You're a security officer deep within Area 51. Scan the staff, verify clearances, and decide who can enter the elevator and who absolutely mustn't leave. The deeper you go, the less certain you are that anyone standing before you is still human.
Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Security 51 is an atmospheric security guard simulator inspired by Papers, Please, and SCP paranoia. You're on duty in the underground bunker of Area 51, where the most dangerous part begins at the elevator: the shaft descends for miles down to unknown levels. Whether it's laboratories, anomalies, inhumane experiments, or something alien—you're not supposed to know. Your task is simple: let in those who have access and stop those who don't... even if everything looks "right" on the surface.
Everyone who passes through your checkpoint carries papers and passes. Your job is to check names, positions, clearance levels, and time, ensuring the number of people entering and leaving matches, and pay attention to any oddities. As time passes you'll catch yourself thinking that something's wrong more and more, and the only thing to rely on will be the protocols. But even they can be wrong.
With experience, you'll gain increasingly more accurate methods of identity verification, such as blood testing. Did that janitor simply open the wrong door, or are they a spy for an enemy government? Or are they not even human? When in doubt, quarantine the suspect. Sometimes you'll make mistakes and lock up an ordinary employee, and sometimes you'll find a titanium cell ripped open from the inside. Some decisions will have immediate consequences, others only after several shifts.
The consequences of every mistake go far beyond issues in the workplace. Let the wrong person out, and the infection will ravage the city. Isolate suspicious employees, investigate anomalies, and launch new operations to contain the threat before it's too late.
Remember, it's not just about who you let in, but who or what you let out into the world.

I absolutely love this game! I played the demo and found it very enjoyable, so I was expecting the full game to be good, but I'm blown away by what it turned out to be! The gameplay and story, the additions to what the demo offered, and the game performance all left me impressed! (I'm going to avoid spoilers as much as possible in this review.) The gameplay is simple enough to get the hang of quickly, but not so simple that it's boring. The way the difficulty increases by gradually adding new challenges into familiar ones, giving you a chance to learn it without overwhelming you. There's also moments where you find clever ways to reduce the time you take, and it's very rewarding every time! The story doesn't feel like the main focus to me, likely because of how many other things that require more focus, but it adds to the experience. I haven't explored too much of the story yet, only an hour or two. The demo had a lot to keep track of, so it never felt dull, which I'm glad to see has been kept and expanded upon in the full release. I'm excited to see the additions I've yet to discover! Now to the performance, and I don't have a single complaint. I'm not exactly surprised that this game runs well after having played and seen the wonderful performance of the demo, but it still is nice to have a game that looks good, feels enjoyable to play, AND runs well! Thank you to the developer(s), you did a great job with this game! I definitely recommending getting this game if you find find it interesting! Thank you for reading, I'll see you on shift!

Поиграла пару часиков, однозначно да! Очень прикольная игрушка с разнообразием механик. Да, из-за этого велика вероятность что-то упустить, но с другой стороны без этого обилия было бы скучновато. Прокачка устройств для меня лично немного была оверпрайс, панду-милаху брала в подмогу, кардинально не замечала от неё помощи, только когда сама юзала, это забывается, но в целом не взять её - преступление) Большой респект за огромное количество анимаций, даже того же охранника, очень приятно такое внимание к деталям, да и в целом визуал очень понравился. От этой игры не нужно требовать какого-то экшена, как от остальных игр, на которые она похожа. Здесь действительно много отсылок на другие игры, а также просто на какие-то мемы и подобное, это тоже подняло настроение (p.s. Воробьёва хотелось каждый раз ликвидировать невзирая на показания пхпх) Коротко говоря - эта игра как раз для тех людей, кто любит залипать в процесс и анализировать происходящее, для такой аудитории она зайдёт просто на ура)
If you can swallow the price, it's something to do for an evening but not much else.
Way to repetitive
За столько лет существования, алавар хоть одну нормальную игру сделает или так и продолжит хернёй заниматься..... и это, вы там пиндосам привет передовайте из академгородка, релоканты куевы.
入国審査のかわりに、映画「メン・イン・ブラック」風の世界観。 バッドエンドしないと辞め時を見失う、底なしの作業ゲー （マウスだけで操作可能なので純粋な作業ゲーが味わえる） ※内容はバカゲー要素の薄いシリアス寄り。
Esse jogo é estilo Papers Please, só que tem mais recursos pra utilizar, muito viciante e divertido! Vários finais diferentes e possibilidades. Jogo excelente!
한글 지원하면 좋을 거 같은데 번역좀 해 줄 사람 없음?
runs perfect on Steam Deck! a worthy successor of Paper, Please.
Ну это не напряжная, атмосферная игрушка, радует разнообразием действий, видно, что разрабы старались. Музыка тоже хорошая, в тему. Рекоммендет
