This game is surprisingly fun, never thought I'd get enjoyment out of stamping paper. :v:
it's too bad you can only mod the assets and not the game mechanics. I'd like a mode where you have more time but the discrepancies are harder to spot.
[QUOTE=Wolfos;40345795]This game isn't hard once you get into the rhythm of things. It's still pretty darn fun though.
I'm on day 8 with $30 in savings and everyone alive. I've been pretty strict, but I couldn't stop myself from letting the married couple through.
I got a nice coin and a feelgood sensation from it. Way more interesting than the bribes that occasionally get thrown at you.[/QUOTE]
I can't help but ignore most of the sob stories that get thrown at you because I can't help but think it's just people trying to take advantage of you.

[sp]Although if you arrest the guy that the woman warns you about you get mentioned on the front page of the newspaper[/sp]
In my honest opinion, I don't feel any emotional connection in this game. It tries to make you feel sad for the people and want to break the rules to let them in but I never let like I wanted to. Maybe I'm just heartless but did anyone else feel this way?

It makes you wonder how horrible the other countries must be
i hate how unclear the brothel note is
i would decline him entry, but apparently you have to compare the name on the note to his name to get the option to detain him

Or you could just give the note to him which triggers the possibility to detain him.
This game has my stamp of approval.
Absolutely love this game. Cant wait to see what future updates bring, someone mentioned implementing a slower timescale with a more in-depth papers check, would love that!
Got beat on stamp avatars, showing my patriotism for glorious Cobrastan instead!

Damn, I just denied him and got a citation for my trouble.

Cobrastan is not real country.

Oh man. I just questioned a woman's gender (definitely female face), and she said that she was a man, and it gave me the option to search them.
Oh man was I surprised.
i don't understand how a game about immigrant inspection could ever be considered fun
guess i'll have to play it and see for myself, downloading now.
I'll greenlight it anyway. but it just seems like a very odd thing to make a game about
It's one of those games where the mechanics really immerse you, so you develop a playstyle and it's very satisfying. You start constructing your own narrative.
I tried

Rules say [sp]I must search everyone,[/sp] but I can't figure out how.
[QUOTE=matt000024;40350764]Rules say [sp]I must search everyone,[/sp] but I can't figure out how.[/QUOTE]
If it is the one where it is all from a certain country, highlight their passport and the rule saying they must be searched I think.
Oh thanks, I couldn't figure that out.
Just chiming in to say this game is freaking awesome and unique. Everybody died except my wife, and she was pretty close to dying.
I kept my family fine until the day before the last when I couldn't afford heat and food, I come home and they're all cold and hungry already.
This is gonna be tricky in the full game.
I don't see how people are having a problem with family members dying. I can easily process ~12-14 people per day, and when I alternate paying for food/rent every day I ended day 9 with over $120 in savings.

The greatest strenght is in it's immersion. The monotony and the attention you have to feed to do your job right just makes it so addictive and fun to play.

editing is hard
This game is awesome.
Takes a concept that no one would ever think would make for a fun experience, and somehow turn it into something that's not only playable but fun and has a lot of depth. Will purchase day 1 when it releases.
It may get some flak for how quickly it was modded into a Nazi Germany simulator though :v:
The thing that gets me is how it gives you those two free "mistakes" a day. It lets you make that decision whether or not to let that mother with a dying child through, or the wife without a passport, or even the Cobrastanian. That's what really makes it for me.
This game reminds me of a short story I read in school a while ago, about a guy whose girlfriend moves out of the country, and in order to make sure the letters he's getting are the truth, he becomes a government censor for mail, but ends up becoming part of the machine and censoring even his own and his girlfriend's letters once they arrive. I think he might end up killing himself in the end, once he realizes. It was fucking brutal. If anyone knows what story I'm talking about, I'd appreciate the title.
So i did things

Is there any particular way of detaining the murderer that comes by your checkpoint? I couldn't think of any real ways of finding discrepancies.

the censors by luisa valenzuela?
also iirc he's talking about making it a more chance based system, because if they are able to flag you for doing something incorrectly it means they don't really need you
