Really liked the graphics and the idea. It felt a little repetitive and the sounds were a little loud for me initial. I also got stuck on Day 8. It seems like it only gave me the first two words and I could only get 'Protect Target' it wouldn't let me discard it either. Was a shame as I was hoping to experience the whole game. But overall was very well made, excluding the potential bug I had.

Only other complaint was it felt like the Guilty , Innocent decision should be the other way round to match the accept / discard buttons on the code screen.

Great art direction, and definitely on-theme. Almost made me want to play Papers, Please again after all these years. I found the background audio a bit distracting/stressful, both from the loudness and the mechanical noises. The stress kind of added to the game, though. It was hard to tell that the stamp was supposed to be draggable without some kind of cursor change, but I got there eventually. Good work!

Simple game that fits the theme. The juice has a lot of polish. Transitions, object slide-ins, etc. I got stuck on one of the ciphers where there's apparently 2 words for a 3 word decryption. Might be a bug or I might be missing something. Good work though.

Wow, awesome game for such a short deadline! As a fan of Papers, Please, I enjoyed playing it a lot. The only downside I noticed - to apply a stamp, you must first drag the stamp to the desired position and then click on it. I feel like it's a bit unintuitive. But besides that, great work!
