Об игре
Поздравляем!Подведены итоги октябрьской лотереи рабочих мест! Вы - победитель!
Немедленно обратитесь в Министерство въезда на пропускном пункте Грештин, чтобы вступить в должность.
Вашей семье будет предоставлена квартира в Восточном Грештине, в жилом доме 8 класса.
Слава Арстотцке!
Война между коммунистической Астотцкой и соседней Колечией, длившаяся шесть лет, только что закончилась, и в результате Арстотцка сумела вернуть себе принадлежащую ей по праву половину пограничного города Грештина.
Вы - инспектор иммиграционной службы, ваша задача - контролировать поток лиц, въезжающих в Арстотцку из Колечии через Грештин. Среди толп иммигрантов, надеющихся найти в стране работу, и прочих визитеров скрываются контрабандисты, шпионы и террористы.
В вашем распоряжении есть только документы, предоставляемые въезжающими, и незатейливые системы проверки, досмотра и снятия отпечатков пальцев, установленные Министерством въезда. С этим небогатым арсеналом вам предстоит решать, кого можно впустить в Арстотцку, кому следует отказать, а кто подлежит аресту.

This game R U L E S! It's good for people who don't have a strong computer. It has a great story for just being a game about working as a border inspector. The trope of new rules is amazing and the interactions with the characters are cool. Simple, easy but enjoyable game. 10/10!
I bought it because I heard of many positive things about the game, and it did not disappoint me.
Although the graphics or the art are not to your taste, I would say that you should give it a chance, and the art is actually unique and great.
The gameplay itself is quite simple, and the game explains it to you well. It slowly introduces you to new mechanics, increasing the difficulty as the game progresses. Basically, it adds more things that you needed to inspect or observe as a border inspector.
Personally, though, I think the best aspect of this game is, of course, the story. The story branches out quite a lot, and there are many endings. And I love how it questions my moral compass (turns out being a goody two shoes does not always end well.)
Overall, it is an excellent game, as they said, and a memorable one too. As an achievement hunter, it is an enjoyable experience to collect all of them.
Glory to Arstotzka!
Very fun and exciting, gets you to use your brain. Focusing on different things at once makes you stress about getting something wrong but overall very very fun
i played this game for like five hours in 2013 and then never again. I have very fond memories even though it was just a single saturday afternoon over a decade ago.
"cosy" game about bureaucracy where my neighbours snitched on me for accepting a bribe and my entire family died cold and hungry. 10/10 would recommend
Classic short game, at its time its a unique game especially for it being an indie game that is able to attract large content creators at that time?
Does it hold up to this day, especially from its hype? Absolutely.
You can choose to be careful or rush them out, risking losing potential profit in either ways like out of time, a border attack, or a citation. Any playstyle works, although once you found out which days are scripted and which are not, one can plan ahead.
Managing your family is simple, you starve them for one day or leave them with no heat. Great if you are low in cash or actively pursuing an apartment related achievement.
My experience? Once you unlock the Snifer RIfle and go guns blazing against the crowd, or poison the target and deny him, causing many immigrants to die in the process, ensuing a mass panic.
20 endings to discover, 3 related to the achievements. Overall the game is very good especially for its replayabillity. You can do endless mode once you accomplish the main ending of the game.
One of the best games ever created. Replayed so many times, and still return often
Good fun! At this point I can tell every issuing city and where it is located in the game by heart. I don't know if it is a good or a bad thing. Eather way a good game and a must play.
I found it through Jacksepticeye. Oh my goodness, such a good game. It eases you into the mechanics, until in the final few days of the campaign, you're having to check half a dozen different things, but they all make sense to you, because they were drip fed to you. Very fun, very enjoyable, and Glory to Arstotzka!
Very cool, definitely unique, but the later days are too hard for me. I think I handle the game's stress wrong, but many people have an easier time. So I haven't played it that much, but I'll still recommend it.
I let a terrorist through through border then was caught helping a resistance organization and was arrested after I shot the innocent people trying to cross the border. 10/10 game would recommend.

Excellent story. Great gameplay for detail-oriented people. A bit short, but every minute is worth it.
*Papers, Please* is a brilliant indie game that puts you in the role of a border control officer in a fictional, authoritarian state. While processing travelers, you’ll face tough moral decisions and confront the human cost of bureaucracy. The game’s simple mechanics, paired with its gripping narrative, make it an intellectually stimulating and emotionally charged experience. With its minimalist art style and intense atmosphere, *Papers, Please* challenges players to think critically about power, ethics, and the consequences of their actions. A must-play for anyone looking for a game that makes you think.
A simple but fantastic adventure. The attention to detail in this game is incredible. I loved getting to experiment with the story and try out different tactics. I absolutely loved playing this game. Glory to Arstotzka 9.5/10
Who knew it would be so engaging and entertaining to be a passport control agent? Love the story and different ways you can play it. Beautifully animated and polished throughout. 10/10
In my opinion this game is such a classical masterpiece you just have to play it at least once in your lifetime. Basicly a border patrol pixel game which can get where overwhelming and immersive very quickly...
If you have attention to detail and about 10 hours of time, sit down and play this. Very simple. Builds upon its concepts. Great game, multiple endings.
Really fun puzzle game. Incredibly unique and has lots of branching paths to the story.
I really like the game, though the content can get a bit heavy - which is kinda the point. The mechanics build on top of each other in a nice way. I HIGHLY recommend getting a cheat sheet to glance at to save some time for the issuing cities though. Flipping through the manual can become tedious.
I can see why this one gained a cult following. It's an incredibly unique concept for a game and it shows a glimpse into the seemingly never-ending creative potential of the indies, however... I don't think this one is for me. I quickly became bored to the point of almost falling asleep by the repetition of checking papers ad infinitum. I suppose that's kind of the point, but it wasn't exactly a fun time.
This game is... sufficient. XD
It sounds weird but this one is a wild one! It certainly is a mix up from what we usually think of as a game, or at least it was when it came out. Still holds up, still fun.
Simple straight forward game with the added bonus of having different outcomes with it being decision driven. Makes you think about things you otherwise would not have to consider. Love it.
As close to idle gaming as you can get with attention to details.
For a pixel art game where you meticulously check documents as a immigration officer at a border checkpoint, which sounds extremely boring, this game was so fun and hilarious. I wish this game was much longer and had a lot more than the 20 or so endings.
It might not be for everyone since it requires you to pay attention, be detail-oriented and remember a whole bunch of things while the overall complexity creeps up quite a bit over time. As someone who enjoys that sort of thing, I love this game but, at the same time, I can see how it can be quite demanding/taxing for someone.
Great game if you're detail oriented and like tediousness. Only complaint is that it isn't very long if you're not a completionist. (Main ending takes 6 hours) (But there's 20 endings so if you're into that)
A masterful blend between storytelling and perpetual stress caused by an increasing workload and a depressing hellscape of the world you live in. One of the best games I have ever played, one that made me depressed yet euphoric when I made enough money to support my family.
Buy it and play it and experience Soviet-era depression, it will change you forever.
Quite fun with a great storyline. Fun trying to figure out how to have everyone survive (had uncle die as there was no way)
One of the best indie games out there, for how short the experience is, it is truly amazing how gripping the plot and characters are. The multiple endings are a nice touch as well to see how well you did or if youre being killed tomorrow. Everyone should play this game.
Very fun little game, easy to get into, but you have to be observant to succeed.
This game is very fun.I don't know in which category to put it in but it still a very good game with a good story and fun gameplay.
This has got to be the most fun i had checking papers.
Struggles with moral ambiguity and utilizing all the mechanics it introduces, but is fun enough for few hours it lasts.
Glory to Arstotzka is the only true ending.
Classic game I end up returning to every year. Gameplay loop is simple but super fun, and is tied very closely with the world. There is a variety of interesting characters to meet, all with their own stories, and the game makes it so that it isn't always obvious what the correct thing to do is, and gives you no indication whether your choice was "right". The game is also very replayable, with 20 different endings of varying uniqueness, along with collectibles for doing specific tasks in game.
really one of the pinnacles of ludonarrative harmony in games: the gameplay supports the themes - the constantly changing rules, constant state of frenzy, feeling like you're living in the state of nature - all go to forward the games' themes about autocracy and kleptocracy
10/10
I just love it so much, i wish it was getting a new content tough.
Fantastic game! Had it sitting in my library for years until I started playing it at the beginning of 2025 in an attempt to go through my Steam backlog. Boy, was I late! But I finally played it and it deserves all the praise it gets. I'm temping now to check out Lucas Pope's other games because of it.
It was pretty fun. The last day was the most stressful of the game .glory to Arstotzka
A great game. It reminds me that my mind isn't what it used to be. It's a little difficult to keep everything you need to use in front of you for easy access. It seems like if I really worked in this customs booth I would have this stuff memorized or on a poster on the wall. Heck, they even had computers back in 1982 that I could hav used to do this stuff.
A great game for those who love to organize or follow rules. The story is complex and branches into different endings. If you get tired with the story, there is an endless mode where you can do the processing as long as you like.
Loved playing it! So great what games can convey. Bit late to the party but it's still a master piece <3
One of the most unique games out there. Going for all endings was very interesting. but nothing beats you first playthrough, helping jorji always, of course.
got this game on a whim because of jacksepticeye. It is as fun as he makes it look, and man is it satisfying to my adhd brain (information overload is probably going to happen at some point tho, just a warning)
Incredible atmosphere and immersion. A very sad setting in alternate-universe eastern Europe. I started becoming prejudice towards Kolechians and spent more time scrutinising their paperwork, I memorised Arstotzka's districts and issuing cities. This wasn't an effort on my part, it just became a part of my routine as border patrol as the story unfolded.
It's a really impressive feat to make paperwork validation, an inherently mundane task, into a nail-bitingly tense and exciting gameplay loop. Love the penalty system that allows you to take bribes and reunite families in spite of the rules, if you're a perfect checkpoint charlie you can do every side-quest in the game AND not take a hit to your pay. Gives the game replay value and only adds to the tension. Easy recommend, Lucas Pope is a genius.

Great employment opportunity! Amazing workplace culture and employee benefits, would recommend for those starting out in the industry (it can only go up from here). :)
This game may seem like boring from the looks of it... but once you start playing you'd be amazed by how Lucas Pope let his magic works. This game could be challenging, and once you get the catch of it it could be addictive.
Huge fan of this game. Love how you're able to meet so many different characters (my favorite will always be Jorji of course), and that you can unlock 20 different endings. It keeps the repetitive gameplay fun and engaging for me.
Would definitely recommend!
Insanely addicting considering low res graphics and simple format. You become invested in the character
