Mapo is like those workers at the postal office that go super slowly and are friendly but you are like"c'mon!!"😂

"We will have heating, but we are not eating" - The family man of the year

In case you didn't notice, the girls at the Pink Vice club still ended up dead after you declined Dari Ludum. To get the good outcome, you have to correlate his name with the note the girl gave you, which allows you to detain him.

Mapo getting surprisingly in character as a beleaguered eastern European checkpoint officer is unexpectedly hilarious, and we're only two episodes in.

The amount of anxiety I got from the few times towards the end where Mapo just lets the time roll and not earn his pay while talking/thinking

I love how every player starts their new playthrough after their first bad ending instantly more antagonistic. "Denied, get out of my line, I have a family to feed or heat but not both, never trust a Kolechian."

I laughed so hard when the game said "Your entire family is gone." It's such a matter-of-fact message, just as clinical as your job at the border post.

Just to be clear, the clock in the corner of your booth dictates how much time you have to actually earn money. You keep running it out, and the game doesn't end the day because it has to deliver scripted encounters like Jorji and the EZIC guy, but you don't get any income from entries after the clock beeps.

I love how when you realized that your family will literally die, all morals went straight out the window.

"the future of my bloodline is asured"...secs later...14:33 lmao

Previous episode Mapo: "It doesn't feel worthwhile to detain for simple errors" This episode's Mapo: "Haha, bribes go brrr"

That free money will in no way have any attached consequences, no siree. Loving this play through!

RIP Comrade Mapo 1.0. Here's hoping Comrade Mapo 2.0 will have better success. Glory to Arstotzka.

His face when the gravestones showed up omg 😂😂😂 rip fam

Mapo, i dunno if you read all the comments, or even mine ever, but just in case this gets to you. Remember, none of us are upset that you restart, or take your time, we all do things in our own way. You will get better, those who never fail never improve. Also, GLORY TO ARSTOTZKA

I love how Mapo believes that forged documents is not a detainable offence. Don't think I've seen anyone do that before.

Just finished watching the first episode, simply the best papers please let's play i've ever seen, your commentaries are the best

*reads title* "Oh no did he lose the save or something?" Oh how naive I was 😂

1:12:12 Mapo misses the next page of the note where it says all diplomats, but they’re expecting a specific one from kolechia

If Mapo is ever interested in doing another reaction video, or just something he can check out on his own, there's this cool Papers Please Live Action video someone made on KZfaq thats really cool.

1:32:00 That wasn't a punch, it was the butt of a rifle. Trivial difference. Every detail that highlights the brutality of the regime must be noted, however. - Corman Drex :P Seriously though, forgive my nitpicking. This is great fun to watch!

Its his first day on the job and damn he was only 2 days away from retirement! D: First few playthroughs will definitely go bad, you want to just experience the story and characters but unfortunately the game really requires you to be super efficient and fast to survive T_T once you get the hang of it you'll be able to get the 10-12 people a day you need to survive but does mean the RP gets harder to do. Easy mode is a potential option as it effectively reduces the amount you need to process per day by 4 people which is much more manageable while having fun with characters :) Also your disdain for detaining people literally forging documents >< :P forgetting documents is fine, using fraudulent documents is actually a crime mapo! also hint, letters can be clicked in inspection mode ;)

your father commentaries/expressions are cracking me up

I've never seen anyone struggle so much with the money situation ahahah, good luck Mapo the first run is always hard

Loving this playthrough! Remember, you need a t l e a s t 11 - 15 people processed to actually make moolah lol

I wasn’t expecting Papers Please to be one of your funniest playthroughs lol. This ep was great

I mean considering that you do tend to take your time and don't really inspect. For those of us who 1) try to make every second count and 2) constantly use inspect on things (like I'd check the names and cities with my eyes and meanwhile check the dates with inspect mode so I go almost twice as fast cause I check 2 things at the same time, and one only needs like 10% of my attention and time) and then space for inspect is HUGE difference and I do mean HUGE.

Mapo: Going on rant Me: NEXT! CALL NEXT! lol never heard of this game before but the videos are excellent thanks Mapo1

Don't know 'bout you guys, but I didn't picture Mapo wearing Uggs at home. Warm feet king!

14:32 I laughed so hard I woke up my dog and he was laying in the next room.

I like how everyone who plays this game eventually ends up talking with an implacable eastern-european accent.

14:35 that made me laugh so much, the sudden "Your entire family is gone" is just perfect

Mapo so quickly aligned with terrorists lol

LOVE the role playing, so entertaining it makes you wanna be a eastern european checkpoint officer in the 80's 😂

Just throwing out there that i really appreciate your playthroughs and the care and attention you give to games. Love having these to enjoy at work, please keep up the great work!

The game only lets you detain people who engage in fraudulent activities, such as forging documents (name, photo, stamp, etc.). If someone forgets a document at home or tries to enter on the wrong date, it's not a crime. I was confused when you tried to clear out people with obviously fake documents. Although laws can be unreasonable at times, I don't believe that lying is morally acceptable anywhere.

Nice of Mapo to look after his family and encourage intermittent fasting

This is actually the best playthrough of this game to ever exist.

59:20 try scanning Dari’s name against the note the girl gives you ;)

If someone has an expired document you can just reject them without questioning since they can't do anything to fix that on the spot or assure you it's fine.

I'm so excited he's playing Papers, Please! I'm gonna love the time he's reacting to the bonkers plot for the first time.

You're probably already done with the game, but you really need to be faster processing the passports. You should definitely pause the game when you want to talk to us and cannot concentrate on the game ;)

A good duvet and a woolen sweater and who needs heat. Sincerely, an Icelander. 🤣 In all seriousness, I am having so much fun watching this. Thank you, sir.

Poor Mapo, it happens, this game is very brutal.

that silence after 14:31..... lol

Oh, i have money now! Haha, yeah...

Time for: RUTHLESS EFFICIENCY!

Absolutely adoring your commentary this playthrough, cracking me up each episode

you’re being a very pleasant border officer but this is the slowest gameplay i’ve ever seen, my anxiety is through the roof 😅

**living in poverty** **sees sketchy shit on the daily** **gets a mysterious 1k** "Great news!" lol

There is a very specific way you can manipulate expenses to actually save up money, game can be very ruthless if you don't use it but finding it out is part of the fun so here is hoping you will catch up on it soon Or maybe you already discovered it, nice, now time to save up for all those upgrades

Yaay! More papers, please! Thanks a lot for this walkthrough. Love this game and your take on it is hilarious! 😂❤

intermittent fasting lol

I chuckled so much listening to you roleplaying haha

RIP MapoSon, glory to Arstotzka! 🤣

Great stuff. Loving this playthrough. Funny stuff. Good bits.

Dude, I love your humor. Glad I found your channel. It's good stuff.

Love this more than i expected (because i thought this game would just stress me with all the things to look after) its really fun to watch

Glory to Arstotzka!

Loving this playthrough

Does this mean we’re gonna get Return of The Obra Dinn? For the record I don’t know how well it will transfer to a let’s play, but if anyone can make it enjoyable to watch, it’s Mapo.

5:33 you’re overthinking it. When they correct themselves on their purpose or duration of visit, you’re supposed to believe the new information. Anything further than that is not your problem anymore. Also, about detaining the ones with wrong passport numbers. Yeah, you’re not obligated to arrest them, but following real life logic that could raise a suspicion of document forgery, which is a felony. I’m not saying you should do that, just explaining why the game proposes this option

Finally he starts thinking like a proper communist! We heating, but we no eating XD

eagerly awaiting each episode of this

reallly nice mapo! i would love to get inmerse in the history like you do haha!

This is a great playthrough. NEXT!

14:26 - Really can't ask for better timing than that, can you? =P Super-fun stuff =D

Such fun to watch!

1:16:15 - The guy says "I had surgery" - which evidently allowed him to regrow his hair.

On time to watch the episode cuz in here is 3 a.m., but i gladly stay till the episode is over, keep the good work man.

you miss the newspapers about letting in vince lestrade

No one will notice your increased wealth for sure. For the Order!

The upgrades usually help me A LOT! But I don't know how popular they actually are?

Ok so a little stupid theory here. What if Georgie is pretending to be dumb and is your boss all along 😅

The plot thickens! And so does your paycheck!

Papers, Please is clearly set in the real world...

The music sounds like Steiner's theme from FFIX to me the moment I heard it

For Dari Ludum just inspect the note with his name dangit XD

Glory to Arstozka

10:48 I understand the time pressure, but I still like it flows too fast. Especially the first week or so as there is still a learning curve.

Don't apologise for mistakes n stuff. You're doing great, just enjoy the game! :)

Regarding the music, have you noticed that the title screen is animated in sync with it?

1:19:00 Oh the morality. :D

One thing: I think when you click on the NEXT button and the stamp bar's open it automatically closes, so you don't have to put precious miliseconds into clicking the close button lol

Try out Beholder series, good thing tho

16:43 fucking killed me dude ☠️

It is really unfortunate to see my own overthinking tendency costing you time in the game (mainly the "well, yes, they now say they're here for a visit, but they're clearly going to work like they originally said" like of thought). I had time spend during an interview checking two forms for differences. I checked the forms themselves and not just the entries. >_< Still got that job, thankfully, though it was unfortunately once of those limited terms things.

Didnt have the valid information 😂 01:14:13 - 01:14:24

1:17:22 Woot you passed Day 8!

Haha 8 days wow they need to give you a pay rise 😄

I got two tips! First, you fought against it in the previous episode but for the purposes of commentary I'd recommend being liberal with pausing the gameplay. As you have now seen, you do *not* have the time to be dissecting the plot and playing the game at once. Pause the game to get your thoughts out! Second, it's a bit cheeky, but I've found that if you alternate food and heat each day, your family will never die from it.

Lucas Pope games are great. Hope this means you will pick up his other game, 'Return of the Obra Dinn'.

You can detain that guy instead of denying him

14:45 XDDDDDD

1:18:53 now Mapos true morality will be tested. Can’t wait to see if he will detain a lot for money

Imho, the detain option comes up during reasonable times. Wrong name? Mismatched fingerprints? Having forged documents is suspect for criminal activity that needs to be investigated. EDIT: Also, I think you're doing pretty well on normal. I think if you can keep managing this then it's better than going on easy mode for the extra $20. At least on normal mode you definitely feel the financial incentive to protect your family at the cost of strangers lol. You would probably just have to make liberal use of the pause function when you're talking at length.

The immigrants go in one by one, hoorah! hoorah! The immigrants go in one by one, hoorah! hoorah! The immigrants go in one by one, they all get a picture of their bum, for protection to Arstotzka! The immigrants go in two by two *click click click click click* M.O.A CITATION - Protocol Violated - Only One Person Allowed - PENALTY ASSESSED - CHILD HELD BACK ONE YEAR

Now I'm curious about seeing you playing games like Beholder, Frostpunk and Disco Elysium... 😅

😊

How did all of them die if only 2 were very sick?
