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.

Простенькая, ладно сшитая "papers, please!"-типа игра. Своих денег вполне стоит. Негативных впечатлений не вызвала. Я играю, я доволен. Хотелось бы добавить в игру какой-то эмоциональной привязанности, как некоторые персонажи P,P! В остальном - хорошая игра. Безликая в своей сути\истории, простая, но хорошая.
quite a few of these papers please style games lately , problem with this one is that the graphics are not clear enough to pick up things like a rash, i cant see it , looks the same to me & due to the faint type font i cant read the details easily because i can barely see the writing which makes this game unplayable for me . it might be a good game but i will never know & my eyes are hurting after 30 minutes . it just seems like a quarantine game mixed with papers please & i have both of them games already, if it is that then its not worth the price. i also ran out of time & didn't serve even half of the people & i didn't get the lifft but & i couldn't find the form to put the reason for refusing the entry, messy interface & unclear graphics but then i am playing on the steamdeck so maybe its better on a bigger screen. i dont really want to give it a thumbs down but on accessibility well there isnt any

Lo recomiendo esta muy divertido e inmersivo aun siendo un Game pixelado y ni hablar de tu Jefe inmediato "Joyita el tipo" da risa un poco la voz de mujer que le han puesto alguno NPC mujer, el único detalle por ahora son errores muy menores en algunas parte de la traducción al español "haber si con el parche de hoy solucionaron eso" pero juegazo si te gusto Papers, Please.
Han arreglado en 1 dia los problemas que tenia el juego al mostrarse en 4k, llevo ya un buen rato jugando y si te esperas un papers please es la misma formula pero con un toque unico que lo hace muy diferente, con las anomalias, escaneres de sangre, experimentos, defensa de la ciudad etc etc, pensaba que me aburriria rapido por la monotonia pero siempre añaden nuevas cosas. 100% recomendado
Very nice Game, it really took the best from "Papers Please" and added a haul new Story with new mechanics to it. I really love the gameplay and the graphics! The game looks awesome, I really like it. For ten bucks it's a steal I think.
Very good. It distills the gameplay part of Papers, Please while foregoing the political/philosophical questions posed by Pope's game - and that's enough, since it's a massively enjoyable gameplay loop. Zero bugs encountered so far.
Très bonne surprise ! Security 51 reprend le principe des jeux à la Papers, Please en y ajoutant une bonne dose d'humour et de paranormal. 👽 On contrôle les personnes qui souhaitent accéder à la Zone 51 : papiers, autorisations, scanners… avec évidemment quelques individus qui ne sont peut-être pas aussi humains qu'ils en ont l'air. 😅 Le concept fonctionne très bien, les contrôles deviennent progressivement plus complets et la direction artistique pixel art colle parfaitement à l'ambiance. Une découverte vraiment sympa ! Ma découverte de Security 51 sur Glitcharium : https://youtu.be/0FOXhTR44Is
