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.

A game like no other

Enthralling and unique. Glory to Arstotzka.

I’ve never been comfortable playing this game because it Is too much like reality for many people around the world. I actually feel guilty and wonder how people could do this job and live with themselves. OR feel there is no other choice to survive or provide/protect your family. Maybe my life has been too privileged… there’s another “game” where you play the role of an apartment building manager. I couldn’t play that one either. I hope I never need to make these choices in real life.

Worst game ever

I love the game but i need to play it on horizontal mode on ipad PLZZZZ

Very fun but endless mode could use some work

The story line part of this game is amazingly thought out! There’s a lot of interesting little stories and the fact that it can end multiple ways is very cool. The only criticism I have is that in the endless mode timed section, it makes no sense why the animations for scanning, fingerprinting, and detaining are still there. They actually waste a lot of time. All of them should have an added time, not just detaining.

Love!

Great game

Wonderful game comrade

Pretentious and boring

AntoineDdeM on

Game reviewers have become too pretentious. I bought this game because it had received so many prizes and accolades. And I thought it would be like « A dark room » (masterpiece!) beginning simply and evolving into something else, something fascinating and thrilling. but no. It is JUST looking at passports! That’s the game! Not worth playing even if it were free. And I played for a few hours in the hope that something would happen. There were bombs and a few minor plot twists, but nothing interesting. Nothing fun. Games need to be fun, not just wastes of time! But it has that cool, stylized cold world vibe, and like most games that reviewers like these days, it is all style, without any substance and no gameplay to speak of. I think it may be because reviewers are no longer gamers. They just write about games and don’t actually play them.

This game is a BLAST!

I’ve seen people like Jacksepticeye and Markiplier play this game years ago. Figured I should get it on my phone, the functionality on mobile is amazing! Get this game if you want a fun game on the go.

only supports portrait orientation

why doesn’t this support landscape mode?? clearly the game was made for landscape mode on PC / macOS… makes it a pain to play on ipad with magic keyboard case
