The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Jul 30 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

The game is okay but the yapping to playing ratio is horrendous, 5 minutes of game-play to 15 of yammering. Genuine case of less is more as 'funny' lines are followed up by 3-4 lines beating the 'joke' to death. In conclusion add a skip button.
After a number of poor and mediocre VR games, this one finally was worth playing. It is well polished and fun to play. I got almost 8 hours of playtime but some of that was due to quitting and restarting a level as I wanted to get a better run. There really isn't much replay value but if you want different endings, I guess there is that. The "job" of checking robots starts really simple and then gets much more complex later on. The one that always got me was the illegal robot mods. I typically found those hard to spot. The drones and mice in the later game really make it difficult to keep pace. The graphics are wonderfully colorful and fun. The voice acting is good for the most part with some of the robots blathering on a bit too long. The music selection was not really to my liking and I couldn't figure out how to play songs I picked from the shop. The songs appeared and I put them in the "radio" but they didn't seem selectable. No biggie since I was way to busy with the check point to even really listen to the music. The game could really use an endless or arcade mode. There is a certain desire to keep checking robots even after the main story ends. Just when you finally get into the groove of things, the game is over. It is too bad the developers left this option out. I would have played for at least a few more hours doing the "job". Oh well.

"papers, please" in vr. need endless mode btw
ちょっと説明不足だったり嫌なキャラが出てきたりして不愉快になることはある。 でもそんなことは問題じゃない。 ロボットだ。ロボットがかわいい。 家にいるお手伝いロボ!施設にやってくるロボ!いろんなロボ!! 感情を持ったロボと交流する気分をVRで味わいたいなら、買って損はないのではないでしょうか。 設定周りも細かく変えられるからまあまあ快適(欲を言えば細かい目線の高さ調整をさせてほしいけど…)
That was a great game! At first glance I thought it would be arcadey with missions but I was wrong. I took me just about 10 hours to fully complete though some of that time was spent goofing around with the different mechanics available. I was excited to see how they implemented VR controls and the detail that went into setting up the world, it really made you feel immersed throughout the gameplay. There are so many VR games at the same price point or higher that don't have anywhere near the attention to detail or even functioning stories so I was thrilled that this was packed with all that at a great price. My only regret was not getting around to play it until now.
This is honestly just such a cute and fun game. I picked it up on a whim, but it's hilarious. I had a lot of fun on the first run so far. I am definitely on board with this. Cant wait to play more of it. It's basicly VR Paper's Please that is full of robots. They definitely got me a few times. 10/10. This would be a streamer's dream game to play.
OMFG CAN THEY STOP YAPPING FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
I fully expected it to be very hand holdy and more of like a simplified cutsy vr experience that mostly focused on quirky robots, But instead I got a challenging and intense border inspection game that rivals any flatscreen one that is further enhanced by it being in VR *AND* a focus on Quirky robots! The fact that this is the only Papers Please/Border inspection game in VR (that I could find) is honestly a crime, Yet being the only one doesn't stop it from being the best one.
Security shutters were not doing much security-ing when the big scary mafiabot casually pushed them open... 10/10 would set robots on fire again
