Papers, Please: The Short Film

This is simply the most accurately portrayed video game movie I have ever seen. I feel that this movie captures the feel of the game and touches on the subjects in the game better than any other. Although short, this film is an interesting watch whether you've played the game or not. I highly recommend giving it a watch. It's both short and free, so why not?

Well, this is another very short one i have to write a paragraph on, however this adaptation adapts the game extremely well, Papers, Please, is one of my favorite games ever, and this film is one of my favorite films of all time, it's truly a great experience, it's just as dark and gloomy as the real game, although if you have never played the game, I cant see myself recommending this to you, as the game, or a basic understanding of the game, is quite necessary to enjoy this film, although it's still a great incredible movie, if you know the game, please watch it! You really won't be disappointed!

For this being a free film on Steam, it really is a great short film. They put effort into what they were making, and it shows. The translation from game to film is really smooth.

I've had this short film in my Steam library for months, knowing that I would've watched it someday, and I am sad that I didn't watch it sooner. The locations were simple but fit what I imagined when playing the game, and the actors were the same way; they fit the world perfectly and were talented actors.

Bravo to the team behind this, and I hope they were able to make more. There is talent on the team, and someone must still be using it, right?

Strong at the beginning, strong in the middle, weak at the end. Marvellous insiders with known persons from the game and heartbreaking scenes but it was very rushed at the end. There was room for a few more minutes. But this takes nothing away and it was just a great experience and a great film!

Excellent writing, set design, and art direction, managed to capture the style of Papers, Please while still being realistic, the acting was great, and I thought the lack of music in the more emotional/tense scenes worked really well and felt very human and captivating. I really liked the music although it doesn't fit that well with the setting it goes for, editing was good but could've been better towards the end, and it used quite a bit of CGI, which put me off but at the same time it still kind of works and is forgivable for the most part.
