As exciting as it is to see Papers, Please receive such acclaim, one can’t help but what Lucas Pope’s next big project will be, or whether he plans on releasing something on a larger scale. Hopefully this will be the last of the GOTY awards, because frankly, I would like to move on to the new year, with some new games.
