Although the beta version only goes up to the ninth day there are hints of a larger conspiracy that you could possibly become involved in, and you’re actions on one day may affect the next. A fugitive murderer is reported in the morning paper and may sneak through customs. A man and wife arrive but after you’ve cleared him you find that she’s not permitted to pass. You may have a girl slip you a note warning you that her abusive pimp is in the line behind her and begs you to help her. Whilst it may sound repetitive there’s plenty of clever ideas that keep things interesting. Unless you have a perfect run it isn’t long before you are choosing between heat or medicine. To close out the day you have to decide what to spend your money on to support your family. You get paid at the end of the day based on the number of visas you have processed, with penalties applied to giving or denying access to the wrong people.
Make a papers please passport full#
Before long you’re cross-checking passports with work permits, looking for signs of forgery, trying to spot incorrect information and breaking out the full body scan to seek out contraband. Political events shape each day, which begins with a newspaper explaining the changes to border policy. What begins as a simple set-up – checking each passport to make sure they aren’t foreigners – quickly builds into something far more involved and complex. The game is divided up into days, each of which requires you to process a set number of people. Basically if you enjoy something like Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney but could do without all the bullshit then you should be looking into this work in progress.
The game is, at heart, a puzzle game that requires a close attention to details. Or even having them detained, which is also in your power.
You’ve got the job of checking everyone’s passports and papers and granting them entry or sending them away. You’re a citizen who lives in a fictional Eastern Bloc country whose borders are open for the first time in six years. What are we today? A cyborg ninja zombie cat? One of the many variations thereof? No, we’re a customs official on border patrol. Oh look… another indie game with retro graphics.
