Papers, Please is a rather excellent bureaucracy simulator that's rife with political intrigue and thought-provoking questions of morality. The game has recently launched on iPad, however its creator Lucas Pope has confirmed that the tablet version of the game has had nudity removed from it on Apple's behest.
The nudity in question appears in the uncensored version when citizens passing through a border control station on the edge of a fictional dystopian state are required to have an invasive full-body scan. As you can see from the picture below, it's not particularly sexy.
"The iPad version has no full nudity option for the search scanner photos. Apple rejected that build for containing ‘pornographic content'," Pope said on Twitter. "I confirmed with the reviewer that it would likely pass without the nudity. Removed it, resubmitted, and it was accepted today."
"The original game has a no-nudity option so it's not a considerable clash," he later added. "Losing nudity isn't too severe imo. The game has other content I expected to cause trouble that didn't, so there's some relief."
Pope also mentioned that he was prepared to contest the decision, but that making the game available first was more important than delaying its release on iPad over something he didn't consider to be a massive issue.
Indeed, Apple seems to have had a change of heart, and so the situation might get fixed sooner than expected. Pope Tweeted: "Just talked to Apple. The initial rejection for porn was a misunderstanding on their part. They suggested I resubmit with the nudity option."
