I ate my passport at the border
Papers, Please is a typical representative of the indie sphere. This is a very monotonous and stressful game, like any work related to documentation. In this game you will not be the hero and you will never go on a long journey there and back. I’ll tell you more, you won’t even leave your cramped booth. Believe me, you have never paid as much attention to documents in real life as you will have to in this game.
You are a nobody, a full-time employee, with an apartment allotted for your class. Problems at work turn into problems at home. Your family needs medicine and money for food. In all this there is a reflection of our offices, working for pennies to provide for ourselves and our families.
But, as in life, you have the opportunity to change everything. If you are careful, in some places you will be deceitful and cruel, but be extremely careful, because passports drawn on your knee are not your main problem.
