The references in this game are great.

However, the game feels too much like a reskin of Papers Please. I think it should've been given its own visual and sound identity. Since it's supposed to happen in a convention, I feel the colors should been a bit more vibrant instead of the depressing grays of the original game.

I got one of the endings and it was kinda bloody lol.

Improvement suggestions:

- Text is hard to read in a small window and there's no option to resize the game. On a large monitor this is a problem.

- When you get a penalty, it doesn't say what was the mistake.

- Sometimes the dialogues go by when I'm not paying attention. I wish there was a way to display previous dialogue lines.

- There's no option to select rules from the rulebook to point out missing documents.

- A save system that allows for continuing from the last day you played. Even if the game is short, it's a bummer if you need to go do something in the middle of the session or if you just want to try a different route without having to redo the whole thing from the start.

Well lets get my criticism out of the way:

• The hitbox of the object are smaller than it should, causing the experience to not feel so smooth 
• The soft-locking is also a major problem but I do notice that you already plan to solve it in the page
• I feel like there should be something that diverge from Paper Please gameplay-wise

That being said, making a game as good looking as the original artist post and as close to faithful to Paper Please within just 2 weeks is impressive! I feel like after the Jam ended and you guys put some time ironing out the issues this would be amazing fan game! Amazing work for presenting this game to the Jam!

Great job with making this in just 2 weeks! Like most people said, there were too many non-holo people and it did drag out the play time.
I got the Ina ending by letting her in, and I have to say. It was worth it.

I'm seriously impressed you managed to get most of the core Papers Please mechanics implemented in such a short time, and managed to capture the art style so well!

The hit-boxes are definitely annoying, I kept trying and failing to move things around, and at one point just gave up on moving the book to a more convenient space.  And given how many NPC responses there are, I think you could have shortened each day to only 2-4 non-Hololive characters without impacting anything.

It felt really nice to approve Ina's ticket.  Humu Humu.

As someone who attempted a somewhat "papers please" gameplay on holojam #4, the fact that you've made it through the 2 weeks with something that resembles the real thing so much is mindblowing to me.
Quite a few things to be ironed out though, I've softlocked after Ina left and nobody continues the queue (not sure if it is because i accidentally clicked on the curtain to close)
Control wise, while dragging papers around is cool and all, I think just providing players with a simple approve/reject button would really benefit here, at least for the jam build. Since the hitboxes are a little finicky, I'd sometimes just prefer to have fun spotting frauds in the game directly rather than doing the whole drag, drop, stamp cycle.
Overall, this is still extremely impressive, and definitely something you should be proud of.

The cameo appearances were pretty funny, and the dialogue was kinda cute. The bomb event was kinda funny. The collisions are still a bit finnicky for both the cards and the stamps. Having the rulebook get closed during inspection was also a bit annoying, since I wasn't sure how I was supposed to detect certain discrepancies (birth date makes sense or hololive members must require a VIP pass) and it made it so I had to remember what all the rules were.

Unfortunately I did run into a major bug where I got stuck at the end of 14/09/1999. The game won't continue after the line closes. It does capture the feeling of Papers Please for hololive though, so good work adapting the animation into a game! Just might have been out of scope for a single person to do.

As far as capturing the feeling of "Papers, Please but Hololive", you all did great. Although I will say that gameplay-wise that's not even that challenging at all if it's just a straight up clone of Papers, Please. That said, it still does well in that making it about standing in line for a con makes for a pretty good parody of Papers, Please anyway. The cameo appearances are pretty good too. Those were funny.

My main criticisms with this game lie in how too close aspects of it was to Papers, Please. They're minor details, like the sprite for the crowd or the main theme getting blatantly ripped off. Small things that I felt would not have been too hard to make into your own (although, I can still forgive the song part if none of you can make music; a better compromise would maybe have been to just adapt a Hololive song, since yall went through the trouble anyway of redoing the Papers, Please main theme).

I'm sure you've been told several times in the other comments that the collision detection area for picking up the ID and ticket is a little jank. I think it's concentrated in the middle and you can't pick up the cards around the edge. The stamp's collision is also so far up where the handle is and maybe a little too small. Anyway, what I mean is that you have to be too precise to do anything a the workstation. Minor bug maybe(?) with how out of 30mins of gameplay, only 3 people had wrong details on their cards (and one of them was even scripted, so really it was just 2). I don't know if that was a message that Hololive con goers are all honest and upstanding people who wouldn't try to fake documents to sneak into a Hololive convention. Also in one of the days Kronii was standing in the booth, but as the roll-up shade went up Kronii immediately walked out without saying anything. That may have been an event and it might have been bugged into ending prematurely.

Anyway, fun idea for a game—adapting someone's fan animation into a fan game. Works for the most part. Good job to everyone involved.

I knew in my heart of hearts that, once I saw Emico's multi-part animation parody of papers please, that it would come to life as a fan game... and here we are, a prototype done in Godot no less 😌🙏 -- this is awesome for a two-week span of development!

- I think you all did really well to nail the look and feel of the original game! the sounds present, the menu music, the newspapers and intro cutscene, and the atmosphere gives me all of it very goodly

- the card and book hitboxes are a little finicky at times! I find good success grabbing at the center of cards, but the full box would be easier on UX! (though I do know drag-drop is hard enough to implement in 2D for some reason LOL)

- I would've expected the book to stay open for popping some discrepancies that are likely just not yet implemented, but it closes when the inspect tool is brought open... not sure if bug or intentional atm! was hard to call out gooba on her wonderfully crafted ID 😂

- wonder if you'll add more of the discrepancy types! e.g. putting faces on ID cards, etc

- I noticed after some time that the background audio would stop after its long runtime, instead of looping on the audio player... wondering if that's a bug?

- possible mild bug (or just unimplemented lines) on 14/09/1999 with guard kronii, whom I saw was there for a split second before walking away

- I did experience a pretty interesting bug on 15/09/1999 (the day after I let Ina through), where time passed but nobody actually walked up to the gate (= the time I spent writing all this), and then once the day ended, I was stuck on a black screen... I either reached the end, or must've been smitten by the yagoo 😔

all around, heck yeah... I would love to see this continue to be built out and then shared with the broader community! happy to lend Godot or programming expertise if you ever find something really tricky to do -- thank you for participating and baking this delectable cake! 🙇‍♂️

Game does work for me but I have this issue where I can't move the cards sometimes. I'm impressed that you've got the talent to sit down and recreate papers please in two weeks, but you've got to spin it more! Distinguish it more from it's source material! Make it more *Hololive*! 

Good work though.

EDIT; game works great now. like the other person mentioned had a bit of trouble with collisions to. But other than that everything from the homage, the theme and characters was GREAT. Made a mistake early on with letting marine in without a VIP pass haha. But still loads of fun.

Loved the intro and what i saw of the main game. But the main game didn't trigger. I was stuck in the booth and no one came up. 

Still love the idea and the stamps haha. 

(Note, I'm using linux so issue may have just been my windows -> linux app)
