WTF is with all the "Papers, Please, but without the dystopia" games? Like... the dystopia is the point. The surveillance state and all the horrible shit it forces upon you is THE POINT.

If you're playing a "Papers, Please" clone and it's in any way cheerful or cozy, you're basically playing fascist propaganda. Pressing a button to "send someone away" because of they failed a paperwork check should never feel fun or silly.

It should feel bad. Every time.

as a game, where's the fun if there's no dystopia?? hello i would like to revise paperwork for discrepancies for fun in my free time and for it to not have any interesting effects on the society around me
