I'm Just A Tourist

Section 1

Start

The game begins on the Europe map. Before you travel anywhere, open the passport and type your name on the first page. Without a name, travel and visa actions stay locked.

Section 2

Travel And Countries

Click a country on the map to inspect its status. Some countries are open at once. Others require a visa first.

Section 3

Interviews

Border Control

The border officer checks your trip. Questions can be basic or detailed. The exact mix changes with your current situation, past visits, familiarity with that country, bans, and active buffs.

Visa Center

The visa officer asks a similar set of questions, but the visa center does not use arrest answers. It is about approval or refusal.

Section 4

Answers And Results

Every question has one correct answer. You only see three options at a time. The wrong answers are rotated from a larger pool so the same set does not appear every run.

• Correct answer: +1 point.
• Warning answer: no point.
• Arrest answer: immediate arrest in border control.

Section 5

Passport And Progress

The passport grows during play. New visa pages are added when you receive visas, and stamp pages fill with entry or ban marks over time.

• The first page stores your name and game start time.
• Entry stamps are added after successful travel.
• Ban stamps are added after arrests.
• Passport reputation is permanent and does not reset between interviews.
• Country familiarity is permanent per country and tracks successful entries.
• The last page shows all visible routes and their progress.
• You can export the passport as a PDF.

Passport Reputation

• First successful visit to a new country: +10.
• Successful visa grant: +5.
• Perfect interview: +5.
• Completed route or achievement set: +20.

Section 6

Routes And Achievements

Achievements now work as visible route sets. Each route is tied to a specific set of countries, and the UI shows your current progress as visited over required.

• The game checks achievements from your successful entry stamps.
• Every route exists in the panel even before it is complete.
• Some flavor text stays vague until the route is finished.
• Unlocked routes are clearly marked in the panel, passport page, and PDF export.
• Each route has a title, progress counter, country list, and emoji.
• On the country card, you can see which routes that country advances.

Section 7

Visa Rules

If a country needs a visa, you must get the correct one before travel. Some countries issue tourist visas, while others only accept visas issued somewhere else.

Schengen

A Schengen visa can unlock many countries. The first Schengen entry must be the country that issued that visa. After that, it can work in the wider Schengen group and in countries that accept Schengen entry.

Visa Limits

• Visas have an issue time and an expiry time.
• Visas can have one entry, two entries, or multiple entries.
• Expired or fully used visas stop working.

Section 8

Arrests And Entry Bans

If you choose an arrest answer at border control, the session ends at once. A short lock starts, and the country places a short entry ban in your passport.

• All actions are blocked for 20 seconds during arrest.
• The country receives a short entry ban for 1.5 minutes.
• Some countries may also trigger a random tourist-entry block.

Section 9

Frequent Traveler Buff

If you enter 3 different countries within 2 minutes, you gain the frequent traveler buff for 1.5 minutes.

• The buff lowers question count.
• For some easy visa-free entries, it can reduce the check to one basic question.
• While the buff is active, it does not refresh or extend itself.
• The buff stacks with the general progression system, but bans still make checks stricter.
