📖 Ethical Debate through "Papers, Please"

Ludofórum invites participants to reflect on moral choices through video games, turning players into active storytellers. Playing Papers, Please, audiences step into the role of a border guard deciding who can and cannot enter an imaginary nation.

Gameplay is followed by a debate addressing questions raised by the experience: What consequences do our actions have on other people's lives? Are there first- and second-class citizens? What factors determine whether someone can access a country?
