I was actually inspired by Papers, Please while making this! I knew I wasn't making anything as robust as Papers, Please in a month, but I'm glad I did get the swipe mechanic down. I do understand what you mean about this game lacking visual novel elements and I was a little worried about that after submitting this game. I think I'll put more focus into story elements in the future and keep things like the swipe mechanic to a mini game if I want to create more of a visual novel feeling.
Thank you very much for playing my game! I'm really happy to hear that you found it enjoyable.
