You have a rulebook that you can click and drag onto your desk. The major controls are just mouse clicks and drags. It is a lot of information you need to look over. Eventually, forgeries will happen that will force you to see correct official seals are there. You’ll see the issuing city that you’ll need to check your rulebook to see if its really an issuing city, a gender that you’ll get to search their gender even if it looks like a woman, they could be a man, detain people with contraband, question identities and fingerprint them, look at the date of entry vs the expiration date of their passport, look at when their work permit says they’ll leave vs how long they told you they’ll be in the country vs what they told you. Then opening the borders to everyone with a ticket, then people need a permit, then a work permit for those working and an ID for your own citizens. The game first starts out by only letting your own citizens back into your country. Later in the game, you will unlock things such as searching people and finger printing them.Įach day will have a new issue that you need to check for. If you find anything questionable, you can have the game check for dependencies, by clicking on two specific things, such as their photo doesn’t match their face and then ask them about it. After you look over everything, you will either approve or deny them. Reading to what the people say vs what is in the information. You’ll look over permits, IDs and passports. Bluntly stated, ‘Papers, Please’ is a job simulator that has you checking for discrepancies between information.

Welcome to Arstotzka, a country that has recently opened its border after a war with Kolechia and thanks to the labor lottery, you are the newest immigration inspector in this tumultuous region.
