As reported yesterday<\/a>, you can now purchase last year\u2019s indie hit Papers, Please<\/em> for the iPad. Creator Lucas Pope obviously wants you to pick a copy of his game up, but be wary that it is not the complete game.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In order for the game to go on sale through iOS, Apple required him to censor the game because of its apparent \u201cpornographic content.\u201d For a little context,\u00a0Papers, Please<\/em> puts characters in the position as a member of the border guard for a fictional country called\u00a0Arstotzka. They are tasked with allowing legitimate people through the checkpoint and also sniffing out those trying to illegally enter the country.<\/p>\n

One way characters will try to fake their identity is to hide their gender, and as the border guard, you will have access to technology which will allow a scan of their body. This results in a bit of full frontal nudity, which is no doubt where Apple has taken issue with the game.<\/p>\n

@adamctierney I think it has a chance on appeal; may try for later. I expect it'll take some time though & didn't want to hold up release.<\/p>\n
