About IP, PLEASE

IP, PLEASE is ctnyanya's pixel-art border-inspection satire inspired by Papers, Please. As inspector Claude at the Ministry of Alignment's UTC+8 checkpoint, compare travelers' IP regions, timezones, languages and account details against changing rules. Its six-day story adds quizzes and scanning tools, with two endings and automatic saves after each day. Choose English or Simplified Chinese; the English edition includes newspaper notes explaining the Chinese internet jokes. The fictional checkpoint pokes fun at region-based access restrictions.

How to Play

Choose English or Simplified Chinese on the opening screen. Call the next traveler, drag their papers onto the desk and compare them with the Constitution's current rules. Stamp a decision and return the documents. Check new rules and tools each day. Use a mouse on desktop or touch controls with your phone held in landscape.
