Security 51

The Gameplay loop is good, but so far the story has me wanting for more. The theming, and the style is there. I think it just needs one more thing to make the loop of the day really pop. I was excited because I adored the gameplay of the last gas station and the story. The game is good, if you like papers please you'll enjoy it. I really love the whole containment and elevator stuff, and the city investigation. There's a but, though. But. I do have to mention some flaws. For one: the game takes control of your camera every time a new person arrives, and when certain actions are. And a lot of the upgrades I've seen so far have been...largely unessecary. They're just simple 'increase the radius' or 'speed up x task' things. I feel like there's not enough room on the desk, and I keep having items pop back to their old spots when trying to access an item underneath. Especially when you have the camera open, which you want open because you need it every 10 seconds or so. The stamping of the approve/deny feels somewhat clunky, and the radius of what it will accept needs to be bigger. It's the fact it prevents you stamping if it's too high, or if there's a document underneath. I get why that might be an issue, but at the same time there's just so little space. I also feel like there's a lot of localization issues. Take one day where you need to arrest anyone with 'packaged liver'. You'd think that would mean the medical report would read that. But the medical report reads things like 'baggie liver'. (Package means 'inside a container' sure. But it normally refers to boxes or parcels, not clear bags) I also spotted a spelling mistake in one of the containment/city reports. Then there's the camera. It feels like the field of view is too narrow, and you can't really capture the fancy anomolies and really get a good look at them. These aren't big issues, really. But they affect the game feel, and will make the game less approachable to a newcommer. I think the game just needed a little more playtesting, and maybe some more unique items in the store. I do love the red panda figurine, and I want to save up for it. But the benefit it provides, so far, doesn't seem that useful. Sure sanity is an issue, but the game isn't papers please difficult. Long story short: the game's style, and gameplay loop is really solid. It's just got a few minor issues that make it less approachable and more tedious in some areas.
