Glory to Arstotzka. -- Hsjdhjabdjd, 2024-12-28 ### ****- "Faithful Port" 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. -- shelbeeray, 2024-12-23 ### *---- "Worst game ever" Mind numbing -- Murder Hornets, 2024-11-01 ### ****- "Display mode" I love the game but i need to play it on horizontal mode on ipad PLZZZZ -- Doomzer, 2024-09-24 ### ****- "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. -- K200118, 2024-07-11 ### ***** "Love!" Well worth the money! Super fun and unique. -- jessicaeaston, 2023-12-18 ### ***** "Great game" Wonderful game comrade -- Matty__J, 2023-08-18 ### *---- "Pretentious and boring" 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. -- AntoineDdeM, 2023-08-10 ### ***** "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. -- Alejandrone, 2023-05-18 ### ***-- "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 -- riconaranjo, 2023-04-10 ### ***-- "No Audio" I love the game but no matter what I try the audio for this game does not work. No music. No sfx. -- Appleuser12890, 2023-03-21 ### *---- "The red guy" I’ve been waiting a while and re-loaded it like 20 times I don’t know how to get past him. Should I just wait -- Lestat L, 2022-12-29 ### ***** "Exactly what I wanted" It’s Papers, Please for iPhone with a very competent port. -- Dude_seriously_just_stop, 2022-12-24 ### **--- "No sound" Please help, I found this game from someone doing a live on TikTok, and she had sound, I turned my sound up, checked the game settings and nothings working, my sound works on other games and apps, just not this one, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling….nothing, even restarted my iPad….nothing… -- sound...., 2022-12-10 ### ***** "Good of fun" An amazing game. I’ve been having a lot of fun with this one. It’s a good way to kill some time. -- hinesdc, 2022-12-09 ### ***** "Love the game but please bring widescreen support" I love the game but I has to be in vertical view which makes it hard to play since I have to keep the iPad with my hands instead of using the Magic Keyboard case -- serdar_dindar, 2022-12-02 ### ***** "Brilliant" New, original, refreshing game. Very immersive, very addictive. -- Erich5344, 2022-12-01 ### *---- "Interrogation Broken" I’ve found the matching data, there is absolutely nothing you can click on to get ride of the guy with no papers. It needs to be updated. I should have read the reviews and seen that it has been broken for ages. The person saying otherwise must be smoking crack or a bot. Don’t buy waste of money. -- Chewbalka, 2022-09-27 ### ***** "Cannot recommended enough!" This fabulous game is easily worth the cost upfront and puts other mobile games to absolute shame when it comes to actually being entertaining, interesting and challenging!! -- The Canadian Hydra, 2022-09-04 ### ***** "Amazing" This game is the greatest game for mobile I’m very thankful it came to mobile -- TIKTOK MORE LIKE GARBAGE, 2022-08-30 [View all Papers reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Papers Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Czechia | Games | #12 | | Top Paid | Ireland | Games | #13 | | Top Paid | Australia | Games | #16 | | Top Paid | Spain | Games | #16 | | Top Paid | Argentina | Games | #17 | | Top Paid | United Kingdom | Games | #19 | | Top Paid | Italy | Games | #21 | | Top Paid | Switzerland | Games | #32 | | Top Paid | France | Games | #33 | | Top Paid | Azerbaijan | Games | #34 | | Top Paid | Vietnam | Games | #34 | | Top Paid | Brazil | Games | #37 | | Top Paid | Sweden | Games | #37 | | Top Paid | Norway | Games | #39 | | Top Paid | Denmark | Games | #39 | | Top Paid | Ecuador | Games | #43 | | Top Paid | South Korea | Games | #45 | | Top Paid | United States | Games | #47 | | Top Paid | Netherlands | Games | #47 | | Top Paid | Poland | Games | #48 | | Top Paid | Germany | Games | #48 | | Top Paid | United Arab Emirates | Games | #49 | | Top Paid | Colombia | Games | #49 | | Top Paid | Mexico | Games | #49 | | Top Paid | Chile | Games | #49 | | Top Paid | Canada | Games | #49 | | Top Paid | Romania | Games | #50 | | Top Paid | New Zealand | Games | #59 | | Top Paid | Japan | Games | #66 | | Top Paid | Portugal | Games | #70 | | Top Paid | Indonesia | Games | #71 | | Top Paid | Dominican Republic | Games | #71 | | Top Paid | Saudi Arabia | Games | #79 | | Top Paid | Singapore | Games | #88 | | Top Paid | Ukraine | Games | #97 | | Top Paid | Türkiye | Games | #103 | | Top Paid | Kazakhstan | Games | #107 | | Top Paid | Finland | Games | #107 | | Top Paid | Belarus | Games | #116 | | Top Paid | Russia | Games | #125 | | Top Paid | Peru | Games | #142 | | Top Paid | Philippines | Games | #152 | | Top Paid | Pakistan | Games | #155 | | Top Paid | Egypt | Games | #160 | | Top Paid | Israel | Games | #165 | | Top Paid | Hungary | Games | #167 | | Top Paid | Belgium | Games | #183 | | Top Paid | India | Games | #186 | | Top Paid | Austria | Games | #204 | | Top Paid | Malaysia | Games | #236 | | Top Paid | Algeria | Games | #240 | | Top Paid | Taiwan | Games | #260 | | Top Paid | Thailand | Games | #272 | | Top Paid | Greece | Games | #274 | | Top Paid | Nigeria | Games | #279 | | Top Paid | South Africa | Games | #289 | | Top Paid | Kuwait | Games | #333 | | Top Paid | Hong Kong SAR China | Games | #361 | ## Papers Discovered Keywords - please - passport game - papers - paper please - papers please ## Apps Similar to Papers - [Plague Inc.](https://apptail.io/app/plague-inc-hpc/canada) - [Pocket Build](https://apptail.io/app/pocket-build-ffn/canada) - [Stardew Valley](https://apptail.io/app/stardew-valley-Wkp/canada) - [Tiny Space Program](https://apptail.io/app/tiny-space-program-Kdy/canada) - [Reigns: Three Kingdoms](https://apptail.io/app/reigns-three-kingdoms-ssD/canada) - [Mini Metro](https://apptail.io/app/mini-metro-ERN/canada) - [Rebel Inc.](https://apptail.io/app/rebel-inc-juGc/canada) - [Townscaper](https://apptail.io/app/townscaper-kmZd/canada) - [60 Seconds!
