Papers, Please
Papers, Please is a unique game which manages to wow not only with its amazing graphics and special effects, but also with the unique concept behind it. You might even call this bureaucracy simulation or, simply, a software for making offices more organized. But, in a nutshell, it is a game that takes the idea of bureaucracy and then combines it with a puzzle game. The result is one that gives the office worker and the manager alike an experience of the everyday operations that go on behind the scenes, as well as helping them work through problems on a daily basis. For most people, the idea of making a computer program is something that sounds impossible or even ridiculous. But, in Papers, Please, the concept works, and the results are surprisingly accurate. The premise is simple enough, although it is almost comical in its simplicity. You are required to complete all of the paper work in order to start a new job at your new office. There are many problems in offices, and these can range from the mundane to the seemingly impossible. Your task is to make certain that all of the paperwork has been filed correctly and that nothing is missing or incorrect. The game keeps track of all of the data that you need, and it does so without having to resort to complicated graphics, or complicated puzzles.
