THRESHOLD

You are the night officer at Border Checkpoint Unit 7, Sector D.

  Your job: process travelers. Check documents. Use your tools. Make a call.

  But something is wrong. Some of them aren't what they appear to be.

  ---

  THRESHOLD is a short browser-based border inspection game inspired by Papers, Please. Over three nights, you'll screen travelers using

  three tools — a document scanner, an ultraviolet light, and an angle camera — looking for anomalies that don't belong.

  The anomalies aren't always obvious. Sometimes the permit is expired. Sometimes the reflection is wrong. Sometimes the shadow simply

  isn't there.

  ---

  HOW TO PLAY

  Examine the document card. Look at the nationality, the permit number, the dates.

  Use your tools: SCAN DOC detects forgeries, UV LIGHT reveals what's hidden, ANGLE CAM shows what the body is really doing.

  Press PASS to open the gate — or DENY to hold the subject.

  Every breach counts. Every traveler you let through that shouldn't have passed… counts.

  Three nights. 34 travelers. 20 anomalies.
