Congratulations. The October labor lottery is complete. Your name was pulled. For immediate placement, report to the Ministry of Admission at Grestin Border Checkpoint. An apartment will be provided for you and your family in East Grestin.

Games like Papers Please, That's Not My Neighbor, Shift At Midnight, Not Tonight, and Contraband Police have created a niche genre: checkpoint gameplay.

Discuss.

It's basically Spot The Difference games for adult males.

I believe calling them "check-in simulators" would be more appropriate, some of Papers Please clones barely has anything to do with border checks(Strange Horticulture, Mind Scanners).

EDIT: Everyone should have a friend like Jorji from Papers Please.

I only played the first two and enjoyed them both. I will say that That's Not My Neighbor is extremely easy, and has less pressure compared to something like Papers Please.

Free my nigga Jorji, he dindu nuffin.

Also most of these are part of the Steam Summer Sale right now. Papers, Please and Contraband Police I've both enjoyed.

I am autistic enough that now I hope someone has made a TSA simulator because I would play it and I would enjoy it.

(Relatedly, airport travel has somehow managed to get a lot smoother since the days after 9/11, despite the new rules and whatnot. I was surprised.)

Papers Please is a game design masterpiece that's hard to learn initially but satisfying to master.
Heres a gameplay no commentary snipped of me beating a day with no citations.
