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.

Hours of stamping fun!

Been meaning to try this game out for years, decided to take the plunge and buy it today. Was looking for a new iPhone game to kill 5/10 minutes when I was bored yet there I was engrossed 2 hours later! As an FYI to the dev team some text is hidden behind Dynamic Island on iOS 18.2 (iPhone 16)

Great game and very entertaining. I just wish for the price the story was longer. I completed it in a day. I’m not a fan of the endless mode so I’d love it if you kept adding to the story please.

To everyone that says Day 3 is bugged

You encountered Jorji Costava, who does not have a passport. You will need to let him in on day 4, where he has a passport from Cobrastan. Other than that it’s a great game later on, especially with the ability to shoot terrorists with a sniper rifle & the defusal of a poorly made bomb. 5/5 will do it all again

Such a Good Game!

You wouldn’t think that an Authoritarian Bureaucracy Passport Stamping simulator would be thrilling game but you would be wrong! Papers Please is a great game and even though it has simple graphics and gameplay it really captures the feeling of working for a Soviet style Bureaucracy where the authorities constantly change the rules, you can barely make ends meet so bribery seems like the only option and one wrong move could lead to you being jailed or executed. I highly recommend this great game!

Absolutely worth the money

I’ve had just under ten hours play time from two playthroughs and I’ve enjoyed every second. Design is great, hidden tokens are fun to find and the setting is immersive. Really great fun for fans of political sims and history. G’wannnnnn. Buy it.

Incredibly thoughtful Mobile Port

Lucas Pope has a developer blog post about moving this game over to mobile, and the passion really shows through the gameplay. Genuinely is my favourite version of the game now. Endless mode is great for commutes/work breaks. If you’ve never heard of the game before, then super quick- it’s one of the most influential indie games ever made. You miss nothing playing this version on mobile versus PC. To quote Pope “same meal, different plate”.
