Welcome to the mind of the frontline bureaucrat!

Yes, you're repeatedly reviewing documents, but it's strangely addictive... and enlightening.

Do you callously do your job without regard for the person in front of you, or do you use what little power you have to show kindness to the poor disenfranchised soul? What will you do in the face of conflicting imperatives? Will you put your own safety and well-being above that of your countrymen… or even your family?

Sometimes depressing. Sometimes monotonous. Always thought provoking. Papers, Please is an impressive accomplishment in gameplay and storytelling.
