Learn how to poison Khaled Istom on Day Twenty in "Papers, Please". Includes EZIC's offer and consequences.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    On Day Twenty, the restriction on Imporians entering the country is removed.
  2. 2
    The third entrant is an EZIC agent who gives you a note regarding Khaled Istom, the ninth entrant, and asks you to poison him.
  3. 3
    To poison Khaled Istom, take the envelope from the EZIC agent, press three consecutive arrows to open the poison, and then hold the poison over Khaled Istom's passport and click to apply it.
  4. 4
    If you deny Khaled Istom after poisoning him, he and three people behind him will die of poison.
  5. 5
    If you approve Khaled Istom after poisoning him, he and a security guard (not Sergiu) will die outside the booth.
  6. 6
    You can poison any other entrant, or even yourself, which results in being sent back to the title screen without a bad ending.
  7. 7
    Detaining someone after poisoning their passport prevents them from dying.
  8. 8
    If you do not poison anyone, a suicide bomber will be randomly generated after Khaled Istom leaves.
  9. 9
    Poisoning someone ends the day once that person dies.
Tips
  • If you poisoned Khaled Istom, EZIC will gift you 20 Credits after the day ends.
  • If Dmitri saw anything other than the plaque hanging on your office wall, you will be fined 20 Credits at the end of the day.
  • Before Day Twenty, remove any items from your wall besides your plaque to prepare for the next day.
  • On previous days, if an entrant's passport is brownish-gold, they are an Imporian, and you can use the rule about no Imporians to deny entry.
