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): 2.14/day in the week to Aug 12 → 3.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.
About
Thank You for Your Application is a work simulation game themed around job interviews. Players take on the role of an interviewer at the largest company in Aeropolis City, reviewing applicants’ resumes and documents according to strict and constantly changing hiring requirements, before making decisions that may alter the course of other people’s lives.
Throughout the game, players will encounter a wide range of applicants, absurd corporate systems, ever-changing policy demands, and the company’s dark secrets gradually coming to light. Against a backdrop of dark humour and corporate drudgery, players must make choice after choice in their everyday working life.

Decide the fate of job applicants: As an interviewer, will you side with capital and the rules, or give workers the green light?
Exercise your tiny slice of corporate power: Check application documents, raise questions, make judgements — and even shock applicants with electricity.
A bleak apartment life after work: Pay your bills, browse forums, buy daily necessities, and try to keep your mental state intact.
Multiple-ending narrative: Exploring themes such as workplace discipline, the shame of unemployment, efficiency-first thinking and discrimination against outsiders, your choices will shape the direction of the story.
Screen candidates’ resumes and documents according to the company’s daily hiring requirements, then decide whether to accept or eliminate them.
Check their internship certificates. We want graduates with experience.
Check their Psychological Evaluation Report. We want employees with a stable state of mind.
Check their graduation certificate. We want students from top universities.

Remember to pay your rent on time, lest you become a homeless illegal overstayer.
Remember to keep your mental state in check. The company has no need for employees who break down.
When recruitment becomes pretend recruitment, when pretend recruitment becomes redundancy, and when redundancy finally reaches you — where are workers supposed to go?
Sums Steam only; Epic publishes no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

Reviews
对文件模拟器,经典放人触发剧情,没什么差异化,玩过类似游戏的话特别不推荐.
Tries to be Papers Please but is far too complicated. Story is hard to keep track of and mechanics have abnormal flow.
音乐不错,像素画风也好,找工作的人狠狠共情,以及,01我要嬷嬷你

不知道玩了多少,玩不下去了。 玩的时候建议开启补助金,玩起来真的好累,眼睛要瞎了,感觉真的在上班。 已经玩(工作)到昏头了,组织给的任务一次也没完成,脑子里只有:名字对不对,证件对不对,有没有少证件,图案对不对,QA有没有到要求,证件时间能不能对上,今天的录取指标是什么...还可以选择是否加班 非常努力地在挣钱,给妈妈妹妹转钱,付房租水电暂住费,精神压力大还要买消耗品减压。 [spoiler]今天这个同事没了,明天那个同事没了,已经内心毫无波澜,工作到麻木了[/spoiler] [spoiler]顺便说一下,一直加班会有猝死结局,害得我读档重新工作好几天[/spoiler]
Laaaaaaaaaameeeee. 1st walktrough will cost you only 5 hours and to get a ''true'' ending will cost you another 5 hours aka, you need to replay the game. Seems like devs tried to make you play this game longer, to not make it look like its short. I thought it would be ''Papers, please'' but more intresting and with more content, but I was wrong. Also the ''True'' ending is the most lamest endings in this game, do not spend your precious 5 hours for it. 17 euros for 5 hours gameplay? Thievery.
I work something similar lots of information and I picked up this game to get distracted because work has a lot of downtime between sudden rushes. I picked up more shifts to make more money due to medical costs but that means also more downtime. [spoiler]my character died after working 5 days of overtime [/spoiler] and I've been working overtime since I got out of the hospital (almost a year) so now I got some choices in my life that I have to make. this game made me realize that.
感觉连半成品都算不上,玩四个小时就通关,剧情啥的基本没有写好。能玩的内容很少很少
I really want to support indie devs and hate to leave negative reviews before proper play. But this game is unplayable on handheld, the controller support is awful. You need to navigate the cursor to the cross and press A to go back, instead of pressing B. And many times you cannot even find which one is supposed to be highlighted. How incompetence and disappointed that the developers don't know how controller work. Also I am using a handheld which is NOT a steam deck, the game locks resolution at 720p and not even allow you to change it. I enabled higher resolution in game scope setting and its not working. Very disappoint and I have to even wait for 5 minutes to write this review. It's a disgrace game at this state is marked Steam Deck playable. I doubt they even tested on it!!
This game will scratch that Papers, Please itch, but like others have said the story itself is not very compelling or with any consequences. I really enjoyed some of the unique elements the game had and the living quarters mail and upgrades - I think that was a great addition. This game doesn't have much re-playability despite "multiple endings" and the achievements are easy to get. To be honest I've already completely forgotten what the story was. That said, I'd still recommend it if you're looking for something similar to Papers, Please but easier to play.
overall pretty fun, can be short if you're good at games like papers please. Very good social commentary as well
