Approve, Please

Approve, Please is a satirical dark-comedy moderation game inspired by Papers, Please. You are a low-paid Output Compliance Officer at Meridian, reviewing AI-generated content against an ever-growing policy rulebook.

Stamp each output APPROVE, DENY, or FLAG. Use provenance checks, latent scans, and diff tools to uncover hidden violations. Earn enough credits to pay rent, protect your sanity, and decide which factions—if any—you can trust.

Across a 30-day campaign, your routine decisions shape the emergence of the first true AGI. Help it, contain it, sell it, expose it, or simply survive long enough to see what happens.
