(I have played more than it shows, just offline on Steam deck). Overall Booth is good, it's clearly very reminiscent of Papers Please with the same kinda mysterious dark dystopian undertone. If you enjoyed papers please or any game like it, you'll almost certainly enjoy this too. You're doing a fairly menial task while also trying to uncover more about the world and why you're in the situation you are. There are a couple of annoyances I've had with it, the biggest being lack of controller support. This being a smallish indie title, it seems perfect for the Steam Deck, but you have to rely on mouse control with the touchpads and it feels a bit off. You have to quickly and accurately click a lot of things and it just doesn't work great with the deck controls. It would be really nice to see some proper controller support. Also, I don't know if I just haven't played enough or I'm dumb, but sometimes when I do tasks I could absolutely swear I'm doing it correctly, I've double checked everything is correct and yet still I get a message saying the item was wrong. It's weird because on most tasks I get a high score where I only miss one or two. But then occasionally I'll do a task and get like 95% of them wrong and I really don't understand why. Maybe I'm missing something obvious but I can't work it out at all. Either way, I think Booth is a great game that (if you're not playing with a controller) is a lot of fun and definitely worth the price. I'd say it's almost as good as paper's please but not quite, but it's a definite recommend if you want more of that gameplay.

Playtime: 25.4 hrs I used to think that games like "papers please" aren't my cup of tea not because of the gameplay (coz I like this aspect very much) but because of the nature of the game, that you are deciding the fate for the characters in the game which strangely makes me feel guilty if the outcome is not good even if I know they are not real people. But I guess people change with age because now I no longer feel the guilt as much as in the past which means I get to enjoy the gameplay and the story of the game in a whole. For this game I like the gameplay, and the story is okay if not a bit predictable and old-fashioned. Also, the game makes full achievements relatively easy because you can skip the actual game play and just speed through the story for lots of the achievements.

didnt expect the story to be so gripping and draw you in.. and the choices really matter so there's replayability!

A very enjoyable, captivating game inspired by Papers Please, finished my first run in a single 8 hour sitting. If you liked Papers Please, you'll like this.

March 2024

an excellent papers please "copy" to put it in some way but id like to say something to the dev/devs if theyre even reading this papers please is beautiful because within its simplicity and lack of dialogue and lack of complex controls, it still manages to tell an emotional story. it doesnt tell, it shows. and this game definitely tells a lot more than it shows
