Encodya vs Papers Please
Encodya
Encodya is a gorgeous point-and-click adventure game featuring a young orphan, a 9-year-old girl named Tina, and her robot nanny, S.A.M. 53. Set in a dystopian cyberpunk world where many people have fallen deeply addicted to VR, an incident sparked off a journey where she tries to carry out the mission her late father has left her and possibly change the world for the better in the process. There are plenty of obstacles and puzzles along the way, but by switching between the robot and the girl, you’ll be able to solve them and figure out where to go or what to do next.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.
