Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
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): 8.71/day in the week to Aug 10 → 23.43/day in the week after.
Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
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.

Слава Арстотцке!
Glory to Arstotzka!
One of my favorite games ever. I think it really set a new type of game in place. There's so many games out there now about scanning details and memorizing rules to watch out for and deducting one type of person from another. And I've always heard it compared to this, this game really had phenomenally unique and fun gameplay. Along with that, other games that have attempted the same thing, don't have as interesting of a story. I was so immersed with what was actually going on at the border, and with the regulars coming to the border, or with the mini side plots you encountered and had to make a choice. I could not recommend a better game for something with this kind of gameplay.

Good game, not for kids
This game is very enjoyable, even after all 13 years of its existence. With a very simple concept that scales really well in difficulty, it keeps the game fun and challenging. While it does get repetitive, the 20 different endings give you something to work toward.
J’ai découvert Papers, Please grâce à YouTube, et après avoir vu des vidéos du jeu, j’ai eu envie de l’essayer à mon tour. Et franchement, je ne regrette pas ! Le concept est assez simple, mais particulièrement efficace : contrôler les documents des personnes qui se présentent à la frontière et prendre les bonnes décisions. Et comme j’aime beaucoup les jeux qui demandent d’être méthodique, attentif et de suivre une certaine logique, j’ai vraiment apprécié le gameplay. L’ambiance et les graphismes sont assez particuliers. Ce n’est personnellement pas forcément ma direction artistique préférée, mais elle donne au jeu une véritable identité et colle parfaitement à son univers. La bande son est génial haha avec ses quatre notes graves, elle m'est restée en tête. J’ai également réussi à terminer le jeu à 100 %, et ça, c’est toujours un énorme point positif pour moi ! J’ai passé de très bons moments sur Papers, Please, entre concentration, vérification de documents et petites erreurs qui peuvent parfois nous coûter cher. 😅 Même plusieurs années après y avoir joué, je garde un très bon souvenir de cette expérience. Un concept original, un gameplay qui change de l’ordinaire et un jeu parfaitement adapté à ceux qui aiment être minutieux. Je valide fort ! 🛂
One of the most unique and coolest games I've ever played. It didn't click with me immediately, but when it did, it really left an impression on me.
