How it feels

You methodically inspect robot documents in a cramped booth, balancing bureaucratic tedium with the lurking tension of making a costly mistake.

What players say

Players praise the core loop of inspecting robots at a border checkpoint, calling it a VR take on Papers, Please, but a huge number of them say the game is ruined by long, unskippable dialogue that drowns out the actual gameplay. Many wish for an endless mode and note the game is short with little replay value.
