So, it's "Papers, Please" but you're a firewall? I like it. Pretty cool.

Papers Please isn't really about the act of checking things. It's about the stories and moral choices. A lot of copycat games miss that point too.

So this game needs a story arc where you become an accomplice to specific threat group to bring vigilante justice while maintaining plausible deniability by blocking some of their requests without letting your total numbers drop below a specific threshold?

That would be pretty cool actually :-D

Why not both?
