I enjoy the premise of the game but to me the message seems to be blatantly anti communist, but I have not yet played it. Any thoughts on this?

    For the same reason that many portrayals of fictional bad guy armies are fascist. Since it would be boring to go really into the material conditions of the state, aesthetically fascist is enough to show that they're fascist.

    Likewise, aesthetically Soviet-style communism/state capitalism is enough to invoke that feeling in Papers Please.
