During Sony's Gamescom press conference, as is the new tradition, the company reserved a nice section of their show for the indie titles which are heading (first) to its platform.

Among the (many) titles shown, one of the more surprising announcements was Papers, Please, the wonderful bureaucratic puzzler that launched a year ago on PC. The way the announcement was delivered, and with Sony focused almost 100% on PS4 at the time, and with hardly any reference to the handheld, led many to think that Papers, Please was being adapted for PS4.

But this is not the case. The game's creator, Lucas Pope, clarified as much on Twitter, saying that Papers, Please is for PS Vita (no specific date yet), and that "Sony's announcement was a little confusing".

And why was the announcement surprising? Because Pope himself made it clear some months ago that he wanted to take a break from his first indie hit, and that the game would be ported to iPad before any console.

It could be that this PS Vita version (to be honest, a much more natural fit than PS4 thanks to the handheld's touch screen) is being developed by another team, and it could even come alongside the iPad version (no news on that one), as Pope focuses on his new project, Return of the Obra Dinn.

REVIEW. Written by Mike Holmes

"It's painstaking, methodical work, but underneath the obvious level of grind there's a web of intrigue woven into the game."
