The story mode receives mixed reviews, with many appreciating its concept and potential but criticizing its short length, frequent bugs, and poor grammar that disrupt immersion. Some players find the narrative overly similar to "Papers, Please," while others dislike the controversial "virus" and anti-vaccine themes. Overall, while the story is engaging at times, users widely express a desire for more content, better writing, and additional varied storylines.
- “Love the story and the curveballs sometimes thrown at you.”
- “This is truly an amazing game I bought it and the story is great and it's overall just one of the best games on the Google Play Store.”
- “Such a good game with a great storyline, had the same interface as Papers, Please, but with a slight difference, overall it was a great game.”
- “On the 'varune virus' story mode, on day 7, the game forces me to give medicine to my family member, but there's no option to give it!”
- “It suffers from a bad story that doesn't make any sense, and grammatical errors that take you out of the game.”
- “Lots of bugs that need to be fixed; in story mode for example the kids died but the main character told Eric he has kids, plus later on the game, Red Dead member told me they're behind the murder of my wife even though she's alive... and there are many more bugs: there were 3 Cecania Klein who passed the frontier, some foreigners only have their passport (when they're supposed to have ID supplement and entry permit) but I can still let them pass without receiving mistake notification.”

The gameplay closely mirrors "Papers, Please" with familiar mechanics and setting, offering a generally solid and enjoyable experience, especially suited for mobile. While some appreciate new features like freer desk organization and an automatic "next" option, others find it repetitive, lacking depth, and occasionally glitchy, with limited replayability beyond the main 28-day campaign. Overall, the gameplay is functional and engaging but could benefit from more original mechanics, improved pacing, and additional content.
- “The automatic 'next' option is a nice addition, and since it doesn't have all mechanics from Papers, Please, it's slightly easier.”
- “Here's my review: the gameplay itself is good and to me it's not boring, so worth the payment.”
- “Love it as it fills that void very well and its gameplay is very well made for mobile phones.”
- “Animations are not good, mechanics a bit messy and story forced and predictable.”
- “Gameplay is alright, but pacing of dialog seems off; skip options don't always exist, and it's possible to skip some dialog that would be important for the structure of the story (visitors without a passport for instance).”
- “And also please add a lot more mechanics like we can also check the ID number or some sort, and the conversations are repeating.”

The graphics are generally praised for being colorful, clear, and visually appealing with a nice art style, often considered better than similar games like Papers, Please. However, some users note minor flaws such as lack of personality, occasional glitches, and a desire for improved graphics options or enhancements. Overall, while the visuals are a strong point, they sometimes fall short in fully supporting the immersive narrative experience.
- “It's full color with a really nice art style; the story is pretty fun, and the game is overall really fun and enjoyable. This game is truly one of the hidden gems of the Play Store!”
- “This game is enjoyable, with good graphics and very well made. I really wanted to play this game just like the PC version 'Papers Please.'”
- “Really good and awesome game with high-quality graphics and fun to play.”
- “It loses a little something in its translation from PC to Android; it tries hard to balance the aesthetic with quality-of-life improvements and does a decent job, but it shows that surprisingly struggling with the mouse was part of the fun.”
- “Glitches when trying to play it: you're meant to identify people, but half of the screen is cluttered and covered by part of the graphics, so you can't see what you're meant to be doing.”
- “Very slow pace and poor graphics/artwork.”

The monetization approach is criticized for excessive and intrusive ads, especially for the developer's own games, including forced timers, even on paid or ad-free platforms. In-app purchases are seen as off-putting, with some players feeling the game lacks value compared to cheaper alternatives. Overall, users express frustration with aggressive advertising and additional costs detracting from the experience.
- “No ads and it will always keep you on your toes to think and rethink the decisions you take in this game.”
- “I can't even say it is inspired, as they literally attempted to copy the game but missed key features, added in-app monetization, and completely stole the cut scenes but without the story or design.”
- “I got this game through Google Play Pass and it's not supposed to have any ads or in-app purchases but between every level there's an ad from your company for Black Border Patrol 2!”
- “The ads for Black Border 2 seem excessive, even have a forced 5-second timer, and I already bought Black Border 2.”

The game experiences frequent stability issues, including freezes, bugs, and graphical glitches that hinder gameplay. While some users report no problems, the majority encounter consistent crashes and display errors, impacting the overall experience despite good graphics and design.
- “I've played the same level 3 times and it always freezes.”
- “Literally freezes every time I play.”
- “Glitches when trying to play it, you're meant to be able to identify people, but half of the screen is glitching and covered by part of the graphics, so you can't see what you're meant to be doing.”

Players feel the game lacks music or ambient sounds, leading to a less immersive and sometimes boring experience during story mode. Many suggest adding thematic background music or office-like ambience to enhance realism and engagement. Incorporating these audio elements would significantly improve the overall atmosphere.

- “Also, it would be good to have some sort of music or background noise while playing.”
- “Great game; it would be even better if you added music.”
- “If you don't want to put music, please add ambient sounds such as office atmosphere. After a while of playing story mode, I got bored because there was no audio element.”
