Shabbycat Jon's acecent always sounds lovely like he sounds like should be saying thing Like: "To-rah" , "Flip" ,And "Lovely" maybe thats just my etremely polluted steriotype for that society has created for british people :p
Hello, MATN! I'm only few minutes in, so I don't know if it's explained, but I do have a guess about the ban on apples. The biggest importer of this fruit in Europe is Poland, and during highest tensions few years ago, Russia declared ALL imports from Poland illegal. The biggest loss of profit was observed in apple-related industry (fruits, juice, cider etc). As a reaction, there was even an unofficial campaign "Screw Putin, eat apples!". Not kidding, resulted in about 20% profit compared to previous year. Regards, and thanks for the brilliant content!
Easiest way to "win" this game is help the 'Movement' but not all of the time and blackmail everyone, loot every-time someone gets evicted (evict/report don't let them leave on their own) and steal 2 expensive items a day.
This video shows one of the things I love about your channel, Jon. You know when to shut up and let the game tell its own story. Great video, keep up the good work.
You are supposed to, the less descript a character is, the more one can relate to it. For example people will relate more to a smileyface, then a beautifuly shaded drawing because the smiley face can ve anybody but the drawing is one specific person. The same principle applies to this.
Nirsean Guarino i sexually identify as beautifully shaded, are you trying to assign personality traits and rules to who i can and cannot relate to? REEEEEE
Fundamental rule of writing is that you need to be writing about the most interesting part of you character's lives, otherwise what's the point? In fantasy, theres always a dark lord or a quest, not "everyone sat around twiddling their thumbs." In cop dramas there's always a drug gang or serial killer, not " everyone stands around issuing parking tickets." With futuristic writing, it's always dystopian not "everyone just sort of has a perfectly adequate time." 😂
however since this is the internet where every thing isneasily taken out of context i must clearify that: THIS USER OF TH-cam DOES NOT ENDORSE OR SUPORT THE TRUMP GOVERMENT OR REPUBLICAN PARTY, THIS MEASAGE IS APROVED BY THE GOVERMENT OF TRIGGERD. i think this clearifys everything

I dont know if your still replying to comments but I've been looking through your playlist and I couldent find "papers, please" if you can is it possible to leave a link to a playlist?
Many A True Nerd well if you play through the released version, wich you should, make sure to blackmail every person before turning them in to the goverment because you will need a lot of Money, if you place your family above all that is
Oh wow. From the hideously ugly title screen I thought that the Art looked garbage, but from the intro and gameplay it looks amazing and really suits the game. I guess that's why you need to create a good title screen.
The interesting thing is that you could make a second game in this setting where it's about a crime that excact day - since then, there's little surveillance. Also, how about remaking this with Dwarf Fortress levels of complexity?
Jon, I love your content but your burning out your subscribers with loads of videos and well I'll admit something I stopped watching you for a month but now Im freshly ready for your lovely videos
That's unusual. Why is the intro almost identical to that of Papers Please, but without Artzotska and with more fucked up shit? And this totally unfitting music?
Fun fact:did you know that this game takes place in the papers,please universe? The country u play in is obristan Search up in google:papers,please easter egg in beholder
I just want to point out that when you were choosing the tenant for apt 2, the sailor guy with what I think is a twitchy eye looked very suspicious..........congrats on making what I think is the good choice! I think, I don't know cause it's post soviet Russia!
Jon I feel like if you wanted to help Klaus you could have just falsified a report or gussed it up a bit, I don't know if that would have worked but :/
I've played a few hours of the full game... trying to be "patriotic", but family comes first, and sometimes you need to bend the rules so you and your family can survive!
Btw, Alloisius is pronounced 'a loh ISH uss/a loh ISS yuss' rather than 'a LOY syuss.' When spoken quickly, it's commonly accepted for the 'loh' to sound like 'loo.' I mean as far as I can tell anyway, we Canadians are an odd bunch for pronunciation lol but Toronto had an Archbishop with that name and I heard it all the time.
Seth Skinner That would be fun! I keep accidentally writing metal lyrics when talking about things, or so one of my friends tells me ever since I told them about Killdozer, the bulldozer that was torn into six pieces and sent to six scrap yards to stop fans from getting bits of it.
Jon dont forget to blackmail people for more cash, you could have gotten like a 1000 for the drugs then watched him do it again and arrested him :) bonus money!
We.. W'eve ALWAYS been at war with Arstotska!
Bloody Arstotskans. I tried to go to Arstotska the other day - bloody nightmare to get through their border.
Glory To Arstotska! *boom*
Many A True Nerd I managed to get through even though my passport had the wrong issuing city.
Georgi!? Is that you!?
Look at you all fancy and verified now Jon. It's like you matter!
The only disappointment is that this isn't a George Orwell dating simulator.
There is actually some matchmaking next part...
Many A True Nerd lovely stuff! Both the matchmaking and that there is more of this sort of thing.
1:39
I find the dark, mouthless girl adorable.
Coitus Ergo Sum especially with the bear :3
That's your daughter
@@lindylou538 oh
This is a lovely game. Oh, what am I saying, Jon makes everything lovely.
Shabbycat Jon's acecent always sounds lovely like he sounds like should be saying thing Like: "To-rah" , "Flip" ,And "Lovely" maybe thats just my etremely polluted steriotype for that society has created for british people :p

That's actually really neat to know. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us viewers!
Teracotta The game is russian so you might be on to something there
Teracotta Also, I think you meant to say that poland was an exporter of apples, not importer
Yeha Poland! Home country doing good out there.
(I'm half Polish on my mother's side. I know very little of the language since I live in America)
legion999 exporter, yes, my bad!
Easiest way to "win" this game is help the 'Movement' but not all of the time and blackmail everyone, loot every-time someone gets evicted (evict/report don't let them leave on their own) and steal 2 expensive items a day.

Does anyone else feel this weird familial affection for the family of shadow people XD?
You are supposed to, the less descript a character is, the more one can relate to it. For example people will relate more to a smileyface, then a beautifuly shaded drawing because the smiley face can ve anybody but the drawing is one specific person. The same principle applies to this.

My english teacher always said, "in fiction, the future is always dystopian."
Not only in fiction, I am afraid...
Essentially true, you can't have utopia because people are shit.
Fundamental rule of writing is that you need to be writing about the most interesting part of you character's lives, otherwise what's the point?
In fantasy, theres always a dark lord or a quest, not "everyone sat around twiddling their thumbs." In cop dramas there's always a drug gang or serial killer, not " everyone stands around issuing parking tickets." With futuristic writing, it's always dystopian not "everyone just sort of has a perfectly adequate time." 😂
this game was made for John, I feel like he would have fit in very well into a bureaucratic soviet era job lol
Taking part in a performance of 1984 tonight. Wish me luck!
so how'd it go?
Hi Jon, Thanks for making great videos!
18:45 "I like spying on people." Uh...
Lots of good content recently. Thanks man :)
This was so good, I hope you can do some more videos of this
"Are you being unpatriotic? I'll turn you in, don't think I won't" LMAO.
This is right up my alley. I only buy maybe 5 games a year and this might be number 5 for me.
On the bright side, soon we'll be seeing games about grim, dark, bitter, desperate, miserable post-American nations.
JoshBadWriter Alright as much as a hate the whole "Trump equals global Genocide" joke you really made this one work.

This already happened.
CUUUBAAAA
You mean games about Obama?
I love when people naturally change American/British sentences. E.g during the intro it says 1st floor but Jon says ground.
Though it turned out to be a lower ground flat for his family.
21:08 "I've just been given a possible threat! Quick, go stand in the middle f the road! He must not get the satisfaction of doing it himself!"
Who else thought that this game was going to be about a mulit-eyed monster from the title?
I thought I was the only one...
He becomes a multi-eyed monster once he buys enough cameras!
Everything about this reminds me of World of Goo and the other games by that company, I adore the character and set design
I love your videos MATN. 😁
This is as if Fallout Shelter and This War of Mine had a baby and called it Papers, Please.
Just thought that too.
you know i usually skip tutorials because they're boring, but if jon was narrating them i would actually do them
Before watching the whole video I predict the dystopia is matts vision of pissing bread
american idiot- hey I remember that song
You'reThatMantis 🎶 there is a new kind of tension, all across the alien nation. 🎶
Hi Jon, please finish the final act of the Turing Test please! I know that there are a lot of videos out there but they don't have your narration!
Could we get a series out of this please?
yea
Have you seen the game Orwell, Jon? I think you'd like it
This looks great.
Very Well narrated
Jeez, you chose to play this game just as my class is reading Animal Farm. ( Written by George Orwell if you didn't know )
I thought it was going to be eye of the beholder but this will do I guess
abc 123 that was such a great module. Have you played the Never winter Nights version?
Robopig 61 unfortunately no
will we see more?
Hey Jon do you think you will try Dying Light?
Sir Checkpoint I would play it but its super expensive
Sir Checkpoint it is repetitive and doesn't have a really good story nothing for Jon, really. Jon is the best at this well tought out videogames.
Sir Checkpoint can i take my words back?/dying light is kinda awesome!!
i got it for 27 bucks on g2a
Storm thats still a lot for a game that old
you thought you could get away with it, Jon? this is the one you uploaded a while ago! i was looking for it, and it had been taken down, but its back!
I dont know if your still replying to comments but I've been looking through your playlist and I couldent find "papers, please" if you can is it possible to leave a link to a playlist?
I don't believe he did a "paper's, please" video that's why you can't find it.
He's played it but not on the channel.
Did they beat the guy at the beginning with a baguette?
Some TH-camr called this "North Korea"
Wait why the beta version? The game has been released
Because I played it before it was rather suddenly released last week.
Many A True Nerd well if you play through the released version, wich you should, make sure to blackmail every person before turning them in to the goverment because you will need a lot of Money, if you place your family above all that is
MATN, I've been looking for a gameplay of this by someone I actually watch. Have you seen the game Orwell? I played that and it was a mindflip.
The perspective reminds me of Fallout Shelter.
play the whole thing!
Where can I find the survey.
3:00 "Wait a second, I misheard. Did you say "Ministry of Elocution?""
Please continue this Jon! 😀
If you like this, you might enjoy Orwell. It's a sort of surveillance game
So if you play as big brother, who's Winston Smith?
This video had me often confused.
Oh wow. From the hideously ugly title screen I thought that the Art looked garbage, but from the intro and gameplay it looks amazing and really suits the game. I guess that's why you need to create a good title screen.
The class D apartment block? Goddamn it I got an SCP flashback.
Aloysius: Al-o-wish-us. Not Al-oy-shious.
Try our new Aloe Vera-O's! They're Aloe-icious!
Actually... no.
SamThird My imaginary cereal brand isn't Aloe-icious (whatever that might mean), or the name isn't pronounced "Al-o-wish-us"?
blarg2429 I think he just can't believe that it's pronounced that way (it completely is).
Joshua Jansen
Seems legit, judging by what little he's bothered to say.
I mean at the beginning this all seems pretty reasonable. But then again, no killing? Whats next, no walking?
The interesting thing is that you could make a second game in this setting where it's about a crime that excact day - since then, there's little surveillance.
Also, how about remaking this with Dwarf Fortress levels of complexity?
hell yeah
when did you record this?
The full version release days ago
So this is Stasi simulator 1984?
10/10 You can play as the KGB
Jon, I love your content but your burning out your subscribers with loads of videos and well I'll admit something I stopped watching you for a month but now Im freshly ready for your lovely videos
Make into a SERIES
That's unusual. Why is the intro almost identical to that of Papers Please, but without Artzotska and with more fucked up shit? And this totally unfitting music?
Fun fact:did you know that this game takes place in the papers,please universe?
The country u play in is obristan
Search up in google:papers,please easter egg in beholder
Just wondering what part of the uk are you from, as in city etc I'm from North London.
Kieran Addison he's from Leicester if i remember the podcats correctly
I just want to point out that when you were choosing the tenant for apt 2, the sailor guy with what I think is a twitchy eye looked very suspicious..........congrats on making what I think is the good choice! I think, I don't know cause it's post soviet Russia!
Maybe it would actually be better to pick obviously dodgy tenants so you don't feel as guilty for blackmailing and reporting them to the ministry.
Artificer Maestro XD
Jon, you promised to play KotOR on the channel this year back in January. Are you planning to keep that promise?
Johnny Fisher sweet summer child
Jon I feel like if you wanted to help Klaus you could have just falsified a report or gussed it up a bit, I don't know if that would have worked but :/
I've read the first chapter of that book
Piss off. GLORY TO ARSTOTSKA, AND THEIR APPLES!!!
look up jonophobia the encounter on TH-cam. You won't be disappointed
#Jonophobia
mr pete
I was watching a twitch stream and someone named Jonophobia subbed!
mr pete I looked it up and I was not disappointed
Why... Just why...
See! Disgust not disappointment
Big brother is watching... , ie he wants his rent money for the week so you dont get sent to the gulag
glory to arstotska
Pro tip if you continue this then make sure to stockpile money
You Should play Orwell on steam
Jon: This is the beater version.
Me: Watches as man beats his wife on background tv
Me: Yup. It is.
Ahh have to watch it tomorrow 'cause I'm to tired! >-
Hah if only you accepted the drug then you wouldn't need sleep
Reminds of This War of Mine.
The thought police got a ...uhm... upgrade.....WINSTON!!!!
blok books?
Are these people exiles?
(Like if you get the reference)
Why does the game start on September 1, 1984?! It would have been such a nice detail if it started on April 14, 1984.
I've played a few hours of the full game... trying to be "patriotic", but family comes first, and sometimes you need to bend the rules so you and your family can survive!
Does any1 else realize this is like the ACTUAL Soviet empire under Stalin
Vault 1984.
Papers, Please is the Orwellian Dark Souls of using Dark Souls as a comparison to every other game of its genre.
"because its always a broken soviet nation"
- Maybe the Soviet is what 1984 was based on.
Both the Soviets and the tactics and justifications used to stop us becoming Soviet.
I think the really tall guy may be slenderman...
Wow, last time I was this early Harambe was still alive
Conker The Cat Man, I'm so early people are using outdated memes.
Crazytaxi01
Harambe isnt an outdated meme, if you want outdated memes I suggest you ask for OVER 9000 ....of them!
The second a meme begins the meme is outdated
Lachlan Birch
That's not how memes work
Conker The Cat aa
I think the name is pronounced "al-oo-ish-us"
Btw, Alloisius is pronounced 'a loh ISH uss/a loh ISS yuss' rather than 'a LOY syuss.' When spoken quickly, it's commonly accepted for the 'loh' to sound like 'loo.' I mean as far as I can tell anyway, we Canadians are an odd bunch for pronunciation lol but Toronto had an Archbishop with that name and I heard it all the time.
America 2525, if man is still alive.
Will that's definitely a cool song
The Grinning Viking awesome song name!
The Grinning Viking your user name could make a decent band name too!
Seth Skinner That would be fun! I keep accidentally writing metal lyrics when talking about things, or so one of my friends tells me ever since I told them about Killdozer, the bulldozer that was torn into six pieces and sent to six scrap yards to stop fans from getting bits of it.
I'm turning British watching this
Two plus two is.....
If this game was called 1984 I would have came in my pants
the way jon pronounces beta irritates me Bee-tu
Hey Jon were the fuck is Fallout nv kill everything DLC?
DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER! Ehhh.. I mean I love Big Brother :)
Jon dont forget to blackmail people for more cash, you could have gotten like a 1000 for the drugs then watched him do it again and arrested him :) bonus money!
hi
Many A True Nerd do you like turtles
KingOdin OdinClan he liked Turt Reynolds! He was cute.
Turt Reynolds... best turtle of the decade.
Atomic Gameing which is all the more impressive given that he was a tortoise!
it's bayta that's how we Americans do it
A Stasi simulator O.o
