Play free nowThe radio crackles, the orders card reads "Today, stamp:", and the window opens on the first traveler. Pass or Purge belongs with games like Papers Please, and you play it in the Roam app on iPhone. You run a quarantine booth at the edge of a dark forest, behind barbed wire and green fog. Each traveler has to match the day's orders: one button lets them pass, one sends them to quarantine and one purges them.
How a shift works
- Read the day's orders card for the Pass, Quarantine and Purge rules.
- Tap Open the window to call the next traveler.
- Check each traveler against the rules with the grab tool.
- Press the green, yellow or red desk button to decide.
- Get through every traveler to end the day.
What makes it tense
- New rules every day
- Three choices: Pass, Quarantine, Purge
- A lamp-lit booth with a radio and a forest gate
- An undo button for second thoughts
Games like Papers Please, with a third stamp
Papers, Please made the border booth a classic: read the rules, check the person, stamp the decision and live with it. Pass or Purge keeps that loop and gives it a quarantine setting. The rules come from the day's orders, not from a rulebook, and they change from day to day.
The three-button choice makes it sharper. It is not just yes or no. Quarantine is the middle option, and Purge is the one that weighs on you. That moral weight is also what links it to That's Not My Neighbor, where checking who is real is half the tension.
Tips for your first day
The rules text is small and dense, so read it slowly before you open the window. Day 1 has four travelers, which is enough to learn the flow. Check every rule for every traveler, even if the first one looks clean. Use undo if you hit the wrong button.
Best for
Fans of inspection games, slow-burn horror and story games where choices matter. It is calm on the surface, tense underneath.
