Note

I sit down in your inbox and begin making horrible sounds coughing up a hairball. sory.

Papers, Please is a single player puzzle simulation game originally released in August 2013 for Microsoft Windows and OS X, and Linux in February 2014, and iOS in December 2014, and PS Vita announced in August 2014 and released December 2017 (what a wait time... I'd start biting off my own arm) and for Android and a new port for iOS in August 2022.

The preface of the game is Player becoming a border crossing immigration officer at Grestin Border Checkpoint in 1982 Arstotzka, which is like. a dystopian Eastern Bloc-like country. Which is not on good political terms with its neighboring countries. Player is. well the immigration officer at a migration checkpoint. Player must review each person's passports and supporting documents/paperwork (which becomes more elaborate and tedious as the game goes on) and decide whether to let approve or deny entry. You also have to make sure you have enough money so you/your family doesn't freeze/starve to death :3 Essentially reviewing paperwork for fun. It sounds so incredibly tedious Looking at this game isn't enough I need to print it out and eat it (/positive).

At the start of the game, Arstotzka has recently ended like. a 6? year war with the neighboring country, Kolechia. But like. Not On Great Terms With Everyone. High political tension. lemme get a map hang on

I hold this up to you. Also listing all the issuing cities plus Arstotzka's districts The issuing cities must be valid and sometimes the districts are relevant :3

As the days go on, you get a bunch of tools to help determine if all documents are in order. In addition to accepting or denying entry, you can also detain people, such as wanted criminals, terrorists, smugglers, and people with forged/stolen documents, or paperwork that is otherwise invalid.

Every in-game day, Player is given specific rules on what documentation is required for entrance and other miscellaneous rules for entry. Which. Grow progressively more complex as the days go on :3

I believe? You get paid $5 based on how many people you let in, and get two warnings and after that, fined $5 for every person you let in with incorrect/missing paperwork or person you deny with correct paperwork.

At the beginning of the game, it briefly explains the background leading up to the first day. Player receives a letter stating that their name was pulled in the October labor lottery (1982), and they are to report to the Ministry of Admission at Grestin Border Checkpoint immediately. Player and their family will be provided with a class-8 apartment in East Grestin.

The game starts on November 23, 1982. The first day conditions are Entrants must have a passport and Entry is restricted to returning Arstotzkan citizens; Deny all foreigners.

On the first day, the inspector's booth is equipped with the audio transcript, scale monitor, the lines on the back wall to check height, rulebook, time and date, and bulletin storage, as well as the shutter switch and the counter. You begin calling people to the inspection booth by clicking the announcement button :3 and greets each entrant with "Papers, please." (roll credits)

Day 1, pretty boring. All of the documentation that appears on this day is correct.

Rent is $20, plus heat $10, and food $5 for everyone living (you start with 4, so $20, Inspector's wife, son, mother-in-law, and uncle). Rent is non-negotiable, but you can choose not to get heat or food for a bit ^^ but if you do this too often your family will get sick and die. You can provide them with medicine ($5) if they get sick.

Day 2, Inspection hardware is now installed, so you can click a button to ask entrants about discrepancies. Foreigners are allowed entry now, Entrants must have a passport, and all documents must be current.

Here is where you start getting incorrect information on passports. You get fined $15 for every entrant you let in with incorrect paperwork, notified by a pink slip that prints a few moments once you've let them in

The day is cut short by a terrorist attack. One terrorist and one guard are killed.

Day 3, Foreigners must have a valid entry ticket (date). This is the date you first meet the reoccurring character Jorji Costava, which is the 8th entrant. He shows up without a passport and you have to deny him entry.

Day 4, In addition to the above, Arstotzkan citizens must have an ID card, Foreigners required to have an entry permit (name, passport number, purpose, duration, date), entry tickets are no longer sufficient. This date you begin having discrepancies with entrant statements and must begin using the audio transcript, and you are able to verify fingerprints. Rent has increased to $20 at the end of the day.

Jorji returns with a crudely forged passport and no entry permit.

Day 5, Rules stay the same. Player is given a list of wanted criminals and is able to detain criminals and people with incorrect paperwork (or can simply deny them). Booth upgrade available at the end of the day, Space key to toggle inspect, $5

3rd entrant is Vince Lestrade, who is on the wanted criminals list, for allegedly killing his girlfriend in "jealous rage".

8th and 9th entrant are Pyotr and Katya Vostok. They are a married couple fleeing from Antegria as she will be killed for an unspecified reason. Pyotr has correct paperwork, but Katya is missing an entry permit. If allowed in, Katya will give Player a token needed for an achievement, and Player will get a citation. If denied she will return to the Antegrian side of the checkpoint.

Day 6, Same as above, but workers must have a work pass.

2nd entrant slips Player a note when leaving, explaining that a man named Dari Ludum will likely force her and her sister to work at a brothel, and is in line today. She asks for Player to do something.

5th entrant is Jorji. He returns with a valid passport but without an entry permit.

7th entrant is Dari Ludum. Denying him entrance will result in a citation because all of his paperwork is correct.

9th entrant will have correct documentation, but will end the day short with a terrorist attack. They are Kolechian.

Day 7, Same as above, but all Kolechians must be searched before entry. Anyone concealing weapons or contraband must be denied or detained.

7th entrant, Shaddy Safadi is carrying contraband. They will bribe Player with 10 credits if approved, but Player will receive a citation.

Day 8, Automatic searches for Kolechians no longer authorized. A Kolechian diplomat will arrive that day. Diplomats only require a passport and valid diplomatic authorization (name, passport number, country's diplomatic seal) to enter. Booth upgrade available, Tab key to toggle stamper, $5.

3rd entrant Jorji returns with an entry ticket and a valid passport.

5th entrant is EZIC messenger. They give Player a note with the EZIC symbol on one size and the name Corman Drex on the back and leave.

9th entrant is Corman Drex. Her paperwork is correct. Player may choose to give her the EZIC note, and will signify Player's cooperation with EZIC moving forward

Day 9, Undercover agent of the Ministry of Information has been compromised. Ministry of Admissions has offered services as liason, expect a possible drop later that day.

1st entrant is Calensk, a guard. He explains he gets a bonus for detaining people, and will give Player 5 credits for every 2 people they detain.

Corman Drex will return on this day. If Player did not give her the note the previous day, Player will give it to her now. She gives Player a note explaining EZIC is a group rebelling against Arstotzkan government. After returning the note, she leaves a cipher behind.

Day 10, Divisional authority of East Grestin operations, will visit at the beginning of the day.

1st entrant is Dimitri, the MOA supervisor. He will take note of Player's current number of citations and give a plaque to hang on the wall and state he will be returning in 10 days.

EZIC messenger returns with a decoder for the cipher. They tell Player to let an EZIC agent through the next day, and the cipher reads the name Stephani Griare.

Day 11, In addition to above rules, Arstotzkan seals may be correct. May choose to receive EZIC gift at the end of the day, $1000, mor leave it unchecked and burn it. Booth upgrade available, rulebook shortcuts, $5

Jorji returns with correct paperwork, however makes a comment that implies the paperwork is most definitely forged. If Player approves his passport, he will give Player a(n Oberstan?) pin and Player will not receive a citation. Player can also reject or detain him with interrogation.

Calensk returns with $5 if you detain 2 or more people. Regardless of how high the number is. The max is $5

6th entrant Mikhail Saratov. His paperwork is incorrect. Player can approve him to follow EZIC interaction routes and get a citation, or deny him and later receive a note from EZIC messenger later that day.

EZIC messenger will with a note if Mikhail is denied. First agent was denied, the next will come in 3 days, and to let him in.

Day 12, same rules as above. Day is cut short by a terrorist attack. Class-7 apartment is available, $100 (rent $30 heat $10). May choose to receive or burn another EZIC gift, $2000.

1st entrant is M. Vonel, the MOI investigator. He warns Player of EZIC, and to report any activity related to them immediately.

4th entrant is Messof Anegovych. His paperwork is correct. He asks Player to hand out business cards to any engineers they see, and leave them 4 business cards.

Day 13, Foreigners must also have an ID supplement (height, weight, description characteristic, thumbprint, date), in addition to the above.

2nd entrant Calensk. If Player has detained 4 entrants before day 11 and another 4 entrants between day 11 and 13, Player will receive $10. If player does not detain 4+ entrants before both days, the maximum on day 13 will be $5

6th entrant is Filipe Hasse. He is a football player for the Arstotzkan Arskickers and is missing his ID card, claiming it was stolen in the locker room. Filipe gives Player a pennant for the Arstotzkan Arskickers to bribe them into approving him (which would result in a citation lmao) and regardless of approved/denied, Player keeps the pennant and can hang it on their back wall.

Day 14, Daily bulletin has added the faces of the top 3 most wanted international criminals. Booth upgrade available, double click for quick inspect, $5.

7th entrant is Nathan Cykelek. He gives Player two passports with similar information but differing names and, after realizing his mistake, asks for the documents back. If approved, Player will receive a citation. Player can also deny or detain him with no consequence, and is the only occurrence in the game where Player can return documents without stamping anything.

9th entrant is Stephani Graire, the EZIC agent mentioned in the cipher given on day 8/9 and decoder on day 10. They do not have the correct documents, but will need to be let in for ending 19 and Player will receive a citation. However, this will prevent Player from getting ending 20. If accepted and player accepted either EZIC gift money, Player will have the money seized but no further consequences. If denied and Player has accepted either gift, they will reach an ending at the beginning of day 15.

Day 15, same rules as above.

2nd entrant will place a bomb on the counter and leave. Calensk will appear after they have left and guide Player through disabling the bomb. Calensk will take the bomb and day will continue as normal. What a guy.

EZIC messenger returns and asks for the cipher and decoder back.

Day 16, Player will receive a key to unlock the tranquilizer gun once an alarm has been raised. Player will receive a $20 bonus for stopping any trespassers, and a $10(?) bonus for firing at and missing. Day is cut short by a terrorist attack.

1st entrant is Calensk. If 1-3 entrants have been detained, Player will receive 10 credits for the bonus and the bomb parts. If 4+ entrants have been detained, Player will receive 15 credits. Calensk will no longer be visiting, but Player will continue to be paid the correct amount ($5 for every 2 people rounded down) for detaining every other night.

4th entrant is a Kolechian that needs a surgery outlawed in Kolechia. They are missing paperwork, but will bribe Player with 10 credits. If approved, Player will receive a citation.

6th entrant is Messof Anegovych. If all four of his business cards have been handed out, he will give player an Arstotzka pin and 20 credits. His paperwork is correct.

Day 17, same as above. If player’s son is still alive, his birthday is in 2 days.

1st entrant is Sergiu Volda. He mentions coming from Nirsk, as does Player. He can be differentiated from other guards, as his sprite is green rather than blue. He promises to do his best to protect Player, and leaves. NOTE: if player fails to neutralize trespassers quickly enough, Sergiu will die. Lmao.

9th entrant is Marie Escalli. She has incomplete paperwork, but is revealed as an EZIC operative if a decoder is aligned over her passport. If approved, she will say that the man in red is not a threat, and Player will receive 20 credits at the end of the day, but will also receive a citation.

Day 18, All denials must be accompanied by a Reason For Denial stamp. To stamp this, Player must interrogate them first, and then the stamp will appear. Day is cut short by a terrorist attack. RESTATING that if Player does not shoot him fast enough then Sergiu will die. I’m very emotionally invested in him. NPCs. You understand. Player’s son’s birthday is tomorrow. He wants one of those 128 pack crayons with the sharpener on the back, $25.

Day 19, Deny all entrants from Impor, in addition to above. If Player’s son is alive and Player gives him the fancy crayons for his birthday, Player’s son will give him a drawing to take to work with him to hang on the wall.

1st entrant, if Sergiu lives through the terrorist attack on day 18. He thanks Player and mentions his aim is not as good as it used to be, and leaves.

Female entrant (not 10000% sure on the number here) claims to have known Player’s father. Her paperwork is correct, I’m pretty sure.

Jorji returns with contraband. Jorji offers to give Player 10 credits if they let him through. Player is able to detain him. He makes a don’t do drugs kids comment if you deny/detain him. <3 What a guy. I’m drawing hearts on him with a sharpie.

Day 20, Imporians will be allowed entrance again.

1st entrant, the MOA supervisor returns. He’ll yell at you if you don’t have the plaque he gave you on day 10 hanging up, or if you have other shit on your wall (e.g. the pennant, Son’s drawing). He will comment on the number of citations Player has received thus far. He will give a second plaque. He says someone named Shae Piersovska is coming through that day, and to let her in.

EZIC messenger returns and gives Player a note. An assassin named Khaled Istom will be coming from Antegria. They give Player a slip with a poison powder.

9th entrant is Khaled Istom. His paperwork is correct. Poisoning him will count towards ending 19 and immediately rules out ending 20. Denying him entry without killing him leads to a citation. Denying him after poisoning him will lead to several entrants in line collapsing and coughing up blood. Approving him after poisoning him will cause him to take a few steps before collapsing and coughing up blood, none of the guards are injured.

Day 21, Grant Of Asylum is introduced. Entrants with this grant do not need an entry permit or ID supplement. The day is cut short by a terrorist attack (from the Arstotzkan side this time!!!!) and one of the guards (NOT SERGIU) is killed (but Sergiu may still die if u miss lmao). Player’s sister has been arrested and her daughter needs a home. Player may adopt her for $40, which will also add $5 to food. If Danic is detained, the watch will be automatically sold for $10.

6th entrant is Danic Lorun. He is missing documents but says he will return in 3 days with correct papers. He offers a digital watch for Player to hold onto for collateral. Player can either give the watch back and deny him, or keep it and either approve or detain him. If Player detains him, the watch will automatically be sold at the end of the day. If approved, there will be an opportunity to sell the watch on days 22 and 23 for $10. He will return on day 23 for the watch. He will give 10 credits in exchange for the watch, but will demand the credits back because of a scratch. If detained, Player can keep the money. If given back, he will give a Republia pin. Wow such a long paragraph it’s bc I don’t want to come back and talk about him again.

Day 22, same as above. If adopted, Niece will give Player $100 from her mother’s savings.

1st entrant is Sergiu if he lives through the previous day’s attack. He reveals he was stationed in Kolechia for 5 years.

Jorji returns with contraband, even if detained on day 19. Interaction is the same as day 19.

4th entrant is Filipe Hasse. His paperwork is correct. He gives Player $10 as a bribe and asks for the pennant back. Player can either give it back or detain him. You need either the Arskickers pennant, the Son drawing, or Player’s Wife to live until day 29 to get ending 11.

Day 23, same as above. In the line, you can see a person with a red sprite. Day is cut short by a terrorist attack. Player may either use the gold key and shoot the terrorist or the silver key and shoot the man in red. If Player shoots him, they will reach an ending and either be sentenced to death or forced labor, and that night an EZIC messenger will slip a note under their cell door telling them that EZIC will go into hiding and their family escaped safely.

2nd entrant is EZIC messenger. They give a note with instructions to kill Khaled Istom, the man in red, and give a silver key.

Day 24, confiscate all passports belonging to Arstotzkan citizens from Atlan district. Entry is permitted if no other rules are violated.

EZIC messenger will update on the situation if the man in red survives.

Jorji returns with correct paperwork and without contraband, but his face is on the wanted list. Player can detain him. Again.

Day 25, in addition to above, deny all entrants from United Federation.

1st entrant is Sergiu if he is still alive. He explains that a girl he met in Kolechia during the war, Elisa, is coming to Arstotzka. He misses her very much and asks Player to let her in. He leaves Player with a locket with a photo of Elisa. Inside the locket there’s a note, “To Sergiu from your Elisa. I love you always.”

7th entrant is a depressed Kolechian. Player may give him the love note received from entrant 5 earlier that day (who gave it as bribery to Player as they had incorrect documentation. Very silly. Icon has a heart on the front. Reads “You are hot like fire. Object of desire. Wrap my heart in wire. Approve my visa.” With silly little doodles to go with each line.) In return, entrant 7 will give Player the Kolechia pin.

9th entrant is Shae Piersovska, mentioned by the MOA supervisor on day 20. Her paperwork is incorrect, but detaining her will lead to ending 12. Denying her will make the supervisor angry and approving her will lead to a citation. Overall no effect on gameplay.

Day 26, All entrants must carry an in-date vaccine certification (name, passport number, vaccines, date of vaccines), and United Fed. entrants are permitted entry with the certification. The day is cut short by a terrorist attack from both sides of the border, 2 from East Grestin and 1 from West Grestin.

3rd entrant is Elisa Katsenja, regardless of whether Sergiu is alive. Today is her 20th birthday btw (Dec. 18 1982) but it’s not explicitly brought up. It’s on her passport though. lmao. She is missing documentation but asks about Sergiu. She begs them to let her through because her family is gone and Sergiu is all she has left.

(splitting this up bc there’s a lot here sorry) If Sergiu is dead, Player will tell her that and Elisa will walk back to the West Grestin side of the border even if her passport is approved.

If Sergiu is alive and Player approves her, she and Sergiu will have this really cute reunion animation. I don’t cry every time I think about it I promise (<lying)

Player can choose whether or not to return the locket to Elisa, and she will not mention it regardless. If Player does not return it, Sergiu will return to take it the next day. If Elisa is approved and Sergiu survives the attack, Sergiu will be reassigned and Elisa will give Player 100 credits. Oh. Also. Player will still get a citation for approving her. The playthrough I’m watching denied Elisa so I’m sad a very normal amount. Btw her dialogue after getting denied is “I am denied? I understand. Please, tell Sergiu I will always love him. We will be together in another life.”

Day 27, Entry Permit and ID Supplement have been replaced by an Access Permit.

7th entrant is Kordon Kallo. Diplomat. If approved, Player may confiscate his passport to give to Kordon Kallo Impersonator to support EZIC. Regardless of confiscation, Impersonator will be entrant 9. If denied, Impersonator will not show.

Day 28, confiscate all Arstotzkan passports. Do not confiscate foreign passports. Day is cut short by a terrorist attack, one from the Arstotzkan side of the border. The MOI confiscated Player’s family’s passports.

Day 29, Government workers will be subjected to thorough information audit. Involvement with unauthorized groups is grounds for immediate arrest. Player’s audit is on December 24th (which would be day 32). Player’s Wife found an old family photo. Player can escape to Oberstan by themself.

1st entrant is the MOI guy again. Idk. He says nothing important.

Jorji returns and suggests to forge passports and flee to Oberstan with his family. To do this, Player must provide enough confiscated Oberstan passports for them and their family, along with $25 per person. Jorji gives Player his passport (you can’t refuse btw) (you get a citation for this regardless of whether you accept or deny him for unauthorized confiscation) and he asks for his flyer back.

8th entrant is an unnamed man (labeled vengeful father). He gives Player a photo of his daughter, Julia, and explains that the man who killed her, Simon Wenz, will be passing through on day 30, and to confiscate his passport so he can kill him. If Player does, he will give player a United Federation pin and the next day on the news, the murderer was found dead in a “confusing mess” ^w^

Day 30, same as above

1st entrant is the MOA supervisor again. He comments on the citations but no more plaques.

3rd entrant Simon Wenz. He is on the wanted criminal list. Player can either detain him or confiscate his passport and let him through and help Vengeful Father.

Vengeful Father returns and Player can give him the confiscated passport, but must confiscate it again since it’s Arstotzkan and let him through. If not, he walks away.

Day 31, final day. MOA is considering closing the checkpoint soon. The day is cut short by a terrorist attack. A car drives in from East Grestin, killing 1 guard. There are two terrorists in total.

Jorji returns for the final time. He does not have any paperwork, but he thanks Player and gives them $40 and leaves.

Holy fuck okay that was long so sorry anyways the endings

Ending 1 - Player goes into debt.

Ending 2 - Everyone in Player’s family dies.

Ending 3 - On day 12, if Player gives the MOI person the EZIC cipher and decoder from days 8/9 and 10, Player is arrested for associating with suspicious groups. The MOI will perform an audit on Player’s recent activity

Ending 17 - Player completed 1-3 EZIC tasks and on day 31, the wall remains intact and Player does not escape to Oberstan. Player’s connection to EZIC is discovered and Player is put to death.

Ending 18 - Player escapes to Oberstan with all of their living family members.

Ending 19 - Player completes at least 4 of 5 EZIC tasks and holds their fire on day 31. EZIC gains power and makes Player an agent and moves their family to a better apartment.

Ending 20 - Player does not trigger any of the endings until day 31. Player completes 0 EZIC tasks. Player remains aligned with Arstotzka and returns to the East Grestin Checkpoint when it reopens on January 1st.

Anyways. I hold up blorbos from my game to you. And I squish them

Jorji is such a guy to me… like, first of all, he’s always so polite to Player? And near the end of the game, he greets Player like an old friend (and Player greets him by name, no longer even asking him for his papers lmao). If the date on his passport is correct, he’s either 43 or 53, born in 1933 or 1932. He keeps coming back!!!!!! Even if you detain him every single interaction. And he’s so !!!!!!!!!!!!! So nice to Player even when he’s getting detained. Such a guy. What a guy. And he just fully gives Player his passport on day 29? Like what the fuck. Like this is the guy that came in on day 4 with a HAND DRAWN PASSPORT like look at this

What a guy.

And I’m sooooooooooooo so so so normal about Sergiu and Elisa. Maybe because by the time you get to day 25, you’re already. What. 3.5 hours into the most monotonous shit? The colour scheme is like. That. So dull w the greys and blues and greens. And then you get a character that like. You’re heavily encouraged to like. And that character feels strong emotions??? Like wow. And w the background of everything???? I’m normal.

Oh also there was a short film made in 2018 on youtube and I’ve seen it like 8 million times (as one does) (because I am normal) [ Link ]

so what ive learned from this is i need to play the game

#im kicking my feetsies and giggling #this is soo interesting and well summed up wow #long post

Filo Rosso Lyrics

La gente ha smesso di guardare quel filo rosso che ci legava

La gente ha smesso di cercare

Quei valori che si trovano per strada

Ma se tu ci credi aprimi le ali portami a ballare sopra gli aeroplani

Ma tu

Aprimi le ali portami a ballare sopra gli aeroplani

E spiccheremo il volo senza loro e spiccheremo il volo senza loro

Ma tu

Aprimi le ali portami a ballare sopra gli aeroplani

La gente ha smesso di parlare

Ed io che invece vorrei condividerlo sono stufa di aspеttare

Quattro occhi che si guardano per strada

Ma sе tu ci credi aprimi le ali portami a ballare sopra gli aeroplani

Ma tu

Aprimi le ali portami a ballare sopra gli aeroplani

E spiccheremo il volo senza loro e spiccheremo il volo senza loro

Tu che mi porti a calpestare posti che non ho mai visto

Io che ti faccio notare

Cose che non hai mai osservato

Ma se tu ci credi aprimi le ali portami a ballare sopra gli aeroplani

Ma tu

Aprimi le ali portami a ballare sopra gli aeroplani

E spiccheremo il volo senza loro e spiccheremo il volo senza loro

Ma tu

Aprimi le ali portami a ballare sopra gli aeroplani

Alaris | Fantasy-Romance Visual Novel Demo releasing July 15, 2022

Long ago, dragons imbued their life force into the earth, allowing humans to tap into their energy and carry on their legacy centuries later. Now, dragon energy has been integrated into nearly every aspect of human life; the industrial lifestyle humans had pursued centuries ago are now a thing of the past, replaced by a peaceful lifestyle where humans live side by side with nature and the magic of the dragons.

Even humans have been dramatically altered by the magic of the dragons, with many now having magic energy of their own. Indeed, the sacrifice the dragons made years ago have led to an almost utopian fantasy life for humans.

Android 13 — Info you need before release.

Google released Android 13 beta 3 in June, and we just got Android 13 beta 4 in July.

Beta 3 gave us new taskbar support and multi-window mode which are better optimized for bigger screens, Beta 4 came with stability improvements.

In no time, we will get a stable release.

These are the new features coming to Android 13.

Android 13 features

3D experience – Google is working on providing you with a 3D experience with paired audio and android devices.

Bluetooth LE Audio — Latest Bluetooth version support requires less power, multi-device support, and reduced stuttering. This is present in Android 13.

Photo Picker — This privacy-friendly feature lets users choose whether to share a specific photo to an app or to the whole gallery. This way, apps can only access the file which you want.

Nearby Wi-Fi device permission— This NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES feature allows apps to access Wi-Fi access points, which limits the data shared with an external app.

Material You app theming— Android 12 supports wallpaper based theming for Google apps only, Android 13 extends this to third-party apps too.

Copied text — This feature lets users edit the copied text before it gets saved, just like the screenshot feature. If you have copied a hyperlink, a pop-up comes to open it in Chrome.

New QR code scanner— We already know Android 13 comes with a feature that adds a QR scanner in quick style settings. Another option will add a scanner to the lock screen.

Tap-To-Transfer — Android 13 might be adding a “Media Tap-to-Transfer” option, which would allow the user to tap their phone to some other device to transfer media playback to it. This is still unclear how this will work.

Separate media access — Apps will have to request access to your media files separately. This includes photos, videos, and audio files.

Adjustable Flashlight — [Esper](https://blog.esper.io/android-13-flashlight-brightness-control/) has found commands in the developer beta that suggest Android 13 will let you control the brightness of the flashlight, rather than simply turning it on and off. This feature was already present on iOS.

App Archive— Google announced a new feature that will allow apps to be installed in an archived form, which will reduce storage usage and use the files when they are needed.

Notification permission on the first launch — This feature will let you deny notification permission on the first launch.

MIDI 2.0 support — Android 13 will also add support for MIDI 2.0 devices.

Auto clipboard history deletion — Android 13 will be able to auto-delete your clipboard history.

Android 13 release date?

If you are familiar with Android 12’s rollout, you can guess when Android 13 will get released.

After releasing Android 13 beta 4 Google described the release as weeks away. So it looks like Android 13 will release in August 2022.

A Brutally Honest and Comprehensive Skool Review

Among online course platforms, one name stands out – Skool. Launched around 2019 by the renowned entrepreneur, Sam Ovens, Skool quickly gained traction within the online education community. This platform emerged with a mission to address the gaps prevalent in the online course market, aiming to place community at the heart of the student experience.

Feature Spotlight: Skool's Core Capabilities

Skool transitioned from its beta phase in early 2022, evolving over two years with a select group of initial users. The platform has cultivated a robust set of features, striving to fulfill the promises made to course creators desiring a vibrant, all-in-one community hub. Let's explore the key components that constitute Skool's core feature set:

Course Creation – The Foundation without Video Hosting

Skool's course creation module, while lacking integrated video hosting, provides an intuitive backend menu for easy content addition and organization. The simplicity of adding modules, including video, descriptions, links, and files, contributes to a sleek and straightforward course design. However, the absence of learning tools such as quizzes and assessments may be a drawback for some course creators.

To initiate community participation, Skool integrates a native checkout feature directly connected to your bank account, eliminating the need for additional payment gateways. It operates exclusively on a monthly subscription model, with payouts made every Wednesday and a processing fee of 2.9% + 30c.

Community Feature – Encouraging Engagement and Gamification

At the heart of Skool lies its Community feature, resembling a Facebook group feed within the platform's interface. Admins and users can generate various content types – text, video, polls, links, or GIFs – organized into categories for easy navigation.

The gamification element adds a unique touch, with users earning points and levels based on the engagement garnered from their posts. This gamified experience extends to a leaderboard, allowing customization and the unlocking of courses at specific achievement levels.

Skool's Community Feature excels in rewarding engagement, promoting a sense of support, accountability, and interaction – elements often lacking in traditional online courses.

Calendar Feature – Streamlining Program Organization

Skool's Calendar Feature emerges as a valuable addition, functioning as a community-integrated scheduling tool. Visualize it as your personal Google Calendar embedded within the platform, enabling the seamless sharing of upcoming group calls, in-person events, or crucial dates with members. Noteworthy is the conversion of event timings to each member's time zone, enhancing accessibility and participation.

While this feature may be considered fairly basic, it distinguishes itself by consolidating all interactive program elements in one centralized location. However, it's crucial to note that external scheduling and live hosting tools (e.g., Calendly, Zoom) are still necessary for member participation.

Mobile App – Empowering Community on the Go

In 2023, Skool released its mobile app, available on both iOS and Android platforms. This central app allows community members to stay connected on the move, facilitating group discussions, course engagement, event tracking, and direct messaging. While the app ensures accessibility, it's designed for community members rather than administrators, who may still find desktop management more effective.

Skool's commitment to a mobile app aligns with the evolving nature of online interactions, catering to the need for flexibility and on-the-go engagement.

Start a Community on Skool

Essential Tools and Considerations: Crafting Your Skool Ecosystem

As we dissect Skool's core functionalities, it's crucial to acknowledge the supplementary tools required to complete your tech stack as a course creator. Beyond Skool's features, consider the following additions:

Website/Funnel Builder: To effectively market your programs, a website or funnel pages are essential. Crafting compelling sales pages to attract potential members requires a dedicated tool in your arsenal.

Email Marketing System: Nurture leads and convert prospects into paying members with a robust email marketing system. While Skool integrates with Zapier to connect with CRMs, a standalone email marketing platform remains crucial.

Understanding these additional needs is paramount when assessing Skool's fit into your budget, as these tools can collectively amount to approximately $100 per month.

User Experience: Navigating the Skool Interface

Skool places a premium on simplicity and user-friendly design. Upon entering the platform, both administrators and end-users encounter an interface characterized by clarity and conciseness. The backend mirrors the end-user experience, ensuring seamless navigation through various features using easily accessible tabs.

For new members, a panel on the right-hand side offers a quick overview of the community, providing basic information and helpful links. The course user experience is equally polished, with a sidebar aiding in curriculum navigation and central content display.

In terms of the learning curve, Skool distinguishes itself as one of the easiest platforms to set up and manage. The Settings panel offers intuitive configurations, simplifying customization for administrators. Skool lives up to its promise of delivering a straightforward solution for seamlessly combining community and courses within a single platform.

Skool Pricing

Skool adopts a straightforward approach in it's pricing structure. Currently, there exists a single plan, priced at $99 per month per group. Each group encompasses an unlimited number of members, a community, a classroom with limitless courses, and a fully integrated calendar. If the need arises for multiple groups, an additional $99 per month is required for each.

Prospective users can initiate their journey with Skool through a 14-day trial, offering a glimpse into the platform's capabilities before committing to a subscription. While Skool positions itself as a mid-range option in comparison to similar platforms like Circle, Mighty Networks, or Kajabi, it's crucial to factor in additional tools and their associated costs when evaluating the overall budgetary impact.

The simplicity of Skool's pricing model is advantageous, providing transparency for users and facilitating an easy entry point with the trial period.

Support & Community: Navigating Assistance Channels

Skool's support system is characterized by a lack of live chat functionality at present. However, users can engage with support through a dedicated email channel. The absence of live chat may be mitigated by the platform's simplicity, reducing the need for extensive technical support.

An interesting aspect of Skool's support ecosystem is its active community comprising fellow members and users. This community serves as a valuable resource for query resolution and collaborative problem-solving. Additionally, a quick introduction course recorded by Sam Ovens himself within the community can guide users through the platform's basics.

While the current support structure is functional, the possibility of real-time chat support in the future could enhance the overall user experience, especially as the platform continues to evolve.

Start Your Own Community on Skool

Final Thoughts

As we draw the curtain on this comprehensive rSkool review, the platform emerges as a promising solution for course creators seeking a unified space for community building and course delivery. Born from the vision of Sam Ovens in 2019, Skool has evolved into a dynamic platform with a distinct focus on community engagement.

Skool's strengths lie in its:

Robust Community Feature: The platform excels in fostering engagement, accountability, and gamification, offering a unique blend rarely found in conventional online courses.

Simplified User Experience: Skool's commitment to simplicity shines through its user-friendly interface, making it easy for both administrators and members to navigate the platform seamlessly.

Transparent Pricing Model: With a straightforward pricing structure, Skool provides clarity to users, ensuring they understand the cost implications before committing.

However, there are areas where Skool can evolve:

Enhanced Learning Tools: The current absence of certain learning tools like quizzes and assessments may be a limitation for course creators with specific requirements.

Real-time Support: While the active community compensates for the lack of live chat support, the addition of real-time assistance could elevate the user support experience.

In conclusion, Skool is not just a platform; it's a community-centric ecosystem that bridges the gap between online courses and engaged communities. As it continues to refine its features and support infrastructure, Skool has the potential to carve a niche in the competitive landscape of online education platforms.

For those set about on the journey of online course creation, Skool beckons with a 14-day trial – an invitation to explore its capabilities, engage with the community, and envision the possibilities that lie within.
