From the website:

A Dystopian Document Thriller.
 
The communist state of Arstotzka has just ended a 6-year war with neighboring Kolechia and reclaimed its rightful half of the border town, Grestin. 
 
Your job as an immigration inspector is to control the flow of people entering the Arstotzkan side of Grestin from Kolechia. Among the throngs of immigrants and visitors looking for work are hidden smugglers, spies, and terrorists. Using only the documents provided by travelers and MoA's primitive computer dispatch system you must decide who can enter Arstotzka and who will be turned away or arrested.

It is morbidly fun desperately trying to earn a living by stopping others from entering your country, where they think things are so much better. With in three days on my first go; half my family was frozen, sick and starving. I blame these dirty immigrants! Although the game is a work in progress it is still very fun.

I could let you through, but my children would starve

Playing this now, it's pretty interesting.

EDIT: I just finished the beta, and this game is really interesting. I can't wait to see where it goes.

[hemmingjay]

It's very good and challenging. I like how the dev is clearly inspired by Covert Action.

[Falknor]

A good reason to try this. ( Covert action inspired )

Among the other reason to also try it. 

[USEC_OFFICER]

God damn it. I have no words. I've only started day 5, and my soul already feels horribly crushed. Mind you I seem to be a lean, mean, passport checking machine, but it's not worth the trade off. I can't wait to see where he goes, mostly because I have no clue where he can go.

FAKEDIT: This is also the guy who made The Republia Times. I am not surprised in the slightest.

REAL EDIT: Why game. Why...

[Reudh]

Ah, this game! I got into it right at the first alpha release. Good to see he's still working on it!

[Baneling]

Is there anything you can do about somebody who doesn't have any papers? I tried closing the shutters and whatnot but I couldn't do anything.

EDIT: DISREGARD THAT I AM STUPID

If Cthulhu worked at that checkpoint, he would have his soul crushed. The guy who made this, and Republia Times is awesome at crafting games about soul-crushing, regime-serving jobs (although Republia Times got bonus points for being Winston Smith: The Game).

[sebcool]

Just played through it, and my god do the searches suck. I really hope there won't be any more of those in the full game.

If Cthulhu worked at that checkpoint, he would have his soul crushed.

This.

PTW since this was so much fun.

[Scelly9]

I love that one old guy with the crayon-drawn passport. He's so cheerful!

EDIT: DISREGARD THAT I AM STUPID

Mind saying how to fix it so that I can play the rest of the game?

[Scelly9]

Use inspection mode, highlight the law requiring passports, then highlight the table.

[hemmingjay]

use the inspection/compare button on the rule in the rule book pertaining to needing papers and also the empty box under the window where papers get put.
