From Quiz "Papers, Please" (PC)

Answer: Arstotzka

Arstotzka has just decided to allow limited entry into its previously-closed borders, and you've been selected to man the position of passport checker. All you ever see of your country is the little grey piece of land which serves as the border checkpoint between Arstotzka and Kolechia. Your job is to check as many people at the border as possible each day, ensure that they have the proper documentation as dictated at the start of that day, and admit as many as possible without breaking any of the rules. This is way harder than it sounds, not only because the day flies by really fast, but because of the people and situations you will meet while manning this checkpost.

From Quiz The Polarity of "Polarium"

Answer: Black and white

Pink and auburn brown couldn't be "Polarium"'s uniform colours, because the game focuses mostly around polarity, as you may have guessed from the title and your experience with the game itself. For those of you who don't know what polarity means, it means to do with the two poles (opposites) of something, or if that's too technical for you, let's just say that it's mostly a funny way of saying opposites.

From Quiz "Pump It Up", Not "DDR"

Answer: Ten

Unlike "Dance Dance Revolution", with four, or "In The Groove", which has eight arrows total, "Pump It Up" has ten. The set-up is like "Dance Dance Revolution", but instead of the arrows being configurated up-down-left-right, the arrows are turned 45 degrees to be on the corners and an extra arrow is placed in the middle, allowing, in my opinion, better movement and flow while stepping on them. I believe there are no stepping games that have seven total arrows. However, "Technomotion," another dancing game, does have eighteen steps, one for each section of the square!

V Pirate is the code that gets you all levels, weapons, comic art, and everything else.
