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 is amazing, and Lucas Pope is hands down the best UI designer I've ever witnessed in a video game, and a top-tier writer.
Absolutely recommend. Very dystopian vibe with a bit of humour and unique gameplay. I love this game!
very good. i love this game with all my heart and getting the achievements was really fun! i like games with satisfying achievements
An outstanding concept and fantastic game.
it's an entirely unique experience on it's own, has a very unique style and vibe, and it's just overall a very addicting and fun gameplay loop. Glory to Arstotzka!
Honestly the best game in the genre. I could play for hours. Not a lot of complexity and runs great. The overwhelmingly positive reviews are not lying. 10/10
Very good game: fun, (mostly) challenging, well-written world/story, strong characters, and a shit load of detail. My only problem is that once you obtain a certain level of money (in the game), you're essentially locked in easy mode as even 3 citations a day will barely reduce your chances at winning. Other than that, great game!
never thought a game about approving fucking passports to be as fun and engaging as it is, but it is, even years after its initial release
Sabah 08:00 - Akşam 18:00 maaşlı sgklı eleman olarak çalışmak hiç bu kadar keyifli olmamıştı
A game that can prove that it's pure art!
Pretty fun to play and watch how every immigrant don't check for their documents, the story is simple but yet effective on how a simple action can affect, after finishing the story you can try the endless mode which Is way more difficult but fun to do, I expected to see some achievements related to this game mode.
Glory to Arstotzka!
the funny part is that you earn a work that in real life you should study hard and be extremly precise to get, randomly from a lottery
8/10 simple, but this is the important
Very good game,
Although not for everyone, this game offers a realistic glimpse into the life of a border inspector, forcing you to make difficult decisions, conflicting your moral code and the rules of the checkpoint. There is a myltitude of endings (20) to be achieved. One note i have is that there are not enough steam achievements, some good ones could be added, like for example: "green stamp the denial only paper", "process 15 people in a single day without any mistake" etc. Overall 8/10 would recommend.
me and my family goes into debt
goes to prison and my family is sent to prison as well
reloads save file getting job back
all family members die and im fired
Peak Fiction 10/10
Glory to Arstotzka

[th] If you wanna put your multitasking skills to the test, this game is for you! It starts simple by checking small things like the expiration date, but it gets more complicated as you progress through the story because you gotta keep an eye on more things. [/th]

[td] The game has a fun story that gets more difficult as you go, it contains multiple endings and tokens which offer a lot of replayability. It also has Endless mode which allows you to test your skills to get a high score and compete against other people via leaderboards. [/td]

The music is awesome. and its fun. uhhh. thats all i have to say lol.
Don't get me wrong, I love this game, one of my favorites of all time, however, this new engine is not working out so well for the game. I have the same specs for my pc when I first played this a while back, same processes running in the background, and it used to run smooth as butter. Now its very jittery and laggy moving my cursor because of frame lag or something. For a game that puts pressure on you with time, this hinders the performance intensively. Not a fan of the new engine if other people are experiencing this as well.
Very amazing game even in 2025 it holds up great. Time flies when playing
This game was one of the best indie games i have played in a long time
Would recommend to anyone
Played this game on and off over the years. It's strategic and thoughtful, while also compassionate. True story, I once got deported and having played this game- gave me a sense of calmness and compassion while I tried to navigate the situation. It was a clerical and filing error on my part, but I realized I would be able to have some humanity in the process.
A very good micromanagement game for people with the best kind of ADHD. one of my favorites!
Details, Details, Details!!
Easy fun play that will help pass the time quickly.
You play as a passport inspector in a dystopian communist society,its got alot of endings and you get to put whoever you want in prison.10/10
never before has it been this fun to seperate families over pappers
Glory to Arstotzka
a tragic tale of sitting at a security booth. there are some funny moments and very sad moments, but all in all, it's a very excellent game.
Literally worth every cent and every second you spend on it. Super entertaining as a game, but it's waaaay more than that: it's an encapsulated life lesson about money, work, life priorities, morals, social class, immigrant hate and corruption. IMO I'd say it's one of the best games that ever existed. Also, I love its unique pixelated visual style
The only thing I disagree with is the fact that Arstotzka is called communist. It is not. You're not supposed to work to death to provide only the basic for you and your family, that's actually capitalism lol. I was surprised with this description in the official FAQ of the game, yet I don't blame the dev though, he did a great job at framing all of the other innuendos I mentioned before, he just might be unaware of this since we're fed capitalism propaganda all the time. Nonetheless, 10/10 would definitely recommend it
Great game!
The premise is simple, mechanics are simple, the graphics are nostalgic!
the moral dilemmas the game puts you in are very well done and the progression system is great.
I love it!
This game prepared me for any task involving data management & verification. The different endings will keep you replaying the game figuring out how your choices truly matter, with a save system that allows you to go back to specific days make keep it from feeling like a pointless replay.
Amazing themes
Surprisingly good gameplay for a border checkpoint game

Had to play this for a class and it was so much fun! I loved analyzing it and seeing how much thought and effort was put into this game!
You are a checkpoint officer in communist Arstotzka.
Accept or deny entrants.
Any wrong move and your family is dead. Goodluck.
8/10. Would replay again,
a simple gameplay loop but it is executed so effectively!
the story is portrayed in such a great way and it just goes so hard
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
Love this game, well worth the money! Even though it's short, you can still have a lot of fun replaying it (not even considering the endless mode) and getting the achievements!
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
