How does your game fit the theme?
Exit Strategy runs on three nested countdowns. The largest is the border itself, shown on screen at all times as the days until the borders seal. It counts down one day at a time, and surviving to zero means you have outlasted the crackdown and won. Inside it, each working day is its own shrinking timer, cut even shorter by curfews as the crackdown tightens. And many clients arrive with a personal countdown, a flight, a ship, or a contact who won't wait.

The idea of reversing Papers Please is great, but I think the timers are not really implemented in an interesting way. For me, it was kind of annoying and too stressful to try to forge the documents in a limited amount of time. I like the count down for the border closing. Nevertheless, the art was great, and the music really fit the tense theme of the whole game. Good job!
Totally didn't end up bankrupt owing 25k 😅
cool game and polished, some talented dudes worked on this game.
Very nice an polished game.
Just a little bit too hacktic for me. But i also liked the stroy around it. Well done
very interesting take, and lots of polish. could be a bit easier, difficulty seems a bit too high and can subtract from enjoyment. very good game, regardless.
Very cool take on Papers, Please. Also a very polished game! good job
Really cool idea. I love the fresh take on the papers please formula and trying to fake signatures is very fun.
This was so much fun! I really enjoyed parsing through the documents to put the form together.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Pretty creative spin on Papers Please, loved the creativity and the simplistic art style of it reminded me of the good ol flash game times
This is pretty well made! I liked the detail of signing the papers and stamping them because that could be imperfect. I felt the pressure of looking through the person's documents and connecting fields.
Wow. I love the gameplay! Great submission
Thank you for playing!
Very cool idea! Love the Post, adds such a cool touch.
Thank you!

Idk how to play but the concept is awesome
Thank you! Oops, I should have added a tutorial, my bad. Not sure if I can edit the game page to explain how it's played during the review period, but I'll look into it!
This keeps happening with a lot of games for me so I might just be slow lol
