However you have one person (though understandable). And it seems more like a relaxed game than anything.

It would have been good to have more intrigue in choices - I understand that desperation and choicelessness is part of the art of the concept, but even a beggar has choices - do you pester the same people 10 times? Would you get socked if you do? Who should you beg? Based on their looks?\r\rSo I really applaud the idea but the execution is lacking. Hope to see more Papers Please type stuff! :)"},{"author_name":"DanHayesGamer","author_uid":"26237","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 11:43am","epoch":1418038680,"text":"Hey tuism, \r\rYeah I agree, I wanted to do more things, but didn't have enough time.
