[img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5168294/paperspleasebanner.png[/img] [quote]The communist state of Arstotzka has 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.[/quote] Papers, Please is a work-in-progress game by Lucas Pope. It details the exciting life as an immigrant inspector trying to make his way in glorious Arstotzka. The game's core mechanics are quite complex. For every immigrant requesting access through the border, you must check their passport, their ID, their ticket, and/or their work papers and ensure that there are no mistakes. Mistakes can be as obvious as a fake passport, or they can be as subtle as a slightly different passport number. Either way, you must be on the lookout for these fakers. Failure to catch these immigrant scum can lead to penalties, ranging from a pay deduction to (?). Currently, the game is in beta. You can download it [url=http://dukope.com/] here.[/url] Alternatively, you can download it [url=http://duck.me.uk/Files/PapersPlease-0.5.11-Win.zip]here[/url] if the former doesn't work. Also, the creator is asking for Greenlight votes.

Holy fuck, this looks amazing!
Can't seem to validate my email on the insert your name ingame thing.
this is awesome
It's a really neat game, but man, I suck at it.
Why is monotony so much goddamn fun
I think the game needs a bigger area for the document table.
The limited amount of time each day is slightly distressing.
[QUOTE=Tac Error;40322599]I think the game needs a bigger area for the document table.[/QUOTE] thats half the fun
strangely really fun
I got to try this, but it's 2 am and I've got business early tomorrow morning. I'll play tomorrow afternoon.

Fuck sleep. Played until day 3. This is fucking awesome. If he expands on the concept I would gladly pay 5 or 10 dollars for this game.
I never thought that a game about being a border document inspector would be this entertaining. Just goes to show you can turn almost anything into a game.
wow i just played through the beta and it really is lots of fun. Something about that sort of job appeals to my sick twisted mind.
Could someone please post a download mirror? I'll love you forever if you do
This was unexpectedly fun.

Berlin Wall Simulator 2013.
[QUOTE=Novangel;40325405]Uh would it be warez or what?[/QUOTE] No. Just put it up on media fire. I can't seem to get on the website for some reason is the problem. :|
I linked it on your profile :v:
Thank you! edit: I get an error. Shit. Invalid char 60 at position 0 ;+;
How the fuck do you leave when the working day ends? If I keep doing shit when it ends, I don't get paid for it, so how the hell do I just leave?
The day ends when you're done working. If you've got someone in the checkpoint past 6pm while everyone is leaving, you still have to finish with them. If you're impatient, just deny them entry! :v:

Oh, that guy, I love that guy, you'll be seeing more of him. mark a discrepancy with the rule about documents and the empty desk to ask about it.
Just finished the beta, it was surprisingly fun. I like the bits where you can [sp]split up a married couple, catch a murder and help prostitutes.[/sp] It breaks the monotony up a little.
I just finished playing the Beta. Holy shit, that was fucking dark. Amazing game. I like what they've done so far.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/KewoDvj.png[/IMG] I guess this is where it starts coming down to choosing between food and heat while balancing bribes and penalties. This game got hard fast.
I can't get this game to run on my laptop. I guess I'll have to try it later on my desktop. Damn you, 32-bit windows 8 upgrade from vista!!!
