Fun fact: If you have over 20 citations, instead of getting a plaque for sufficience, you get a plaque for presence.
Oh my god, it took me embarassingly long to realize that's just an eloquent way to say 'participation trophy'
Also, if you get no citations you get a plaque for excellence.
tbh managing to still be alive is worth commendation all on its own there
Participation award.
@@meowth3338 Also says that you make Arstotska proud instead of lamenting that it was a mistake to rely on lottery
My favorite random fact about this game is the terrorist attacks are scripted, and are always authorized to enter. If you mistakenly deny them, the next person in line becomes the new terrorist. If you continually deny them over and over, the day will never end and you will continually rack up more citations. And it's endlessly hilarious to me that this entire line of people is playing pass the buck with a ticking bomb, all scratching their heads as the boneheaded inspector denies the thirtieth cleared entrant in a row
oh god
Imagine being in that line, with no idea of the plan lol. Someone just hands you a fucking bomb after they leave the boarder lol
That is stupidly funny to me lmaoooo
When they're denied they just sigh and hand the bomb over to the person behind them
@@futuregodkingoftheuniverse8381 and afterwards the guy passing the bomb shrugs to the receiver and leaves
One of my favorite things about Jorji is that every time he arrives he has a different passport stating today is his birthday
Maybe he's hoping that'll entice the inspector to let him in
He's just a little birthday boy.
I always let him through
@@ultmateragnarok8376You wouldn't detain a guy on his birthday, would ya?
@JakeTalksGamesYT big brain. If you let him in straight away he can't repeatedly come back each day after to waste your time.
Fun fact: The amount of people the inspector says "Glory to Arstotzka" to get less and less over the course of the game, and since you're required to confiscate all Arstotzkan passports by the end of the game, he doesn't say it at all. Really sets the tone by the end.
Love the storytelling in this game. Isn't much but it's so much better than the handholdy games
Oribstan above all 🫡
additionally, whenever you let a foreigner through, the guard tells them "cause no trouble." unless they're a suicide bomber, in which case he says nothing. i imagine a fuckin kolechian extremist waiting in line all that time, getting let in and the guard saying "cause no trouble" and then the extremist is like "oh....okay :(" and just moseys on past without blowing up because they were told not to cause any trouble
@@glassphoenix9095I may be a bomber but I follow the rules for I am a polite bomber
They follow Swiper rules
i love how RT was unquestioningly loyal to EZIC for the entire game, only to flee to Obristan after setting up for the ending where EZIC is successful and they give the inspector a new job
EZIC’s just left scratching their heads at why he decided to run away when everything ended successfully lmao
ikr he was on track to get the best ending
he also denied the 2000 dollar gift

Me, playing this in middle school: This is the hardest game ever! Me, after working a job in data entry: Wait, my boss only changed *THREE* arbitrary rules today? Pfft.
Can you elaborate for those not in the loop. Edit: I get it but can you explain rules from your job.
Glory to Data Entry
Yeah, seriously
@@Leviathanlight Haven't you heard them? They can't explain, because it changes every day
Sounds about right
I had actually forgotten that the EZIC ending can be obtained if you do at least FOUR of the five tasks given, which RTGame actually did do successfully. “We did it! The Grestin Checkpoint is no more! And all thanks to the inspector! … where’s the inspector?”
Honestly, respect. The inspector wanted nothing more to do with it and LEFT. Chased a better life whilst leaving behind a better future.
Not all heroes wear capes. Some just have stamps.
Actually, RT accidently failing to kill the man in red putting him in second best ending is quite funny. like, if it was me I wouldve just successed and got somewhat mediocre ending where I get executed
@@kim-lo8oz he had still done four on the tasks which would allow the EZIC ending: 1)letting in the first 2 guys with the decoder 2)letting in the guy with the ezic passport template thing 3)killing the guy with the powder 4)not shooting the terrorists and allowing them to breach the checkpoint wall
@@napsbrickrailways2290 Yes, I mean he did fail ezic's mission where you kill the man in red with the lethal gun
Not restarting the day after letting the green guard die has got to be a criminal offence
Sergiu :(
Forgetting the name of Sergiu has to be aswell..
Ooo... does he get killed by EZIC then?
@@SilkyAbeI believe Sergiu gets his post changed before that. There's no scripted death for him thankfully.
right after that day theres an event where sergiu gets relocated to a different post too, just in time to not be involved in the EZIC attack
It's so funny to visualize RT at the end as a border guard. You walk in, hand your Obristan Passport to the guard, and he rapidly shoves it into his pocket before turning you away. He'd look absolutely insane
Come to think of it, Obristan probably isn't a great place to live if they won't do anything about a rogue Arstotskan border guard stealing their citizens' passports.
he sounds insane as he makes a shit-eating grin at you, mumbling “chat we need this passport” under his breath
Or even worse, RT arrives at the obristan border with obristan passports at the end and the same thing happens
Love your Hollow Knight art
needs to be animated, almost falling out of the booth to grab the passport and running away like "i got all of them"
I adore the line "They look terrible" about your fake passports. I love how of course if you came this far you'd have an eye for all the tiny flaws they would surely have.
I like to think they actually look just fine because of that. :)
@nicestpancake they look fine to someone who hasn't been checking passports for almost a month knowing that if you make too many mistakes your done for
And also the fact you say the reason for your visit because arstotzka required the reason, while in Obristan the person doesn't give a damn at all, showing how more relaxed they are
Man was this stream unhinged. In one moment giving amnesty to a criminal that has REPEATEDLY tried to bring in drugs. The next, stealing a football player's poster. Really, this game was made for RT.
AND detaining him but not the drug dealer
@@BunnyOnASnuman But he was nice to me!
20:53 This is still one of my favorite events in the game lmao; the instant detain option appearing is beautiful, along with the "Shit! Can I have those back!?"
I love that _sooooo_ much. That’s the funniest shit ever.
Yeah, you'd never think that detain button can have a comedic timing
I loved when segiru was so happy and nothing happened to him and he survived!
Yeah! Yeah... ...
If only he was as good at shooting as he was getting fined

I'm glad RT's life has finally been enriched by the presence of one of gaming's greatest heroes: our man Jorji
Glory to Jorji!!!
Jorji above all!!!
But can he beat -Goku- Saint Umbar???
Glory to Cobrastan
The worst part is that this job lets you support (if only barely) 5 people (including an apartment), better than some american jobs
Especially since you’re only processing like 10 people, tops, on an 8 hour shift
Abiden morality, embrace capitality! -wouldn't surprise me if these are already american words-
Artozka has a decent wellfare system it seems
sOME
Artozkan currency is just that good
I work as a security coordinator at a transportation company, and my job is surprisingly similar to this game; completing tedious tasks and identifying discrepancies, all while policies and procedures change or get made up between shifts. Tragic to say, since I’ve attempted to replay this game recently, I can no longer enjoy this game: it ACTUALLY reminds me too much of work.
Living the arztotzkan dream
Glory to arostoztka
Do you have to shoot terrorists as well
No, but I do get to do the corporate equivalent of detaining people (which is not actually detaining people, calm down)
The Ezic order rises
I love when dan said "it's stampin' time" and got 38 citations
The citation printing sound is nails on chalkboard for me. Goes to show how much the game design for this game tells its story just as much as the story itself.
Really? To me it's a very neutral noise
I ALWAYS waited in bated breath every time someone goes through. I was primed to brace for the possibility that no matter what I did, I'm always wrong
@@shawn.spencer On it's own it might be mostly normal, but the fact it takes a few moments for you to stress out about if you made a mistake, then get relieved by not hearing it, then it startles you, is a lot. Or maybe I'm just sound sensitive.
@@shawn.spencer We must Pavlov you. Glory to Arstotska.
Honestly a shame Sergiu didn't make it. You would have gotten the best ending if he did.
it doesn't change the endings
@@Prismate sergiu being alive _is_ the best ending
After the detective Pikachu we can see how a game about busy work can be just so much more fun.
I mean, Papers, Please IS fun
It really says something that a game about doing paperwork is infinitely more entertaining than detective pikachu
@@somethingfizzy Is it really that bad? (I haven't seen it and I'm not interested)
@@somethingfizzy As I said before I'm not interested, but I will consider watching it just to see RT suffering (no hate to RT of course)
@@idkman48 if anything watching rt have a meltdown over the game is funnier than anything on it
Shoutout to Jorji the absolute madlad, never being mad at you for doing your job and even helping you escape at the end. What a chad
Fun fact: if you deny him when he has the correct documents, he actually snaps at you
30:17 Dan contaminates the Approve stamp dooming all who get approved for entry to a slow agonizing death.
with the efficiency of that powder, i'd say a very fast agonizing death
Mysterious poison hospitalizes several!
RT: "Eh, he's Irish. Let him in." Irish guy: "...The fog is coming."
jorji is literally one of my favorite characters in any game ever, he's like the textbook definition of a lovable little scoundrel
Just a little scamp
oh that rascal!
such a little guy *smuggles drugs*
Honestly, I'm shocked you've not played this before
Yea, that was my reaction when I saw the notification
I have played it only once before, but I have no idea when or memory of it haha. We found an old save file on the stream - apparently I played it during Christmas one year
@@RTGameyea you played it in 2026
there are a LOT of endings and only one happy ending. good luck bud, that happy ending is HARD@@RTGame
@@thahirshibu50422 happy endings.
The delay on getting a citation adds so much fear
(edit: turns out I misremembered, sorry; they originally showed up at the end of the day, but having them show up promptly made it feel more like the state was always watching, as well as to provide better feedback, like paulsd9255 said. also, there's still the question of why they need you for border control, like the_rabidsquirel said.) I heard they had the citations show up immediately to sell the surveillance state, "Big Brother is watching" deal, but they thought the delay helped create suspense (and did away with the question of why they needed you for border control if they were so on top of it). Pretty neat!
Nah they had them appear immediately because they were originally meant to be end of day, but he found that it doesn’t help you none if your record of mistakes is delayed that long.
@@spideraba769 The question of why they need you in the first place is definitely still there, relatively speaking those citations are still coming in very quick. Reasonable though to just handwave it as a video game mechanic for the reasons you and the other person mentioned.
*me mousing over the bottom of the screen* you better not… you better not… INVALID SEX???
@@yellobanana6456 That is always the most annoying cause it's so incredibly subjective!
I love how at the beginning, he was so hesitant to detain people and forgot several times, meanwhile Sean tried to detain people for missing documents lol
Sean forgot for a while that you could just deny people normally
the way he switched up so fast once you started getting paid for detaining lol
@@ThePigeonsAreAConspiracyTheory That’s just how you get crime to go down! Definitely not incentivizing miscarriage of justice.
30:04 imagine going through border control and hearing the guard say this from the booth
That’s amazing
RT failing to do everything but still managing a good ending is hilarious to me
Did he manage to do enough to have gotten the Ezic ending? Or would messing up the passport thing make that not a thing?
@@danieljames1868 I think messing up the passport fails the ending
@@danieljames1868 wait no actually he did enough to get the EZIC ending he didn't even have to leave
the funniest thing about this stream was the fact that rt has actually played this before and had like no memory of it
I cannot dissociate this game from the other Irish KZheadr shouting glory while seemingly fighting off a stroke with the power of sheer patriotic will.
*_DETAINED!!!_*
Is this a loading ready run reference?
@@darksteelhero1No it's a reference to Jacksepticeye
Why don't you just say his name? Not like we're not allowed to speak it...
@@AcelJeanit's funnier this way
RTGame getting annoyed at his son whilst literally strategically starving and freezing him is the funniest thing I've seen today
It’s quite crazy to think that Papers Please came out only 10 years ago which is also the same amount of time Pokemon X and Y came out. Wild how much of gaming has changed in that time! *Glory to the Drift King.*
Has it really been 10 years since Pokemon XY?
@@sunshineleith5556Yes, i would know as it was my first pokemone game lmao
@@sunshineleith5556It was the 10th anniversary just this Thursday
@@Echantediamond1 same here

I love how most people fret over keeping their family comfortable and then Neutral Evil Dan here is just like "I don't need _that_ many living relations, right?"
the fact that he, even when he had multiple hundreds of dollars in the bank, refused to pay for heat AND food at the same time is amazing to me. such commitment
17:50 when he almost handed the man the Ezic Decoder I had a heart attack
I wanted to do a full comrade run and was rather disappointed that was an instant death
I 100% this game so watching this was very painful
@@gabrielantunez7642I had the same experience. I was actually mad ngl
Thank you rt for making such amazing videos. I want to let you know that ive been watching you since middle school and now im getting married next year. Through all the changes in my life watching you has stayed consistent lol
Congrats on the wedding! And thank you for the kind words
Congratulations on the wedding my dude!
Congrats!!!
@@RTGameI think you just got hit with the world's most powerful, "want to feel old," meme.
Congratulations for your engagement and future wedding!!! I hope it is the most magical day for you and your partner or partners. Best wishes to you 🎉
If you were quick enough you could have saved Sergiu Eliza would have then sent you a thank you. They would also have planned to name their first son after you
I honestly didn't expect him to get a good ending lol
There's actually a really-well made short film of this game. It's only 10 minutes but the acting is great and the set design nails the tone of the game
the actor who did the inspector passed away some time ago :(
this is the scariest game you could play on friday the 13th, a game about the horrors of working a dead-end job to make ends meet where every day presents the threat of losing everything you've ever worked for
Once I realized you could deny entry without highlighting discrepancies (Until late into the game), the game turned me into a monster without me even noticing.
Glad to see Dan's disregard for human life is doing just fine still.
i find it hilarious that RT wonders why his son keeps getting sick, yet hes not giving him food and heat everyday despite being able to afford it
Who let this man be in charge of border security?
Literally fate
He's the wrong guy! Wheres the border inspector?
apparently the creator of this game though picking jobs randomly was a good idea
I seriously did not think RT would get any good ending at all, so that was a welcome surprise
Watching Rt shoot the dude without the gun, getting the guard killed was depressing
I think that was a grenadier--if he had gotten close, he would've thrown a grenade that killed all three of them. It wasn't necessarily the wrong choice; RT just wasn't fast enough to pull it off.
Can confirm from my first run I got the shooters but the grenade guy got to throw one before I got him. Saved Sergiu second run but failed one of the other guards. Incidentally, people say the ezic rifle is better than the tranq at aiming.
What a fun indie game this is. It’s inspired fan movies, and it’s got such a fun soundtrack. The characters and world building are so beautiful. Man, this game is great.
This was such a fun stream 🥳 rip to Sergiu and our horrible, sickly son
I love RT being a loyal Ezic agent, fucking up two tasks, then immediately booking it.
Jorji is the legend, he is the moment
i'm impressed he managed to go 10 years without papers please or one of its many clones, i swear there's one for every country, fantasy and even space, hell there's even a porn version of this game in existence
w. what do you mean theres even a. okay sure theres nothing that doesnt exist at this point
Hold up, there are other clones of this game?
He played Not Tonight (a weird brexit based clone) way back
Can you tell me the name of the porn one, you know so I can avoid it?
@@sigheyeroll the imperial gatekeeper
God I love this game and I’m so glad RT is playing it. I was obsessed with Jack’s playthroughs, and I watched the Pointcrow playthrough recently that was REALLY entertaining so I’m super excited for this. The best part of Dan being a soulless madman when it comes to these games is that women say “my son is waiting” and RT already has so much disregard for human life from playing Cities Skylines that he’s just not swayed. An excellent borderman.
The fact its been 10 years and Dan is playing it for the first time is wild. Better late than never
BEGONE BOT
Oh god, you're right, 2013 was a decade ago now
2nd time, dan just has absolutely no memory of the first time
How are you so dang omnipresent?
@@powering_unity6150 it’s a bot
“What, do I get a big red button to send them to the slammer?” That’s called foreshadowing.
If nobody got me, I know Jorji got me, CAN I GET AN AMEN?
amen!
AMEN 🙏🏾
You know when I first played this game, the trick I did to saving a lot of money for the family is by paying heat, food and medicine ONLY when it is dearly needed the next day. You can also take a few bribes here and there some of which you can avoid getting a citation from if you’re able to detain the person bribing you or possibly get no citation for letting them through anyways. If you’re brave enough though, just let them through and take the citation, as long as you haven’t gotten your second citation already and not wanting a penalty for the third (if you’re willing to make the risk) you’ll be fine.
the son being sick all the time is such youtube moment
It is frightening how well RT fits in as a cog in a cold war police state
What do you mean, everyone knows what it's like to live under capitalism
This game prepared me for working as a cashier to the best of its ability. Surprisingly, I think I'd feel safer working at the Grestin checkpoint...
there are no karens at arstotzka
@@strogonoffcore Well, there was that one crazy tiger lady...
You have no idea how excited this makes me I adore this game, glad you finally played it on the channel!
imagine how confused the ezic were after they realized the hero boarder control inspector fled the country with his entire family right after their revolution was a success lol
I’m shocked that RT of all people got the second to best ending. The best being New Arstotzka with Sergio alive.
YYYYYYYESSSSS I’VE ALWAYS HOPED RT WOULD PLAY PAPERS PLEASE it’s the perfect game for him and his twitch chat. Glory to Arstotska!!!
Your content has been one of the only things getting me through my examinations and tests for Multiple Sclerosis. Thanks for bringing some joy to me in these rough times, RT. Its really been getting me thru.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Glory to Arstotzka.
You don’t understand. Since Ireland is an island, the concept of border security is foreign to him. He’s be great at this otherwise, I’m sure!
There is security bw northern Ireland and Ireland 😅
I just feel bad for Sergiu, the love of his life was just accepted into his country and he was killed in a terrorist attack immediately after
I know that the videos coming out don’t correlate to when they were streamed, but I like to think RT just needed a palette cleanser after detective pikachu
Fun fact: this game & the Stanley parable were both referenced in the game "please don't touch anything". I recommend playing it considering the fact that you've played both of those games, i recommend playing the 3d remaster cause that has way more content than the original
I played the 3d version and it's an unbelievable upgrade. The endings affecting the office instead of just the screen is very cool. And on the spooky one I knew full well that turning around would be a bad idea but it was still really well executed. One of the biggest 2d -> 3d upgrades I've ever seen alongside Risk of Rain.
Dan going full on greedy grinner whenever an Obristan passport comes through "I'll be taking that one!"
I remember i was there for this stream, twas my first stream being there for, and genuinely i kept forgetting it was a stream and not a video, thats how consistently entertaining rt is, it only rly was clear cause his swears werent *KZhead*

GLORYYYYY TO ARRRRTSTOTSKA! - Jacksepticeye

What a great video showing the wonders of the Arstotzkan lands!! Glory to Arstotzka!
GLORY TO ARSTOTZKA! GLORY GREATEST!
Such an awesome game, crazy to think it was made by a single dude, glad you finally checked it out!
9:31 the moment Daniel was playing Northern Ireland simulator.
1:49 "Bu- But i got Lumbago! It's really serious!"
Truly one of the games that stayed relevant and fun from my middle school years all the way to uni graduation. God it’s been so long.
I've been waiting for the day RT played this game, it seemed like something right up his alley.
11:25 I'm pretty sure that you actually got that citation BECAUSE you asked her and she clarified. If you just rejected her outright for wrong information, there is no penalty. Unless you plan on detaining someone (once you get the reward for it, usually), and before you get the "Reason" stamp late in the game, there's actually no reason to highlight things that are wrong. You can just reject. This is actually really useful for people with wrong names who claim they had a name change and then you have to run through the fingerprinting, or people with wrong weight who may be smugglers, where highlighting would prompt you to search them with the scanner. Instead don't tell them what's wrong, just reject outright. Once you can get the detaining bonus, it's almost always worth trying to detain as many people as possible. They're usually the ones who try to bribe you too. But you can both take the bribe AND detain them.
38:25 I can't believe I got so emotionally attached to an ensemble of green pixels. I was shocked to see the character die.
God I love this game!, I don’t see it around to often, I’m so happy to see it back!
Dan playing some bangers at the moment, really enjoying the recent playthroughs
GLORY TO ARSTOTZKA also glory to arson potato chips.
"No one has to die if you do your job." "Um, strongly disagree." Politics in a nutshell. Glory to Arstotzka.
Well now i really gotta buy the game and complete it so i can watch a RTgame video without getting spoiled, great
This game is still a masterpiece, a whole decade after its release. I've played it like 3 times now, and this isn't the first playthrough I watch, but I just love it. It's somehow fun despite being about these kinda depressing matters and you just working your ass off for hours on end.
For struggling so much, he sure got one of the best endings
GLORY TO ARSTOTZKA!!! I love this game sm but I've never gotten to finish it (adhd just be like that), I'm so glad you played it because it gives me motivation to play along lol.
I caught this stream live, about an hour after my beloved little pet hamster passed away. A cheerful game to cheer me up? No. Decidedly not. But did it lift my spirits anyways? Yeah. Thanks RT.
This game is great, can't wait to see RT break it
I love that he kept getting his son sick bc he insisted on not feeding them every day. XD you can swap off and on the heating but as long as you feed them you dont have to worry about the illness
love watching RT go from "turning non-stressful game into a stressful game" into "turning a stressful game into a REALLY stressful game"
Just watched Illojuan's 5 hour gameplay. Gonna watch RT's entire thing right after like a normal person
