A Chinese internet user has released a free web-based homage to the game Papers, Please titled IP, Please. Developed using Claude, the game casts players as a border inspector tasked with identifying and rejecting immigrants who are attempting to bypass restrictions.
The core gameplay mirrors the original title, requiring players to verify documents and language usage. If an applicant's credentials or speech patterns fail to meet specific criteria, the player must stamp their documents with a rejection notice.
Players must evaluate data points such as time zones, country of origin, and IP addresses, which must align and exclude China. Additional checks include verifying that language usage matches the stated nationality and ensuring that phone numbers and credit cards are not virtual. The game also features satirical elements referencing common circumvention tactics, such as shared addresses, reused passports, and references to software like Clash.
The game incorporates a unique resource management system where players track token usage to support their virtual family. A final encounter with the developer, who identifies as a user in the UTC+8 time zone, offers distinct narrative endings, highlighting the irony of using Claude to create a game about restricted access.
