up there as one of the oddest I’ve played. I’ve played lots of games and lots of games that aren’t traditional games.
