Story
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.

Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
It’s one thing to say you’d never take a bribe: It’s quite another when your options are taking one or missing rent or going hungry. That’s but a taste of the moral quandaries in Papers, Please, which puts you in the shoes of a border checkpoint agent in a fictional 1980s nation. Learning to master passport processing skills, avoiding fines, and making the most of your paycheck is uniquely satisfying and provocative in a way few games manage to achieve. This celebrated indie gem teaches us as much about empathy as it does time management.
Such a Good Game!
You wouldn’t think that an Authoritarian Bureaucracy Passport Stamping simulator would be thrilling game but you would be wrong! Papers Please is a great game and even though it has simple graphics and gameplay it really captures the feeling of working for a Soviet style Bureaucracy where the authorities constantly change the rules, you can barely make ends meet so bribery seems like the only option and one wrong move could lead to you being jailed or executed. I highly recommend this great game!
Incredibly thoughtful Mobile Port
Lucas Pope has a developer blog post about moving this game over to mobile, and the passion really shows through the gameplay.
Genuinely is my favourite version of the game now. Endless mode is great for commutes/work breaks.
If you’ve never heard of the game before, then super quick- it’s one of the most influential indie games ever made. You miss nothing playing this version on mobile versus PC. To quote Pope “same meal, different plate”.
