This is, by all means, a game not just for fun. Your pay is minimal, so you'll have to be efficient in your job to guarantee an income for your household, but be careful of becoming corrupt, for there are serious consequences for thin behavior against the motherland. Keep in mind that this will be getting tougher and tougher by the day and that you only get paid by the number of papers you stamp. Working 12 Hours a day, you'll have to ask some questions and verify that everything to judge who can get through and enter the country. Yes, we are a simple government agent, our job is to place a stamp on the documents of these people, allowing them to get in, or getting them out of our country.
In Papers, Please we play as an employee in the Ministry of Immigration, and we are the ones in charge of deciding who gets in and who doesn't. You won't be fighting to defend your country, nor saving the world from an alien invasion. We live in 1982, in the imaginary communist Republic of Arstotzka, but we won't be taking into exciting missions, nor are we soldiers going to war with the equally imaginary Kolechia.
