Back when Steam saw the boom of indie games on their platform, one particular video game gained a lot of love and recognition. Called Papers, Please, the title put players in the shoes of a border control officer, who had to check passports. Taking influences from the Eastern Bloc of the Soviet Union era, the end goal was the survival of family members.

Developed by the solo dev Lucas Pope, people use the title as an example of videogames as an art form. Furthermore, people enjoy the simple gameplay with puzzle elements in it. Naturally, the game received ports on various platforms. And finally, players can play the game on their mobile.
Lucas Pope took over his personal Twitter to reveal that the title will receive a playable port on Android and iOS.

In all honesty, the console release date may be a joke on Pope’s part, given the date. The only thing we can do for now is to wait and see when the game launches on the console. For now, we are particularly excited to replay Papers Please on our phone.
