It - like "Papers Please", has a really interesting concept and the gameplay seems sound. But at the same time, these games also edge a bit too close to seeming like work. 911 Operator also seems like the game that would depress me, as inevitably I'd start to fail the (virtual) people I'm supposed to protect due to lack of resources and the game ramping up in speed. I like my escapism to end on a high note, not utter failure; real life is depressing enough as it is ;-)
