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.

## Papers Reviews in United States

### ***** "Can’t believe I waited 11 years to play this."
I’ve seen it a thousand times in the AppStore but wasn’t at all interested. Finally I purchased it last week thinking I’d probably just wasted $4.99. Was I ever wrong. I freaking love this game!!  I should not have waited 11 years but I am having a grand time now.
-- DavidDepape, 2024-12-29

### ***** "One of the best game I’ve played"
There’s 20 endings and each does a good job at what it tries to accomplish. The gameplay is surprisingly not repetitive and it’s a great life sim. 10/10
-- oh im coooool, 2024-11-28

### ***-- "Landscape Mode PLS!!!!"
Please allow that on iPad! I have a horizontal stank and it module make it easier and more fun!
-- Film Score Nerd, 2024-11-11

### ***** "Amazing"
This game is a masterpiece, I never get bored playing it, the ending are kinda the same but I still love it, the multitasking is hard but as you play more it gets easier, 10/10 game.
-- isuckatfpsgames, 2024-10-13

### ***** "Great game"
Well paced, very interesting! Classic offline gaming.
-- Orion_808, 2024-09-29

### ***** "Obsessed"
Best money I’ve spent in a mobile game. I love this game! I’ve spent hours on it and never get bored. I wish the stories were longer, but, I still love it. The creator did an excellent job! Any more games like this? I need more!!!!!!

*Glory to Arstotska!!!*
-- gigngrin, 2024-09-25

### ****- "Great game, missing feature"
The game is great, but for iPad it needs a landscape mode.
-- Vertabreaker, 2024-09-11

### ***** "amazing, minus one tiny thing"
absolutely love this game. beat it several times on PC and love that i can now play endless on mobile. the only thing keeping me from rating 5 stars is that i can’t seem to find a way to save progress in endless. i usually keep very long streaks that last for days on PC, but on mobile this isn’t possible because the app doesn’t save progress if it’s closed (even if still running in the background).
-- clynzzz, 2024-09-02

### ****- "Great game but needs landscape mode."
Like others have said, would be much more comfortable to play on iPad if it had landscape mode, other than that no complaints.
-- Rourke2112, 2024-08-31

### ***** "Suggested update"
Love them game I spend hours on it, it would be nice though to not have to swipe to get to the book from the passport or if you can turn your phone to the side and be able to stack the passports on the book like in the computer version, being able to stack on top of the book I find makes checking information faster so you get through more people and easier to check information.
