As an immigration officer of Arstotzka, you must grant or deny access to all those that want to enter into your home land. Of course, it's not that simple. Having just ended a long war with your neighbouring country, tensions are high and your higher ups, like Mr. M. Vonel, will give you instructions in how to proceed with your duties.
You're not alone in your booth however. Your family is at home, a wife hoping her beloved husband brings home money for their expenses, a child with dreams of a bicycle and that's where Papers, Please begin to shine.
It is one moral decision over another. Do you stand for your country and your job and do what is expected of you? Or do you sympathize for the people who wish to enter? It can at times become a tough decision that is well pulled off in this marvel of fun.
