interesting game! the combat is a tad difficult, it was much easier to just run away from the enemies. I'm not sure what part of this is 'papers please' but that I imagine that'd have to built through a narrative, the instructions are okay, but they were a little unclear on how exactly your resources = planted trees. Also your map size is very big! but your movement speed didn't feel sluggish, which helped a little.
Interesting game! would be cool to see what it would look like fully formed! I'd just work extra hard on your metaphor for politics if you want to have a papers please type game!
