I really like the idea of a reversed Papers, Please game. I just wish there were more done for the game to be more creative with the theme, (though I understand it's because of time constraints. Right now it's kind of just a simple timing game. Here are a few ideas that might be interesting. Maybe you could forge passports in a certain way that you choose, but that country security will slowly go up for that certain way of forging every time. Maybe you could buy more tools for forging as the game goes on. Or try to forge the passport in a way that would fit the customer's face.

Great concept, amazing voice acting haha! It's a shame you weren't able to get all the features you wanted, 48 hours is really tough, but if you add them later I'd definitely play again!
I like the idea. Wish to have differences in passports and procedures, like different patterns for the slider
I like the idea and the art, I wish the game play is actually closer to Paper Please where you have to cross reference data for stuffs. Or really any other game play mechanics other than QTE,
Intriguing concept! You probably already got a lot of comments about this, but the gameplay could be better, the timing is always the same
Intresting... But it isn't a reversed paper please tho can be a full project you must continue it
Clever idea, really unfortunate that the game couldn't be finished in time :( Would love to play a full version where you have to input all the "correct" passport details etc.
Interesting idea. Gameplay is very basic, but level of detail is stunning. Sounds, dark room design, everything is great.
The aesthetic was very cool. The idea for the game was very amazing, and I'm disappointed that you ran out of time. I would have been excited to see the full thing. As it is now, its a neat aesthetically pleasing and relaxing counterfeiting experience.
The concept is really nice!
I tried to fail ,y passports and sometimes failing was harder that getting the right moment to push the button :D Also after three mistakes there is a picture that appears for a secondm but I cannot see it as the game immediately continues. Would be great to see polished version :)
Glory to Arstotzka!
Yes, the gameover screen is a known issue. I'm not sure what's causing it, it runs perfectly on Unity Editor, it only happens on the browser, but we noticed it to late to fix it. And about the difficulty, in the original design each combination of action/passport would have a different behavior so some would be harder than others. But we could not implement this in time.

Really cool concept, but this is too monotonous, but I still like this game! Glory to Arstotzka! ;)
A great idea and concept and the art style is loyal to papers please as well. The main issue is the gameplay. Its quite repetetive and all of the "skill check" actions have the same movement (going forward and then backwards). There wasn't much use of the map either (other than lore purposes, I guess perhaps a functionality where the people ask for a specific area passport was intended).
However, overall its still a very creative idea and with some more development, the gameplay can be made more enjoyable. Its still a good attempt given the time limit.
If possible could you check out my game? Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thank you so much for your feedback.
Yeah you got it, we definitely intended having the map and different passports because in the original design you would need to select the right passport and fail instantly if you deliver a wrong one. Alongside with this each combination of action/passport would have a different behavior, some would be harder than others. I feel very much for not being able to finish those features, but we started late and only had less than 24 hours.
Right now, I'm not able to check your game because I'm sleep deprived, but I'll look at it during the week :D
Great reproduction of the Papers Please style ! Gameplay is pretty basic and lack challenge though... What works in Papers Please is the impossibility to check everything correctly before stamping the passeport. What could be great with your game could be to have multiple choice for different elements to had to the passeport (different stamps, photos, informations, precise details) and then hoping that the combination chosen is correct for the person to cross the border.
