Will our family survive today? | Papers, Please [3]

[@chrisr3788]

This game reminds me of when I worked at a bank and had to verify customers IDs. If you were wrong, you’d get a warning and after three warnings, they’d bring in Arin to kiss your dad while you watched.

[@Saitken]

That was supposed to be a punishment?

[@rosswardell9000]

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie😂

[@davidgeorge1943]

This game was indeed inspired by the developer having to go through customs repeatedly while working on a different game.

[@tylociraptor8131]

I had the same job and my dad said that I'd better get them all wrong or else.

[@xchaosx777]

That's just the risk you take when you seek the truth.

[@pyronuke4768]

It took me a while to figure out how to save the girls at the nightclub. What you gotta do is when the guy shows up you *give him* her note. He starts causing a scene which allows you to detain him, thus saving the girls.

[@PeterFerr]

You can also correlate his name with the note, which also enables detention

[@Gammix]

Can't you just deny for no reason and take a citation as well?

[@RayramAureanBlue]

@@Gammix I believe the girls still die in that case. You have to detain him.

[@resileaf9501]

This is not a good game for a long playthrough. Arin and Dan are not good at that sort of memorization game (especially with Arin's ADHD) and it shuts down their humor because they have to concentrate so much.

[@thenecromancer4113]

I know they said that this would be the last part, but I really hope that isn't the case. There's a HUGE overarching story to this game and it actually ends at day 30. I highly recommend a full playthrough because it gets incredibly interesting pretty soon. Also I'm sure a ton of people have said this, but alternate the food and heat each day. It saves a ton of money and makes it so caring for your family is actually a ton easier. Who cares if they go a full day without food and the next day without heat? It saves you credits! Also having 2 people on the couch to play this game is way overpowered, so utilize it. A player and a viewer pay attention to totally different things by nature, so it's practically a 2 player game. Finally, make sure you take time to study the rulebook before you start the day. Time doesn't start ticking until you call in the first person on each day, so study your bulletin and make sure you're familiar with your rulebook before each day.

[@jenniferjasso0918]

these are such good tips, i hope they actually play through it more!

[@thenecromancer4113]

@@jenniferjasso0918 Pretty basic tips, but easy to forget sometimes and extremely helpful. If it'll make them finish this game, I'll tell them everything I know.

[@Gossamer367]

Great tips, I hope they see them and consider a full playthrough at some point!

[@Narutosonicrule1245]

Also like if they don't have a permit at the start you can just interrogate them about it, and they can have it

[@thenecromancer4113]

@@Narutosonicrule1245 You won’t get a citation for someone having a paper that they didn’t give to you if you just deny them straight away, at least not early. You can make so much money on days 1 and 3 because of how easy they are. Day 1 of course is denying foreigners. When you see the person’s face enter the booth you can immediately bring up your stamps, then process whether they’re a foreigner while you carry the passport to the stamps. It’s just on the cover. You can pass 20 people if you are a demon because this day is intentionally shorter. Day 2 is the scripted bombing so you can only get like 10 people, but it’s also easy because you only need to check 4 things: The picture, the sex, the expiration date, and the issuing city. Easy as that. Day 3 is only ever so slightly harder but it’s the longest of the first 3, meaning you can potentially make more money than you did on day 1. On day 3 you need to check only one extra thing, and that’s the entry ticket. You gotta make sure it’s 11/25 and that _foreigners_ have it. I always forget that natives don’t need it and it gets me a citation. The entry permit is when it gets hard, but hopefully you’ve made enough money to coast.

[@garythereptile]

Just imagining Arin in the actual checkpoint, flicking through the rule book screaming "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! WHAT THE FUCK!" while someone is waiting to be checked, just watching, is hilarious.

[@suchnothing]

I also love imagining him sitting there like "yeah, curse you too. (motions to next person) What's up. Papers please."

[@whiskeyvoices1]

[@twitchyb9950]

I like that the moment Arin realizes there is time pressure he just completely breaks down

[@Akatix]

The sword fighting sounds in the D-club is amazing lmao brilliant marketing

[@alainpbat3903]

Just a reminder, most people play this game with a cheat sheet (its a large picture with all the stamps, issuing city and so on). This will significantly speed things up as you wont necessarily need to sift through the rules book everytime. It's also best to play the game in larger sessions because of the quantity of information you need to internalize (e.g. where's the search button or where's the discrepancy button and so on). Please continue to make these

[@davidgeorge1943]

So as the Game Over signified, this game does indeed have 20 different endings, but 17 of them are basically varying degrees of bad endings or Game Overs.

[@shakacien]

Kind of a perfect series for the grumps imo. Teamwork inspection where the over-shoulder Dan really helps make it possible and it's entertaining as heck.

[@Maxwellish]

watching the boys play this makes me realize this game is way more forgiving than I thought it was. when i played i was so anxious about the family, making sure they never got sick or anything and then i’m only seeing now it takes an entire week of them being ill for them to actually die lol

[@funtechu]

If you do continue the playthrough, here are a couple tips: 1. During the early days you don't need to give a reason for denial, so stamp away! 2. For your family, only buy food if they are hungry, and only buy heat if they are cold.

[@greywolf7577]

If they eat food when they aren't hungry, does that increase the time before they get hungry?

[@funtechu]

@@greywolf7577 It does not. There is no benefit to providing food when the family is not hungry, or heat when they are not cold.

[@FoxGL]

I love how the discrepancy marker makes it so much easier to find things and they almost never use it even for the finger prints.

[@celiamurillo7165]

[@irick3000]

Something i just learned recently. You dont really need to interrogate people before denying entry until you're required to stamp a reason

[@Kyle_116]

Sometimes they give you the proper cards if you ask though. "This ticket is missing." Response, "Oh sorry here it is"

[@cutepinkyo]

​@@Kyle_116 yeah for that only tho, you don't need to tell them about other stuff tho

[@irick3000]

If they dont provide the first time, you can immediately deny entry without asking, and you won't get penalized. I just played this again recently, and it totally works. It's a great way to make loads of cash in the first few days

Dan being like „These Kolechians“ after finding two with contraband is the most perfect example for how racial profiling works of all time (and one of the many reasons this game is amazing). You only searched Kolechians. How would you know if anyone else is carrying contraband?

Please i beg for more. This game only gets better and the boys have really gotten the hang of it now

[@jessicamoteleb5287]

Arin, you NEED to alternate food and heat every day. Your son will get sick without one day of food, but getting heat one day then buying food and medicine the next day will save you an average of 15 credits per day. You got this dude!

Everyone should know this

​@@Martin-ro2zj Yes because everyone who has never played this game before should know the intricacies of how the game functions. I understand Arin isn't the best at games to an arguably aggravating fault sometimes, but cut the dude some slack.
