Glory to Arstotzka!


Armed with merely a regulations handbook and a rubber stamp (and the occasional tranquilizer gun), Papers, Please easily became one of my most memorable games of 2013. I took the role of an immigration inspector for the glorious country of Arstotzka and quickly found myself in the middle of several conflicts and conspiracies, whether I wanted to or not.

After completing the game, I began thinking about how awesome it would be to show off Arstotzkan pride for others to see. One day I figured, “Why not try?” This then became a personal project of mine that I worked on when I had some free time here and there. With custom, one-off designs made by hand, each of the designs were done for the love of the game and a passion for creation.
