The trailer for Papers, Please, Lucas Pope's game about working as a border inspector in the fictional state of Arstotzka. It shows the document-checking gameplay and the game's bleak bureaucratic setting.
HN people use it as an example of a dystopian game whose oppression comes from monotonous bureaucratic process, and of a one-person game that found its audience.
“I think "Papers, Please" is possibly the best take on a dystopian game.”
