very story rich and GLORY TO ARTSOSTZKA
I wish there was an achievement for getting all the endings
Игра чересчур переоценена. В своём жанре она является самой популярной, но абсолютно все игры подобного жанра невероятно скучны из-за самой концепции. Просто сидишь, проверяешь подлинность документов, решаешь что делать с человеком, и так по-кругу до конца дня. И так продолжается целый месяц. Я от подобной рутины в реальной жизни итак по горло сыт, а тут мне ещё и в игре предлагают этим заняться в качестве "удовольствия от геймплея".
Very good and fun game. Gameplay is honestly addicting. Used to watch it on YT until I got it myself, it's even better when playing myself.
What's that? All your papers are in order? Well, ♥♥♥♥ you anyway. Denied, and glory to Arstotzka.

Congratulations, comerade. With this game you can experience a fantasy of working an intelectually demanding job for a low pay while making people's lives miserable.
Contraband police so much better this games never worth getting in 2026, amazing game still tho 6.5/10
One of the best simplest games! At the end of the day you always have to work at the border, but this game makes it so much interesting. It transforms a repetitive, bureaucratic job into a gripping puzzle of logic, morality, and survival. Every document check feels like a high-stakes decision where your family's fate is on the line. A masterclass in minimalist design that stays with you long after the shift ends. Glory to Arstotzka!
You barely make money to pay rent. Your wife is hungry. Your son got cold. Your niece disappeared. You never see them, but you can't let them down. Glory to Arstotzka! I actually stressed way more than expected and I think I've got traumatized from the sound of M.O.A. citation being printed. The immersion hits from the first second with the incredible soundtrack, the gameplay makes you feel the routine and the stakes, progression slowly presents new pitfalls and expands the narrative. Execution of the pacing and feeling are brilliant. Wish played it sooner.
