Play Repair & Report

Fix the phone. Or file the report.

Free on iPhone in the Roam app. Android coming soon.

Each night starts with the Morning Directive, a state newspaper with a headline, a paragraph of orders, your balance, your citations and a list of notices. Read it slowly, because the rules matter. Then the customers come to your phone repair booth, and each one is a choice: fix their phone, or report them to the authorities. For fans of games like Beholder and Papers, Please, Repair & Report is a free one in the Roam app on iPhone.

What makes it gripping

A daily state newspaper that sets the rules for the night
A moral choice on every customer: repair or report
Balance and citations that track how you are doing
A dithered 3D desk with blinds, a fax and phones

Made for fans of games like Beholder

Beholder put you in a building as a state spy. Papers, Please made you a border guard with a stamp. Repair & Report gives you a phone repair booth, which fits a surveillance state well: phones are where the secrets are.

Like those games, the drama comes from reading. The directive tells you what is forbidden, and each customer tests whether you will follow it.

Tips for your first night

Do not skip the directive. It is a wall of text, but it tells you what the state wants tonight.

Decide what kind of repairman you want to be. The point is the choice: whom you help and whom you turn in.

A story game, so slow down

Repair & Report is not a reflex game. The fun is in reading the rules, reading the customers and living with what you decide.

Play it when you have a few quiet minutes, with time to read every notice. That is where the story lives.
