Papers, Please endings and Endless Mode: loyalist, EZIC and Obristan routes
Compare the major ending paths and understand the Endless Mode unlock.
Edition covered
The original 2013 desktop story campaign. Pictures show the publisher’s PC interface; mobile editions arrange the same inspection work differently.
Choose a route before its late decisions
Story endings reflect accumulated actions as well as the final day. Supporting EZIC, keeping the checkpoint loyal and escaping to Obristan require different preparation.
| Route | Main preparation | Late decision |
|---|---|---|
| State loyalist | Complete no EZIC tasks | Shoot both attackers on day 31 and pass the audit |
| EZIC victory | Complete at least four of the five major EZIC tasks | Do not shoot the EZIC attackers on day 31 |
| Obristan escape | One Obristan passport and 25 credits per traveler | Choose who can leave |
| Failure endings | Can follow finances, arrests or attacks | Restart from a relevant earlier day |
Keep a clean loyalist path
For the ordinary successful state-loyal conclusion, avoid completing EZIC’s tasks and protect the checkpoint during the final attack. Earlier conduct can change the audit result even if the last encounter goes well.
| Goal | Requirement to remember | Common confusion |
|---|---|---|
| Unlock Endless | Successful loyalist ending or code 62131 | Any story ending is not the same unlock |
| Escape alone | One Obristan passport and 25 credits | Does not automatically save relatives |
| Escape with family | One passport and 25 credits for each traveler | Include the inspector in the count |
| EZIC victory | At least four major tasks and allow the day-31 attack | Shooting the man in red is not a required task |
| Compare routes | Use earlier daily saves | The final choice cannot erase every prior action |
Prepare passports and money for escape
Obristan escape costs 25 credits and one Obristan passport per traveler, including the inspector. For the successful full-family route, provide both for every living family member who leaves with you.
Unlock Endless Mode
The successful loyalist ending reveals the Endless Mode code. On desktop, the unlock code is 62131; Endless is a separate challenge mode rather than a continuation of the story household.
Save a route plan before the final days; the household and political decisions accumulate.
