You can say many things about indie developers, but that they lack imagination and innovation is not one of them. Nowadays most indie developers have somehow made games of anything you can think of, some of them simpler than others. Papers, Please is a clear example of a different type of game that could never be developed by a AAA company.
Among many reasons, is the simplicity of the game, and how it works as a documentary -pun intended- a game about a fictitious country. But is imagination enough to make something anyone can enjoy? Let's talk a little about Papers, Please here.
About the game
We live in 1982, in the imaginary communist Republic of Arstotzka, but we won't be taking into exciting missions, nor are we soldiers going to war with the equally imaginary Kolechia. You won't be fighting to defend your country, nor saving the world from an alien invasion.
In Papers, Please we play as an employee in the Ministry of Immigration, and we are the ones in charge of deciding who gets in and who doesn't. Yes, we are a simple government agent, our job is to place a stamp on the documents of these people, allowing them to get in, or getting them out of our country.
Working 12 Hours a day, you'll have to ask some questions and verify that everything to judge who can get through and enter the country. Keep in mind that this will be getting tougher and tougher by the day and that you only get paid by the number of papers you stamp.

Your pay is minimal, so you'll have to be efficient in your job to guarantee an income for your household, but be careful of becoming corrupt, for there are serious consequences for thin behavior against the motherland.
A new precursor in gaming
This is, by all means, a game not just for fun. But it also serves as some sort of fake documentary about a communist country and their lifestyle. It's serious gaming in every sense. Don't worry, there are some events to lighten things up from time to time, but never fully relax and keep an eye out.
This game could very well be an inspiration for other indie developers such as Sukeban Games, developers of VA-11 HALL-A: A Cyberpunk Bartender Action. A game where your main job is to serve drinks and get to know your customers. This while making sure you're making enough money to pay for your expenses.
Review
Papers, Please is not a game for everybody, nor is it easy to recommend. But what it is is a very interesting experiment about the bureaucracy and corruption of these systems. And it places us in the place of the most normal of beings during a war, which is not something you see every day in gaming.
