It really shows you everything, though it’s honestly not the least bit erotic or titillating. Yes, there’s a box for Nudity, because of the body scanner. Which sounds like a great way to practice actually. I’ve not tried Endless yet, because the story is too fascinating to abandon, but I’ve heard it’s essentially all randomised for as long as you can last. So what has changed from the early demo to the released version? Well, I’m glad you asked! First off there are now two modes: Story and Endless. I have ideas for different types of playthroughs that could prove interesting.

It’s a good thing I really don’t mind playing the game over again.

So apparently there are 20 different endings. Will you stick to the book, or accept a citation in order to earn some extra cash or help a wife join her husband so she doesn’t have to go back to her homeland and be executed?įor what is an ugly-looking game about checking documents there is a surprising amount of depth and intrigue that sucked me in and led me through 33 days of work until I reached an ending. To pile things on, people will try to bribe you, or get you to help them in certain ways, and you have to make the decisions on what you do and don’t find acceptable. At which point you have to spend even more money on medicine or they might die. If you don’t get enough money to pay rent, food and heat, your family will start starving, freezing, and get sick. And your pay is based on how many people you’re able to process during the day. See, times are hard in Arstotzka, and only you have a job, so it’s up to you to take care of your family. It kinda threatens to overwhelm, but it does ease you into the process and with some practice you’ll be processing people at a profitable rate.

The first couple of days are fairly simple in that nice tutorial style, but things get more complicated real fast as you need to check fingerprints, use the body scanner, make sure the document seals are present and valid and much more. The oppressive government are nice enough to double-check everything you do, and ‘award’ you citations if you fuck it up! Your job is to check the documents of people coming there and make the call on who is allowed to enter or not.
