Comments on Papers, Please for Android

★★★★★ Jarod Witt · Nov 18, 2025

Great mobile port of a great game. I'm usually not a fan of games with time limits but this game does it in short bursts and is part of the theme of the game.

★★★★★ Kenzie Brown · Jun 8, 2026

Very fun. I like all the different outcomes and thay your choices actually matter. Great artwork and good story.

★★★★★ Val “Thomps” Thompson · Sep 10, 2025

It is one of the best games, and is especially fun on mobile, where you can interact via touch controls. I recommend it! Glory to Arstotzka!

★★☆☆☆ Savage “fbj” Prawn · Sep 2, 2026

Everything but inspection works on a Samsung fold. No button for inspection and dragging just moves documents around not highlighting discrepancies.

★★☆☆☆ Dan G · Dec 26, 2025

I mean it's okay, but I feel like this could be improved in a few ways. Like why do I need to click next person, can't they come automatically? Why do I need to click return for each document. Pulling the shutter up should automatically return docs and send next person in. and make it clear what needs cross-referencing and what doesn't. And give better instructions on to do this. For me this just isn't fun, not on an android phone. Maybe it is a different experience on PC

★☆☆☆☆ Karma Kazzi · Mar 18, 2026

Glitchy, can't access tools vital to make the game function, I want my money back 😭 not device compatible

★☆☆☆☆ Özgün Karaca (Jack Skellington) · Jul 26, 2026

I'm just. So confused. How can an update forever ruin the UI? I finished this game on my fold 4 once, after like a year I came back to it to play it again, only to find that the UI does no longer fit and because of this the red exclamation button (the inspect button) is not clickable. How? And Why did you do this? It already used to work perfectly on Fold. Please fix. NOT ADD just fix because it literally used to work before.
