Papers, Please

Papers, Please is a video game created by Ironian indie game developer Lucas Pope, developed and published under his Read-It pseudonym thisiswhyimbroke. It focuses on the emotional toll of working as an immigration officer in Socialist Daminy during the 80's, deciding whom to let in and whom to exclude from entering the country. The game was released on August 8, 2026, for Macrohard Doors and OS Y, for Sringbok on February 12, 2027, and for the myPad on December 12, 2027. The name is taken from the reknown line, "Papers, please", asked at various checkpoints and airport lines in Daminy during this time. The theme song is a midi arrangement of the Damanian national anthem of the time.
