The popular indie game, Papers, Please, has recently celebrated its ten year anniversary and has reached an impressive milestone of selling five million copies across various platforms over the past decade. Created by developer Lucas Pope and his company 3909 LLC, the game has captivated players with its unique blend of emotion and addictive gameplay.
To commemorate this achievement, Lucas Pope has released a new web game called LCD, Please. This game allows players to experience certain aspects of the original title. In LCD, Please, players are tasked with the responsibility of approving or denying passport and transit requests. The game’s graphics emulate the LCD style of old portable devices such as Nintendo’s Game & Watch series. With its monotone sound, simple controls, and addictive gameplay, LCD, Please offers a perfect way to pass a few minutes during a work break.
However, the web game is not the only way in which the success of Papers, Please is being celebrated. Lucas Pope has also released an official soundtrack, available on popular music streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Additionally, a developer’s log has been made available, providing insider information about the game’s original pitch and development process. Fans can also purchase a range of related merchandise from the game’s online store, including posters, shirts, stickers, and more.
Since its initial release in 2013, Papers, Please has launched on more than 40 platforms, making it easily accessible to a wide audience. Last year, the game made its way to Android and iOS devices, further expanding its reach. The success of the game has even inspired a short film, praised for its ability to capture the essence of the source material. Following the success of Papers, Please, Lucas Pope went on to create another acclaimed game, Return of the Obra Dinn, which takes players on a mysterious and intriguing seafaring adventure.
With its thought-provoking gameplay and immersive experience, it’s no wonder that Papers, Please has achieved such widespread success. As the game continues to captivate players worldwide, its impact on the indie gaming scene remains significant.
