A "Papers, please"-esque game, which is also set in a dystopian state with a government that see it's people like individual cogs in a great machine for the greater good. The greater good being "the normality of the mind". Where in papers, please you deal with the bureaucracy of a state with ever changeing directives for you to remember and follow with continues small exceptions to also have in mind, thus being a game of memory and speed. This game is more about minigames, here you get to decide if a person is sane or insane depending on if they are against the state, feeling like they are on a different planet, are an abusive father or a leader of some obscure sect. Depending of your, the good doctor, mind read and diagnosis you later get to try to remove each persons affliction by doing the different minigames. Through out the game you get to upgrade and get different equipment or pills to assist you in your treatment of the mind. I really appreciated this version of a desk based bureaucrat, where not having to memorize the game rules gives it way more avaliability for any player with difficulty in this region. Allowing everybody to experience the dystopian state of the Structure. Also, the game has about 9 different endings to experience depening on your decisions in the game. Choice matter.

H O L Y S H I T This game knows how to pull at your heartstrings with it's endings! Even if the main gameplay loop is a bit dull, each character has its own little charm, and thought out dialouge for what you do with them! Even their friends and family react! However, on the topic of the dull gameplay, difficulty in the game isn't very interesting, with higher difficulties only adjusting numbers like insanity points and tax rates, and the general game feeling repetitive for its length. But overall, I think this game makes up for it with all the different paths and ways to do things! Hidden gem with its story and charming characters, even if at times gameplay can feel dull. 9/10 for me, but not for you if you mainly play for gameplay.

Rather short, but good. Either the game play will click for you as you zone out and just hit that post dad game vibe, or it absolutely won't. In the same style of games of papers please, but not the same genre, or pace. Give it a shot, or don't. I'm not your mum.

Enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Very interesting world and gameplay that not only stressed me out a bit, but also made me feel like a Blade Runner giving a Voight-Kampff test.

If you liked Papers please and Don't feed the monkeys you will like this game. For me it was a bit annoying to do the mini games to cure the people, but i still enjoyed them.
