Subject: Papers, Please: A strange combination of boring and intrigue 'Border Guard Sim'
This is a very strange game I must say. Now boring may not be the exact word, but the work you do is THE MOST MUNDANE. And yet it is strangely fascinating. I think its the emotional response that is the draw
Papers, Please is like what happens when Oregon Trail meets the Eastern European Communist Bloc as you, the border post agent, must either accept or deny people crossing the border. You have many threats including bombers and your family's needs so you better work fast and carefully! But its only in Beta so theres not too much after I think 9 days

I imagine all I would do is either deny everyone or deny everyone and accept the obvious terrorists and criminals...

One for incorrect denying entry, one for incorrect allowing entry, and one for not working hard enough. And then it glitched and game ended.
I actually keep shutting the shutters when I'm reviewing documents so I don't have the person staring at me.
I liked the "terrorist" attack.
Also, have you tried his other two games? The newspaper one had such a glorious, clichéd twist it was amazing.
