About the game

Bystander is an opportunity to become an agent for tracking the network during totalitarianism. Your task is to search among other people's correspondence on the network those that contradict the current laws, copies of which you will receive by fax. Follow the new laws, look for the hidden meaning in each phrase and, of course, report violations!

    It's said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. However this may look like 'Papers Please', it's not as well designed. As a matter of fact it is a far cry from the type of game that this one tries to emulate.

    When I first bought this game months ago when it was still in early access, I was expecting an interesting game about government censorship in the same style as Paper's Please. Overall the gameplay is similar, but the game is clearly filled with bugs, even months after it exited early access. There are multiple messages that should be marked as "Guity" because they violate the set rules you're given at the time, but…
