Papers please review

In Soviet Russia, game plays you. This and many other words including, but not limited to "Fuck", is how one would describe Papers Please.

Staplers Please is an indie game available on Steam made by some Russian guys rushing to make an extremely Russian game about a man rushing to save his family, rushing through his job making decisions in a rush. In Russia.\

Here is a picture of Rush

A friend of mine asked me what I would classify this game as. I almost said "Puzzle" but that would make me a liar. Really I'd can't call it any genre. There's terrorism and explosions, suicide bombers, human traficking rings, drug peddlers, corrupt businessmen, so I could call it an adventure right? Well, as exciting as this sounds, it's all going on in the background and has little to almost nothing to do with you directly. You basically sit at the border gate and read passports and either accept or deny people like some kind of existential deity with a depressing life. 

The best way to describe it is a paperwork em up. But you can also have family members die if you don't pay for food or medicine or to not be blown up by a terrorist. So a depression em up? 

Despite what I said, Eat Your Peas is quite the immersive game. The paperwork and checking for discrepencies and sending them to their deaths to look after you and yours leaves you with a sense of guilt that keeps you coming back for more, because you like that, don't you bitch?

I highly recommend The Seven Seas, because not only is it immersive and the gameplay makes you feel like Sherlock Holmes, the story going on around you is very interesting, full of intrigue and mystery and lots and lots of prostitution. Like Russia itself. (Not racist)
