no time mode (I cannot keep-up after a long day)

[unseen4ce]

I know it is unlikely, but I am sick of the time factor, I want to spend as much time as I want making 100% sure every guy is legit. I want to relax, at the end of the day I cannot keep up with this game...
I don't like to be challenged, just entertained until I go to bed. Is endless mode any different in regards to time.

Then you totally miss the point of them game.

Then perhaps you should play the game on a weekend or so ? It's only about 4 hours long in total anyway.

Removing the time limit would completely break down the game, how many people would you process each day ? Would they give you just enough to pay all your expenses (around 10-12 ?) - less ? more ?

If you'd have unlimited time, you wouldn't miss any discrepancy, you'd always have enough money, and any moral qualms would be academic at best - well, they already are, this being a video game, but still, the game tries to force you to make a choice, help or sometimes even save a stranger's life, or have some more money for yuour familly ? - This choice would be gone when you'd just get all the money you want.

If you're really having lots and lots of trouble, you can turn on Easy Mode in the options, +20$ per day, it doesn't mean you can just stroll through the game and do close to nothing, but it does help.

Can I not tinker with some files or something?

[Mophie]

Because you have unlimited time in real life right? :) Sorry, it's really missing the point of the game. Papers, Please isn't meant to be relaxing in the slightest. I doubt there are even any files to do that or everybody would, lol.

[Relnor]

I doubt it. The game as far as I know does not have a limit on how many people come through your booth, just when the day ends. So it would probably require some coding skills, you'd be changing the thing fundamentally.

The first day is 6 minutes long, as the game progresses and gets more complicated the days get longer too, but there's always time pressure.

ok, I just found easy mode in the settings, I had assumed it was on easy until you finished a game or something. I played the beta and it's a little different.

Yeh I turned on Easy mode myself.. I did play without it at first and found it to be quite grueling.. even without wasting time checking everything, I found it extremely difficult to make enough money and all my family died in 6 days.. once I get a better feel for checking things faster, I'll turn it off.. it's more like a training mode..

[unseen4ce]

^It is way more relaxed, especially when you've forgotten the cities... you need to get into the swing of things. I have no shame in playing easy mode forever anyways. I think I like easy mode atm.

There's an easy-mode? God! I've stressed over nothing!

*Points to "Endurance" Endless Mode*

^huh

[Lцсᶖаᶇ º¹]

Can I also get a no citation mode?

[Grim Odor]

What Jorji Costava is saying in Endless mode there is an Endurance option which has no time limit and the goal is simply to keep a positive balance. There are 4 settings to all the modes as well. So to answer the OPs question, with the Endurance option, yes

[unseen4ce]

^Awesome- thanks, I will have to unlock those.

I haven't tried this Easy mode yet, but I kind of feel like that's more for me. I think I could survive in Normal mode, but I like having time for my decisions.

You're right, in real life, you don't get as much time as you like. But I play video games for enjoyment - I expect some breaks from reality.
