story5 negative mentions
  • Innovative blend of 'Papers, Please' mechanics with base-building aspects, creating an engaging experience.
  • No ads and generally smooth gameplay with simple yet appealing graphics.
  • Good time-killer with gentle difficulty progression and some quality-of-life improvements over the original.
  • Game is unfinished with very limited content and levels, feeling more like an early access/preorder without clear disclosure.
  • Numerous bugs and glitches including progress blocking issues, achievement tracking failures, and occasional freezes make it frustrating to play.
  • Lack of meaningful story mode, monotonous repetitive gameplay, and many buildings/functions being pointless lead to a dull experience compared to the first game.

    The gameplay features solid core mechanics inspired by "Oxygen Not Included," but many users find it repetitive, limited, and lacking depth or a proper story mode. While some appreciate the smooth and engaging experience with appealing visuals, others criticize buggy animations, restrictive upgrades, and a generally unfinished feel. Overall, the gameplay is considered decent but repetitive and constrained, with noticeable technical and design shortcomings.

    • “They have successfully managed to take what's good about it (the mechanics) and added the overall feel and some other mechanics of the game 'Oxygen Not Included'.”
    • “The gameplay is smooth and engaging, and the unique concept keeps me coming back for more.”
    • “This is a very good game with great mechanics but the only issue I have is that it gets very repetitive and although that is kind of the point, in the first game there were 2 stories and the regulations changed every level.”
    • “After 3 to 4 hours of monotonous gameplay, you reach the end.”
    • “The advertised story mode does not exist (yet). The gameplay is very repetitive and even upgrading the base is very restrictive.”
    • “The animations are garbage and the gameplay is boring.”

  • story

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    23% positive mentions, 39% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The game currently lacks a substantial story mode, which many users expected based on the roadmap but has yet to be delivered. While some appreciate the potential for a story-driven experience, most find the narrative content minimal or nonexistent, with gameplay feeling repetitive and bare-bones in storytelling.

    • “If you enjoy story-driven games with a police theme and challenging decisions, this one’s definitely worth a try.”
    • “This is a nice game, good game with a cool story. I can't wait for the next 21 days... I'm still waiting for the next episode and more about the city.”
    • “It's still a little bare bones, there isn't a story mode to speak of, but what's there so far is good.”
    • “The advertised story mode does not exist (yet). The gameplay is very repetitive and even upgrading the base is very restrictive.”
    • “No story at all, you just keep checking documents, weight of trucks, doing x-ray.”
    • “There’s no storyline or challenge.”

  • graphics

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, with some praising the stunning visuals, appealing simplicity, and engaging art style, while others feel the art style is a downgrade from the previous game and find it less intuitive. Overall, opinions vary between admiration for the new design and disappointment compared to the original.

    • “The art style and the animations are really interesting.”
    • “The visuals are simple yet appealing, and the gameplay really pulls you in.”
    • “The graphics are stunning and really bring the game world to life.”
    • “Cannot reset your progress, it's not intuitive, the art style is a major downgrade from the first one.”
    • “The art style is a major downgrade compared to the first game.”
    • “The animations lack quality and feel unpolished.”

  • music

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    The music in the game is generally appreciated but can be repetitive and overly gloomy, which some feel detracts from the overall experience. Users suggest more variety and unique tracks, along with better audio cues and smoother integration during gameplay to enhance enjoyment. Despite these issues, the soundtrack has standout moments that contribute positively to the game's appeal.

    • “The soundtrack could use more variety or be less doom and gloom, as it sometimes gets in the way of an otherwise great Papers, Please-esque experience.”
    • “The music cuts in and out during gameplay, and there is no pause button during timed gameplay, which detracts from the experience.”
    • “A more unique soundtrack and a simple audio cue when calling another car forward would improve the game significantly.”

  • monetization

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    Users have mixed feelings about monetization: while the absence of ads is praised, annoying pop-up ads appear for some, and the low budget is evident in limited animations and content. Refunds are not available, which frustrates some players. Overall, the game’s monetization approach is viewed as minimally intrusive but constrained by budget.

    • “Can't refund, janky controls, and cutscenes to try to null the Chinese advertisement in America on a $2 budget.”
    • “Annoying pop-up ads.”
    • “0 ads is a plus but gameplay loop is just okay; you can see the budget was tight with animations, some of the sprites, and lack of story.”

  • stability

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from frequent glitches and bugs, with occasional freezes that impact playability. It feels unfinished and unstable, limiting the overall experience.

    • “Game has a lot of glitches.”
    • “Buggy, janky, unfinished, has only a dozen or so levels and gives you a 'new levels available October 21st' message.”
    • “Sometimes the game freezes.”
