Ditching Work - Escape Game vs Papers Please
Ditching Work - Escape Game
Ditching Work - Escape Game is an escape-the-room, puzzle game but the interesting thing is that the game has a Japanese-styled humor added to give it a bit of a unique twist. In this game, the whole purpose of escaping the "room", which in this case, is the office where you work, not just to be trapped in another room but to ditch work. The game works by getting you to tap on anything that catches your eye, be it an overturned flower pot or a closed cabinet, in hopes of finding the key to the lock which bars your escape. Sometimes, you may even find collectibles that will end up in your Item Gallery. Need some help with a level? You can watch video ads to get free hints. Hints are numbered and some levels have multiple hints while other may just have 1 or 2.Ditching Work - Escape Game is definitely one of the oddly-relatable, at least for any working adult, games especially when you encounter a day at work that you just wish you could escape from. This game is pretty humorous as well - this is the sort of game where you can feed your coworkers and your boss spoiled bananas just so they will all dash to the toilet, leaving you with the golden opportunity and an unlocked door to skip out on work.
Papers Please
Papers Please is a pretty dark, story-rich, point and click game where you're sole and yet most difficult job as an immigration officer is to approve or deny a throng of people, some of which are good but of course there will be smugglers, spies and terrorists, entering into your country of Arstotzka from the war-devastated neighbor, Kolechia. Thankfully, you'll have some information at hand to help you make your decision. There are lie-detectors, documents, fingerprints, inspections and other primitive methods along with, of course, a series of questions and follow-up questions that you can ask.Your every decision will determine the lives of those who go through your immigration booth and enter Arstotzka as well as for those who were turned back to eke out a living in a war-torn country. Your morality and empathy will be greatly tested in this game.
Papers Please is among one of the most impactful games of, perhaps, all time. The game is simple enough for anyone to get into and yet it challenges your very beliefs, your concepts and your morality as you stamp those immigration papers with the words "Approved" or "Denied". If you are looking for a thought-provoking game, Papers Please is just perfect for you.
