Most gamers have no idea what it may be like to uphold a nation’s strict immigration policies, but I feel like I have an inkling having played indie developer Lucas Pope’s eccentric and engrossing Papers, Please. The fourth part saves all the best traditions of three previous ones, but includes some new cool features, conditions, and decision options.National security is a touchy subject, especially considering the lines some countries walk between privacy and protection. Do your best and keep the undesired subjects away. If you do mistakes too often, you can lose the job and your country will be under a great danger, which is the last thing you want. The idea of the game stays the same – you are here to prevent enemies from entering your country and you have no right for a mistake. What is more, more types of documents and new rules will appear, so make sure to track all the in-game changes and additional recommendations very carefully. The forth part has more possible endings that all depend on your decisions. Yes, the work of a border inspector is a challenge and not always a pleasure. They won’t tell you a thing that easily, so get ready to unfold your instruments and even torture them to get the answers. Also, the spies and political enemies of your country may have some secret data and of course – you need to know more about them, their aims, and people who send them to your native country. For example, obvious villains that carry cocaine or guns hidden must go to the jail and you will have to catch them and transfer to the police. However, in the hardest cases of the criminal deeds, you will have to do more radical actions. Some will be placed on the papers of a person who cannot enter the country. They rarely show their real selves that easy, so you will have to try hard before making a decision. Under these clothes and inside of these bags everything can be! It is never an obvious thing – if a person in front of you is a criminal or a simple man or woman. Keep your eye on every traveler, see his/her documents, and check luggage as well as clothes.

In the fourth part, distinguishing them is even harder than it was before. Some of them are enemies, the others are not. You sit in your office, accepting people who are trying to cross the border. The idea of the game stays the same as it was in three previous parts of the game.

His duty is complicated and extremely important and the entire country is counting on him.
