Bane_Killgrind comments on Papers, Please creator Lucas Pope says he no longer reveals what he’s working on in case it’s stolen or ‘slurped up by AI’

To be fair, the first spawned a genre and the second is a masterpiece, he set an impossible standard. But you could have said that before the second was released.

If I could tell Pope one thing, it's "just make games you think you'll like dude"

What other games came out that were like Papers Please? I only ever played/heard of that one.

Those are the closest two I think.

There's others that get more into FNAF type of gameplay, or straight detective sorts.

I would call Not Tonight a 'paperslike'.

Speaking as Brit who is salty as hell at Brexit, I really enjoyed "Not Tonight". It takes the Papers, Please mechanical framework and applies it to a new socio-economic context for some really effective satire. If you hadn't mentioned it, then this is the one that I would have commented to add

The upcoming I Have No Change has a certain Papers-esque feel to it. You're stuck in a kiosk doing mundane things, and narratives are told through the characters that visit your kiosk.
