I'm an outside observer thus far, but I love how this forum holds value in a way that's similar to Papers, Please. Since the bar is a central location in a noir world, players make up a noir world through describing experiences that their characters have had in other contexts within the world. In Papers, Please, the player takes on the role as a central hub through which stories occur. In this forum, the Hotel Lobby Bar takes place as where users can create their own stories and share them through the format of discussions at a bar.
