The self-described “dystopian doc thriller” Papers, Please is getting a brand new cellular port for iOS and Android, out on August fifth as a paid, standalone app.

Responding to questions on Twitter, Pope mentioned the brand new cellular port would have an interface constructed for smaller screens. “No zooming. My imaginative and prescient is horrible and I wished the sport to really feel pure on a telephone,” he said.
He added that the sport could be obtainable as an replace to the 2014 iPad app, and that iOS 11 could be the minimal supported OS. It’s not clear what the requirement will probably be for Android or how a lot the sport will price.
