This would be great for history and politics teachers. It gives off such a 1984 type game that it even works the same in editing of the news paper articles that you feel like Winston from Oceania. If your a liberal or conservative it helpful and relative to today’s political climate of 2019. While you play it you think with that mindset of censorship and what’s best for the loyalist party. Also directly inspired off of Papers Please with art style and feel but different story and world. I heavily suggest you make it longer and more potential for the player. But other wise I really love this game.

Unclear Objectives and Play. I love indie games so I don't regret buying, and the game is fun. However, I have realized after playing through many times that I'm not actually doing anything. At least, it feels like I'm not. There are no visible consequences for my actions other than the government arresting a reporter of mine here and there to teach me a lesson. I have tried many different play styles, from towing the government line fully (editing out all mentions of rebels, saving government face, and hiding public immorality) to being the shining beacon of rebellion, but I still can't figure out how to "win." I assumed the point was to get all districts ritcheously angry, but alas. It seems impossible no matter what ai publish or redact or how I market my paper. I do recommend this game though because it's good for killing time, it's relaxed, and I like dystopian narratives.

Great Game!. I played the whole thing in 30 minutes it was a thrilling play through lots of corruption and commitment would recommend to friend and I would definitely play again and as I was playing it at the end I saw how much thought and detail was put in I hope there to be more games like this!

Help!. For some odd reason, it isn't letting me click anything, it just stays on the front page saying "Start Game" I'm very upset because not only did I lose 5 dollars, but the game looks very good, and I am unable to play it. I'm on an IPAD, do you think that is the reason why it's not working? I've deleted it and reinstalled many times.

Reset the Game Option Needed!. I'd give this five stars, but I've played this many times, would like to continue, but can't b/c of lack of a reset. I'd be more than willing to pay every time I wanted to reset.

Hey, It’s Free. The game has some bugs, some places where gameplay is confusing, and some problems. But hey—it’s free! And it’s a fun way to spend a couple hours. If you like sim games with a political lean like Papers, Please or Democratic Socialism Simulator you’re gonna have a good time. Just download it! And if it crashes the first couple times you open it... just try again. It worked for me eventually.

Great game, can’t play it. Loved this game played it a while back and wanted to get back into it, turns out there’s something stoping me since every time open the game it closes right after.

Unexpectedly Disappointing. I saw this game featured in the App Store. It looked great! And it was great...for the first hour and a half. I played it four times through to see if I could get more out of it. But the fact remains that there's basically only two endings. I was expecting more out of a $5 game. Hopefully, there will be an update that will expand the gameplay a bit. For $5, I really expect a game to be have more "replayability." If I'm only going to be able to play it once or twice, offer it to me for free with ads.

Good But Needs Improvement. This game looked interesting, but I only got it once it became free. The game is interesting and well-written, and it does a good job of exploring the kinds of political and moral choices people make under oppressive governments. It’s also very nice aesthetically, with good music and fitting graphics. However, the game has never been updated, despite some issues. First off, when I finished the game and started another save slot, my stats from the last game carried over. While that does give some advantages, it doesn’t make sense and seems unintentional. Also, when I finished my second game, it didn’t show me the results of my actions like at the end of the first game. I would like to see the effects my changed strategy had. Also, it’s a pretty short game, they should add some more content or game modes.

Good, but crashes a lot.. I’ve been trying to get on this game all morning but it keeps crashing and turning my phone screen sideways. And before I had to close it because all of the pages went black and so I couldn’t read anything. But otherwise I think it’s a fun game, need improvement though.

Could Be Worth 5 Stars But-. It's a great game, but the fact that you can never restart the characters is a huge problem. There needs to be a restart option. Otherwise eventually it gets so you can't play the game again.

Amazing game. Although not worth the price. This game is spectacular and resembles the real world. Although there's a catch, The game cost 4 dollars!!! That's crazy!!! It's way to short and I feel like after the 12 weeks the newspaper goes rouge and you have to write your own papers for the rebels. Just a suggestion...

It's not bad but not yet great. The game is fun. It just ends to quick and doesn't really have as much newspaper depth as I would have wanted. Wait until it's cheaper or has a endless mode. Would be great if you actually got money for your sales and could had more employees or a better newsstand. The government idea with it is cool just the ending doesn't change. Not a bad game just not 5 dollars worth. Hope the updates add some more features.

No other endings. Once I got past the first play-through, the game crashed once I got to the end literally every single time. Definitely not worth the money at this point in time, although the rest of the game is very interesting. I do feel as though my choices impacted the game, but this is not enough for the game to be worth it.

Lil’ pricey for 45 minutes of play. Love the concept and I wish for more games like this but with clearer objectives/results and depth Not sure of the algorithm because the end is the same result with a very non dramatic text of conclusions. As far as gameplay; As long as you publish “loyalist favoring” reporting (like I assume) the game is won in a very short time and the ending is weak! This game should settle on 99 cents or more likely, free.

Fantastic!. This game is one of the best out there. It tells us a story about corruption and manipulation the news can do to us people. Plus, the song in the game is great. I strongly recommend this game.

Exhilarating gameplay, short and glitch doesn’t let you play again. There are so many facets to this game and it is incredibly exciting. However, the end comes sooner than you expect and doesn’t offer the closure and reward you hope for, it basically just has the credits roll. When I try to play the game again, there is a glitch where the results of the previous iteration of the game were affecting me on Day 1. The reporter that got arrested was still gone, and I was receiving notes from the govt. based on what I had published on Day 12 of the last game. Please fix that! Really great still and worth my money and time.

Does not display well on iPhone 6.... Waste of $5. Looks like could be fun but articles are blurry and even with glasses on its hard to read and play. Save your money Update 1 year later: Still for a game that was recommended by apple had still had lack of support a whole year later. App crashes upon launch on iPhone 6 and should be forcibly removed from the App Store

Crashing in the morning, crashing in the evening, crashing at suppertime!. Let me start by saying this is really, a good game. Good, but simple mechanics, and a storyline that feels very relevant these days. It's a game that you definitely need to play. That is, if you could! The game constantly crashes when trying to launch it, on both my iPad Air and iPhone 6s Plus. I'm not sure if it's an issue related to iOS 10, or just a horrible port of it. This game, if it didn't have the crashing issues, would be worth buying. However, with the near constant crashing upon launch, making it near impossible to play, you need to avoid this version of the game.

Great Game and a Great Theme Song. I love this game. I think it is well thought out and well executed. I personally find no similarity between this and Papers Please, other than they are both thought provoking. I love the theme song and I beg of you to put it on iTunes. I would buy it right away! Although it is a very fun game, I find myself tapping the icon multiple times to try to get in. Also, it sometimes crashes, forcing me to restart the week. Also, please do not extend the game, I am very Rebellious, and I would not survive for more than twelve weeks. I would also like some more articles, so each slot and week has more of a diversity. Anyway, this game is one of my favorites and I NEED the theme song on iTunes!

Used to be Good. I used to really love this game. The art style is beautiful, I love the story, and it’s replay-able. However, I haven’t been able to play it as of late because it crashes every time I open the app. It doesn’t even have time to go to the title screen because it crashes so fast. I would appreciate it if you fixed this, because I really did enjoy this game.

a gem tbh. i was kind of surprised by how good this game was, since it is free on the App Store. its kind of like “papers, please” but instead of being in charge of immigration you’re in charge of the news media. for a free game, it is very good. however, the game crashes quite a lot. when i first downloaded the game, i had to open it three times (since it would crash after each time) before the game finally loaded. never got to see the full ending day since it would crash halfway at the end, and i’d have to reload the game, which restarts the day, and the game would crash again, and the cycle repeats. this only happens for the last day though. otherwise, this is a very good game and if the crashing problem gets fixed i imagine it would get much more attention

an interesting experience. a lot of the themes in this game are very fitting for current events. censorship is a very intense issue in many places. it deserves to be acknowledged. i never wrote reviews for games, but this is one of the most amazing games i’ve played in a long time. there is no right or wrong decision, everything is purely moral. you have to make decisions to save yourself and your employees. you have to think things through. the only thing i would suggest is giving a better tutorial to the player. it took me a little bit to understand what i needed to do, i eventually figured it out, though. i’m guessing for other people, it’s the same experience, but even more difficult. overall, a great game, and i can’t imagine deleting it anytime soon.

Very fun game. This game shows something that is very real in countries with governments that will censor media. That being said I think the subject was handled very well. I played this game a lot and I had a lot of fun with it. It’s something we need more of on mobile. And with games like this and reigns showing what you can do on mobile other then. Games that are money pits with a licensed coat of paint. My only gripe with this game at the moment is that it does not start up properly. To the point where I tap the icon to launch then it crashes. I then have to go to my app that are open. And click it to play. I find this rather annoying. Though I still recommend this game. To anyone looking for an experience on mobile that isn’t pay to win.

Brilliant Concept. Horrible Execution.. The brilliant newspaper themed game covers a dystopia where the government begins mass censorship with newspapers holding the line. However, the game is ultimately poorly executed. The choices you make effect the game but you only have about 20 minutes of gameplay before a long 5 min close to reflect on your decisions. The Westport Independent is also riddled with program tic issues, graphical glitches, and the gameplay doesn't reset when you create a new game. Secretly, you can start where you left out in the previous mode...

Basically a Papers, Please clone. This game doesn't do anything that paper's please has done better. It even has the same systems of organizing your desk! It also manages to be both overly complicated and overly simplistic at the same time, with unhelpful bar graphs showing your advertising efforts and popularity with no way to compare multiple days. This game is also very overpriced considering how short it is. In short, get papers please. It's a much superior game that makes you think and actually has something to say versus this sad effort to be famous for something besides goat simulator.

Amazing game, worth the purchase!. I love this game. It lets you make your own story, both in the news and out. I personally preferred the loyalist ending. Unlike so many other games, this isn't some uninspired clone, it's a very well thought out, creative game.

The "Papers Please" of the App Store. This game has a lot of elements that I LOVE in a good game. It has an interesting plot that changes based off how you play and not just a single dialogue option or decision, moral ambiguity because neither the government or the rebels are truly the good or evil side, a cast of characters that feel like real people, several different endings for different characters and areas, the list goes on. I think this game deserves to be called one of the all time App Store classics up with The Walking Dead and Hearthstone.

Hope they make some updates!. This would get a higher rating if it were a longer game. For $5, I was expecting a game that I could play for more than an hour. Like other reviews have said, playing the game didn't give alternate endings, so I'm hoping they give an update to make it more worthwhile.

One of those types you never find anywhere else. This is quite the game. Much like Papers, Please it puts you in a country torn in half where your actions can change it forever. Working in the newspaper business and influencing the public you really get a feeling of desperation that is going through Westport. The game may take only an hour, but I find myself playing it over and over trying to find that one ending to tie it all up. My only complaint is that there is no sequel...

Good game, even though a bit short. This game has a really good idea behind it, that you're the censor and you can control what goes in the news or not. However, it is really short and if you're looking to purchase this game for hours of compelling gameplay, then this isn't for you.

Awesome game! Needs improvement. First off, this game is very fun and tells a fairly decent story. This game should not be $5 if it would cost anything, but it was worth the $5 I spent. This game tells a story between the rebels/rebellion and the government in a fairly violent and bloody war. You play as the newspaper who holds the reins over the publics opinions over the two sides. You get publish a weekly newspaper that tells about events that help or hurt the sides and your choices affect how the two sides will fare. The story is neat and deep and I would recommend getting this game. However, I wish this game had more modes and content than just the 45-60 minute mode that is basically the same each time. I would also recommend you wait for more content to come out.

A wonderful, story-driven story. Think Papers, Please in the rising years of an orwellian society. That's basically The Westport Independant, except in this case there is a much heavier focus on the ending(s) and the music is a lot better. Definitely a must-play for fans of choice-driven games.

Developed Superlative Skills With Real World Applications!. I picked this gem up on a whim and upon completing it in an afternoon I apparently had a perfect score in censoring content for the fictitious Loyalist Government, so much so that immediately after completing the game I was offered jobs at both the New York Times as well as Fox News. 11/10 would help foster fascism again.

Great, but crashes. The game is fantastic. It's is perfect in just about every way. There is nothing wrong with it being like Papers Please because they are both amazing. The only problem I have with it is the stability. Sometimes it take me three tries to open the app. It could be a problem on my end, but please make an effort to fix it. Otherwise the game is great and very replayable. I look toward to having more fun with it.

A good game but a little confusing. I really like the game and the style but I’m not really understanding what I’m supposed to be doing. I don’t know who to market towards or how to do that. Please add more specific directions. Still a good game though (:

Great concept, needs more options. I like to support developers and these sorts of indie games, so no regrets on this one. It's a really fun, unique concept that I enjoyed. I don't mind that it ends after about 90 minutes of play, but I wish there were more ways to tweak the edits. I like the layout and marketing, but I wish the actual censorship functions were more customized. Maybe more title options other than 2, switching out employees for others in the rotation, having certain sentences to edit versus whole paragraphs, etc. I feel like playing this multiple times would be more fun with more customized outcomes and options.

Good game, but short and buggy. It's a good concept, and fairly simple to play. My main complaints are: the text is really small on the phone with no way to zoom. The story is short, and multiple playthroughs reveal very little. The game always crashes at the end so I never get to read the entire resolution.

Great idea, just needing further development. Fantastic concept - such a unique and creative game experience! Unfortunately the game is very short. Suggested modifications (1) increase the length of the game / add different scenarios, increase how much your decisions influence the situation (2) follow through on the threats given by the government and rebels (i.e. people die, the paper is shut down, etc.)

Need a few events and systems. Although I found it really good, it can be boring with all those endings I keep seeing same pictures in neutral and Rebellion endings. However I saw some reference picture of the Eastern District factories on the lean of the Loyalists ending. Dystopia I should say. I have been thinking of a new events, wars and battles in actual armies, a coup, or add consequences from the companies and celebrities. To devs. Please respond. -Signed Daniel Nguyen. (Pardon my account, I am a male)

Good game but short. First of it is a 10/10 game I did not notice any thing that is bad the only thing that I dislike is the game is short it only took me 1 hour to finish the game I do think the game is worth the money though I recommend you buy it

Pretty good. Great concept, intriguing storyline. Hopefully the plot will thicken a little in future, as there's a lot of potential with this game. Trying to get the Anarchy in the North achievement is proving to be a little frustrating. It's hard to figure out what actually causes the North to rebel. They say pretty loyal throughout the game no matter what I try.

Fantastic game. Don't get me wrong it's a fantastic game however, the game needs to be a bit longer for a $ 5.00 game if the studio added content the game would be even better.🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

A little too short.... I love these types of games! An old setting, pixelated graphics, and some type of background music and I'll play for HOURS. But this game didn't last longer than 2 hours. I feel like the story wasn't pushed at me like it was in related games (papers please rest in peace). But the short time I spent with this game was entertaining👍🏻

Who fact checks the fact checkers?. That's it. This should be required for everyone before you vote, for anything. No seriously, it makes you think and proves a point: Everything is not black and white...which news source do you believe or not? Why? The game shows how (most) people can be swayed to believe anything just in using the media. We all think... ohhhh this has been "fact-checked" it must be true! But... who fact- checks the fact-checkers? If you must read 1984 in H.S.... you should also play this game. Actually... what if to get any "news" irl you had to actually play this so you would understand everything is biased? It would be interesting to play many scenarios out w different real-life situations.. like Covid-19. Who and what do we believe and why? This game shows you how demographics such as class, education, maybe even gender and race affects how people see things in the world happening to them and... the world. Play it. That's it:) Excellent game.

Good Game, But Very Short. Let me get this out of the way: this game is phenomenal. It has a great art style, and great music. But it has a few flaws. First, it doesn't really feel like the choices you make impact the story. I played through this twice, and I got the same ending both times, which leads me to believe that the choices you make in this game don't matter. Second, it's an interactive story, not a game. This "game" tells the story of the rise of the Loyalist Party, and has little to do with the newspapers. You choose what to leave in and what to take out, but the story moves on in the same direction, unless you screw things up along the way. Thirdly, this game is too short. I played this twice, and got about an hour playing time out of it in total. That is a little short for a $5 game. Maybe they will add more stuff, to make this game with buying. I know it is developed by very few people, and that has limits, but a couple more things would have been nice. An endless mode, a longer story, just so it feels like I didn't waste $5 on a short game. My advice: wait until this game has a few more features, or is possibly a little cheaper, then experience it for yourselves.

Awsome. I’ve just played this and it’s awsome I thanks the person that made this I think you should add a dlc like company falls and you rise up and get employees and manage money to save and preserve the company

Doesn’t Work. Apparently the app isn’t able to work on any device running the latest iOS. It crashes or crashes and just crashes. The question I have is: why can’t users get money back for apps that they paid for, but are not maintained or updated? Seriously. This is like going to the grocery store and everything you buy ends up moldy or slimy by the time you get home because it was way past its expiration date. This, what Apple, Google and the Developers themselves are doing is wrong. And all of us, all of you, are gladly giving them our money for something that has no guarantee or insurance. Please stop being dummies. Please, only we, the users, can make a change!

Censorship of its own. First, for $4.99, you'd expect a much longer, more involved game. I like that you can play it a few times to get different endings, but it's just not worth that price. It should've been $2.99. But more importantly, the game features censorship of its own. You essentially must choose between liberal fascism and robotic apathy. There are no options for other points of view (e.g. libertarian, conservative, etc.) or for fully unbiased news. There is much more to these issues than it shows...

Very fun but crash when I play again. When I first played this it was very fun, but when I play it again it crashes on my iPad so is there anyway to fix it please?

Fun, but not worth the price. I am enjoying this game but I don't feel it was worth the money. I would pay $3.99 for it. It's very similar to Papers Please, so if you liked that you'll like this.

Sorry I spent the money. Game goes for a very short time, and crashes. What a rip off!

Good!... But not for the price. 'The Westport Independent is a great game, had a lot of fun playing... But with the price tag of $8 I wouldn't recommend it. The game has an interesting plot, a post-war news agency surrounded by corruption. Choosing a side, loyalists or rebels. It's super interesting but they didn't flesh it out as I would like. Choices you make can change the well-being of your staff and society. One problem with this though. I didn't find my self immersed or connect with any of the characters. I edit a massive story supporting the rebels then in the next week, I would start licking the loyalists boot again to make them not suspicious of what I'm writing. The game was surprisingly short. '12 weeks' estimate 5-15 mins per week. The ending is weak, just the summary of the 4 major districts and how they were influenced. The end scene is nothing more than a type writer typing words of the aftermath after the 12 weeks. This game has a lot of potential. I would recommend picking it up at $3-4 AUS

Good but repetitive. Innovative gameplay, but only fun on the first playthrough (in my opinion). Also somewhat overpriced

Crashes constantly. Doesn’t stop crashing and not that fun

Ok game... But wasted money. It was alright at the start, but the next day, when I went to play it, it kept crashing, and crashing, and crashing. I wasted $8 on this game, just so it could crash. Not. Happy.

Don’t download it. It won’t even let me open the app.

Doesn’t work. Amazing that this is still up here considering it doesn’t load past the intro logos.

Boring and Linear. Concept good but execution is lacking. Not a lot of options, fairly obvious decision making. Not worth the $8. Played through a few times to see outcomes but really boring and predictable.

FIX THE GAME. It just kicks people out before the game even starts please fix this

Crashes. Crashes on opening with iPhone 13. Even on fresh OS without backup and reinstallation.

$8.00 for a crash on startup. Just paid 8.00 for this and have had a crash every time I start it up. Fix it!

Crashes. It seems like an interesting game, but I cannot recommend this as it crashes 50% of the time - usually it will just show a blank screen when I try to load the app.

Pretty damn good. Good game with a fairly simple concept that's excited very well. You be battling with your urge to report the truth and bring down the corrupt government while making sure they government do t suspect you of being a rebel. 5/5 game however it has a large crashes frequently, mainly on start up however which is Better than having it crash while Playing I guess.

Scam. Just paid $8 for this and it doesn’t even start on my 11 pro max

Great game but too short. From the minute you start playing, the game grabs your interest. It raises moral questions and gives players a glimpse into censorship - anything that invites thinking is always a great thing. BUT it is way too short, especially for the price - as it is, I would NOT RECOMMEND people buy this game AT THIS PRICE. It also crashes at the conclusion of the game. Meanwhile, GO FRANK!

Do not buy. I'd love to write a review but the game continually crashes. Nil apps running in the background. Have restarted the iPad numerous times. Still no dice. Unfortunately can't get a refund. Pretty angry right now.

keeps crashing. I can’t start the game bc it instantly crashes. I’ve tried deleting and re-downloading the game multiple times to no avail.

Sad. The game is a bit buggy: it crashed for me multiple times on first launch, and at other times while playing.

Not worth the price: little game time and a lot of crashing. I purchased this game a few days ago and already it started crashing as soon I started to play, I waited a few hours then went back on it worked and I got a good few minutes until it crashed again, couldn't go on for another few hours until it suddenly started working again and I only played around 30 mins in total until I finished the game... $8 for this!? Not worth it for little game time and crashing! Would like a refund for this as I am not happy

4.5/5. I think that this game was really well made, but I have a few minor problems. I think the game shouldn't be $7.99. Though it can keep you occupied for hours, I still think it should be a little less, like $4.99. Secondly, I've had some crashes whilst playing the game but fortunately the weekly progress save system minimises any progress loss.

Doesn’t work. This app won’t run. I saw the reviews from years ago and thought by now, with confirmed compatibility, it should be fine... but at least they had buggy play through - mine won’t even load.

Unplayable. I cannot open the game to play: the only thing that happens is I get a quick black screen, then it goes straight back to the Home Screen. That, or I see the publisher and developer of the game, -then- it cuts out. I don’t even get to the main menu.

Game not working on iOS 11, iPhone X. Crashes when trying to load the game, please update and fix!

Too short, good idea but unfinished. This game isn't all bad. The retro graphics reminded me of early Macintosh UI. The music is mellow and atmospheric piano. And the concept is decent: you run a newspaper where you must make choices as to how much you censor stories or not, and how much you toe the government line or not. But it is not fully realized; your censorship choices come down, usually, to choosing between two headlines. And how much the marketing a layout options really matter is not fully explained. Then there is the shortness of it - 30 minutes in my case. That is not what I expect for the price. Bottom line: not bad idea, but needs WAY more work. Do not buy this game as it is now.

Doesn’t need to be long to be good. So many reviews are complaining that it’s short... Think of it like a vignette, if you need to. I don’t know, I’m a busy person, and I don’t need iPhone games to swallow up my whole life. It’s absolutely worth the few dollars, people — get over yourselves.

Interesting. This game has an interesting concept, but it is short, and after about 5 minutes you discover that the game is quite dry and without any real risk and reward system. It is overpriced for the 45 minutes it takes to play. I would not recommend.

Can’t play. Crashes on load can’t play

Too Short To Be Good. The game was good. The idea was great. The design was nice. The music was magic. Truly a great gaming experience... For the 3 hours it lasted. Way too expensive for how long will it last

Too short. Should have been around 3 years

It was good.. But I can’t open it anymore. It was a good hour’s worth of gameplay for 1 run, but the next morning, I tried to open it and it kept crashing :/

Westport independent. Great game but waaay overpriced

A bit of fun... Zero replay value. Beat it twice , first time slowly and the second much faster still under 3 hours total. Expensive, for the time. At least it's not 11$ like on Steam. Garbage. Worth 3$ tops, lack of design, variety or even major consequential twists.

Not what I expected. Amazing game and it is very awesome to play. It's not worth the money though. You can finish the game in 45 minutes. Extremely overpriced.

Good. Good game for sure but it should be longer and there should be more events that occur based on your choices during the game.

Buggy. Played to completion, loved it, tried to play again, all slots loaded save data for last game despite being listed as empty--then letters appeared pitch black--and now it crashes on load. Iphone6s. Frustrating!

Doesn’t work. This game doesn’t work whatsoever on my iPhone X. Why was this advertised as app of the day? Looking for a refund.

Awesome. Amazing game!

Glitched on iphone 4. Game is currently unplayable on iphone 4 as far as I know. The screen is glitched and I cant press start or go in the settings.

Way overpriced. This is not a bad game, but does not come anywhere near passing the value for money test. It is a very short game with little replay value. Wouldn't recommend this game unless it is on sale for a couple of dollars.

Refund please!. Seems cool but it won't work, I'd like a refund please!

Paid for this but never could open. The app crashes on all my devices, I was never able to open it on the latest iOS versions. Please fix this or refund.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

I just want to say. The best political simulation on iOS is made by the same studio that made goat simulator.

Crashing Issues. Fun game, but it repeatedly crashes during the epilogue. It's frustrating to play the whole game (and spend $5) & never get to see how it all turned out.

Way over priced. For five dollars, I thought I was possibly getting a game that was poignant, or at least a couple of hours worth of game here. All it amounted to was, at most, 30 minutes of tapping sentences. The idea was so promising, but the execution of it was really underwhelming. Now I'm out five bucks.

It won’t start. it actually just won’t start. When I tap on the app it sends me back to my home screen. I will give an accurate rating when I can actually play the game.

Uh. Short, my choices don’t impact the story, and it won’t even let me open the app after I finished it once. Art style is cool. Hate this game.

won't open. I bought this app on my iPhone 6S because it looked fun and interesting as well as informative. only to realize, it wouldn't open. it just crashed immediately. I want a refund.

Complex. I usually roll my eyes at “moral choices” in games, but there were so many layers here. And the things I was being asked to do immediately made me angry. Very thoughtful game.

good game but not worth the money. if You play you will think it is a good game but it is extremely short for I got about only 1 hour of playtime. since this game is really short I thought there were different endings it there are only 2. I would not advise getting this game.

The crash. My game keeps crashing at the end of it other than that it's a great game

Good game but overpriced. The theme of the game and its mechanics are all good, but it is just too short. The entire time I played I was thinking ,"I spent 5 whole dollars on this". I simply can't justify the price that I paid for the game.

It won’t open. Every time I try to open the game it will always cash or shut down and won’t let me play or it will open for a few seconds but then it just cash or shut up and I can’t play the game

It doesn’t work. I was looking forward to this game but I can’t play it because it keeps on crashing! I have done EVERYTHING I can do like: deleting a lot of games I have updated my software and deleted A L O T of photos! please tell me what to do!

App will not open. I downloaded this app recently and it has refused to open. I have re-downloaded it twice now and restarted my phone, but nothing is working. What should I do to fix this?

The most boring "game" ever.... Basically an interactive book. This is in. O way a game.. the most boring piece of shhhh I have ever experienced in m entire life... not worth one red cent. Don't fall for this bull your money is worth more then this pile of dung... I am so angry I bought this thing SMH .Save your money

Broken. I've had the Westport independent in my wishlist for ages, waiting for a free day so I could sit and binge through it. I was really looking forward to it. The game simply doesn't work. It crashes repeatedly, often not being able to get to the title screen. When I will actually launch it doesn't register my click to start the game. I will be seeking a refund.

Can't play it. Love the style and it looks great but was having trouble purchasing it as it would not load to purchase. Finally, I got it to download and paid for it but the game won't load and just force closes. Big waste of 5 bucks!

Very well made!. This game is awesome! I enjoyed my experience playing it. I enjoyed the story it was all very good!

The game keeps crashing. Every time I open the game it crashes immediately

Can’t open game. Why can’t I play this game? It just crashes after it shows the names in the beginning. I deleted and reinstalled but the same thing happened. Please fix I wanted to play a papers please clone for so long

Very good. It’s a good game love the art style it gives off papers please vibes and the gameplay is enjoyable

Sad. Not sure why but every time I tried to load this game on an iPhone 13 pro max the game would constantly crash whenever I tried to play it :(

Great game. This game was short and fun and seems to have a lot of possibilities. This game reminds me a lot of Papers, Please.

Cant even play it.. This game crashes the moment it gets through the studio credits when you first open the game, if this is fixed I may update this, but this is the case right now.

Wont open anymore. So I got this game like a year or two ago and now it won’t open, I’ll open it and once the loading screen hits, just kicks me out.

Doesn’t work with OS update. It worked find when I got it, but since updating it crashes on startup. I’ve tried uninstalling/reinstalling, and it happens across multiple devises

Crashy McBuggsalot. I It seems like a good game, really, but I haven't been past week 2, at random this app just ends up crashing. This game has never been updated and to say the least, it needs to be fixed. Otherwise, I've enjoyed this game.

$5 for a game that I beat in less than an hour?!. The game concept is absolutely amazing but the fact that I paid $5 for something so short is the biggest rip off I've ever had in the Apple Store. Never again!

Game doesn’t even start. When I tried it out, I was excited, but when I clicked on to play the game, it just lagged me out and I can’t play it. This glitch has got to stop. If this doesn’t change soon I’m gonna hate it.

Keeps crashing // Unplayable. Running a 13 Pro Max w/iOS 15.3.1- Will either run through splash screens okay, then crash and close, or will just attempt to open, and it will crash before splash screens altogether. Unplayable beyond that.

Game keeps crashing :(. I’ve tried to launch the app several times, but it crashes each time either before or right after displaying the game studio logo. I’ve tried turning off and restarting my phone as well as uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but it seems I can’t play it

Umm problem. The game looks awesome and just amazing but I downloaded it and I can’t play it it just kicks me out when it says loading in the bottom right can you please fix it please

Game won’t load. The game looks fun but may time i open it it’ll start to run the dev logos and then just closes. Any trouble shooting you guys recommend?

Kept crashing. App instantly crashes when I opened it. Tried a couple times and I managed to go about 10 seconds before crashing.

Kicked out. I was super excited to play and I got to the developers screen and right after that it sent me straight back to my Home Screen. I’m on iPhone 12 mini.

I can't stress how imprints if I'd that you extend the length of the game. Coffee Stain, we never expected you to produce such a fantastic game... But it has 1 hour of gameplay, and little replayability. If you're going to charge $5 for a game, it should definitely be longer.

Crashes after the Luxe screen. The game crashes after 5 seconds. I can’t play the game, and my phone runs even the most demanding games. Weird.

It keeps crashing!!!!!. I really want to play the game but it keeps crashing. I've been able to play it a few times without interruption but for some reason I can't play it without completely shutting down.

Great game but now it crashes. I can’t get past the first couple seconds after launching the app it just crashes.

Doesn't Open on iPhone 6s. Haven't played this game. Looks like fun, so I spent $4.99 in blind trust only to find out that it won't run on an iPhone 6. Maybe I will update my review if this ever gets fixed. If not, I want a refund. DON'T BUY IF YOU HAVE AN IPHONE 6S UNLESS YOU KNOW IT GOT FIXED.

Won’t Open. Downloaded based off of Apple recommendation, yet whenever i try to open it, it will not load past a black screen. I’ll try again later I suppose.

Too short. My first play through was less then an hour. Like papers, please the actions you take one turn affect the next turn but only the headlines are really affected. I also did not see any type of endless mode like papers, please.

In charge. I love the decision making in this game. You are really in charge of what happens.

Awsome. I’ve just played this and it’s awsome I thanks the person that made this I think you should add a dlc like company falls and you rise up and get employees and manage money to save and preserve the company

:(. Really disappointed I was very excited to play and was finished with the game within 25 minutes... great game but not $5 dollars worth for only 25 minutes of fun.

Crashes and no game support. I bought this game (paid $5) to play during quarantine and all, but it won’t open whatsoever. I deleted it and downloaded it again too! I looked on the website to get help, and they have NO area/tab for this game! I can’t get any troubleshooting tips.

It’s great. It was fun and I really felt like my choices mattered this game is one of my favorite.

I just know that there is some potential…Hopefully.. I downloaded this game hoping for the best, but I couldn’t even enjoy even a bit as the game for I was kicked out every time or it’s jus my a black screen…. Please fix this..

let down. i was exited for this game. im getting bored with iphone mobile games and downloaded in hopes that this will keep me entertained. it wont let me get in. it crashes instantly. please fix this because from what ive seen, this game looks great. i have already checked my storage, i’ve restarted my phone, ive also checked the compatibility. it wont let me in. if you could fix this that would be great, thanks.

Shameless “Papers, Please” Rip Off. Bought Westport believing it to be another game by Paper’s, Please creator “Lucas Pope”. It wasn’t until I finding all the glaring issues in the game that I realized it was a complete rip off by the guys who did Goat Simulator. Lone creator Lucas Pope can create a work of art with far more nuance, better mechanics, and overall more enjoyable game than a multi million dollar company with a team of people.

Good game but constantly crashes. The premise is great and very engaging, but it frequently quits on me to the point where I can’t get past week eight. Needs more stability.
