Many games also made full with messages whose value we can apply in the real world, and Papers, Please is a game that goes in that category. First released for Windows PC, Mac, and Linux in 2013, Papers, Please successfully become one of the best games I have played in it.
At the end of 2014 the game is back again in a slightly different form specifically for the iPad. ApakahPapers, Please The iPad is still able to present a special experience as found in the PC? Or whether this game can still attract the attention of gamers who have not had time to see the charm in the PC in 2013 ago. Find the answers in the review below.
A Simulation What's New
Concept promoted Papers, Please arguably one of the best gaming concept that never existed in the past few years. You may have often seen gamesimulasi that put you in the position of mayor, the owner of the restaurant, the wolf, the owner of the playground, or even in the position of a dictator. But have you ever imagined a specific simulation game that puts you in the life of an immigration officer in a communist country named Arstotzka fiction in the 80s. Why do I emphasize the setting that brought this game? Because of the unique background of the game is not only to build an interesting story, but also follow the existing support mechanisms diPapers gameplay, Please.
As an immigration employee, you have to check every visitor coming into your country. Do not think this is an easy job, because a lot of people who intend to enter the country Arstotzka using forged documents illegally. This is where your main task as immigration officials to make sure the data is in a variety of documents valid and in accordance with the rules in the rule book issued by the state.
This section is very demanding high accuracy. Sometimes you've checked all the documents well, but it turns out there is an error as different weight with identification card, visit different destinations between interviews with the one shown in the document, the document expiration date has passed, and many more. Although it sounds boring, but to be honest I never thought to check these documents is a very enjoyable activity.
Dissolution Mechanism Gameplay and Story
One of the things that makes Papers, Please be extraordinary game is how Lucas Pope as the developer of this game (yes, he's working on Papers, Please alone and is currently busy working on Return of the Obra Dinn own also) successfully insert elements story into the gameplay with a very neat. For example, even though you have an obligation to only include those with complete and official documents, sometimes there will be instances where a newcomer wants to get in because they have to run away from the pursuit of danger or a mother who have for years wanted to meet her and just get a chance by now.
For some cases, this game will give you a gift of its own if you are willing to break the rules to advance the humanist side of you. There are many other examples of events as I mentioned above can be found in the game, and it's all presented very well without breaking the flow of the game at all.
In addition to regulating the fate of people entering Arstotzka, you also have to set the fate of your family that could be considered sufficient to be in poverty. Performance you for becoming an immigration officer in one day will affect your daily income. This income can you distribute to pay heating, pay rent, and to buy food. Sometimes there will be instances where your child's birthday and you have to give him a gift too, or maybe it will change the status of your son.
In addition, you can also move to another class apartments that have different costs or use your income to upgrade booth to help run your job as an immigration officer.
Minimalist presentation, Adding Dramatic Impression
Visual quality is owned Papers, Please not exactly nice. Nevertheless, this game has a very distinctive graphic quality and gives a distinct impression in accordance with the theme carried. Selection of a dark color also makes gloomy atmosphere in the game so it feels inside.
Although minimalist, Papers, Please also successfully presents the horrible scenes such as a terrorist attack, or a scene that is as exciting as the couple who met after a long parting with a very slick. Not infrequently I was struck by what Papers, Please managed to convey to his players despite having a very limited scope.
In addition to the minimalist visual, audio part in this game is also not extravagant and can be fairly minimalist. Nevertheless what is to be achieved by Lucas Pope with audio diPapers, Please clear success conveyed. Starting from the main menu music in a very impressive military and quite hypnotic mind like music of The Imperial March from Star Wars, to the simple sound effects that arise during a game.
