Take over the duties of a border guard inspector in a communist country of the 80's. Smuggling, corruption and forgery are the order of the day here. Be vigilant and earn the respect of your superiors.
Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 5/day in the week to Aug 14 → 15.57/day in the week after.
About
The year is 1981, and as a young officer trainee, you are assigned to work at a border post in the mountainous region of Karikatka. Entry into the Acarist People's Republic is strictly regulated by the party and your every move is monitored! The situation at the border escalates when your comrade is killed during one of the interventions...
Document control
Every visitor must have a set of valid documents. Even the slightest discrepancy means refusal of entry. Over time, the number of documents will increase and errors will be more difficult to detect.
Smuggling detection
Our intelligence regularly provides information about suspicious drivers. Search their vehicles using a UV flashlight and then use the appropriate tools to extract the smuggled goods. No amount of contraband should cross the border!
Shootouts
In some situations you will be forced to use firearms. Your station is a constant target for Oberankov's gang attacks, and every away mission carries the risk of a clash with the enemy.
Police chases
Desperate smugglers may attempt to escape from the control zone. It is your duty to stop and arrest them! Buy and upgrade police cars to improve the effectiveness of your pursuit.
Post management
Upgrade your police station to increase its defenses and improve subsequent inspections. However, keep in mind the rising cost of maintaining your station. Successful inspections, foiled smuggling and successful interventions are a few ways to earn cash.
Special assignments
Always be ready to intervene in an emergency. Solve crime puzzles, support your comrades and thwart the Blood Fist rebels. Make decisions that will determine the future of Acaristan.

организовал подпольную лабараторию по производству наркотических вешеств и начал провозить в америку через мексику там ловили 1 машину за день из тысячи а в игре каждый день практически по 3 контрабандиста в жизни лучше провозить чем в игре а так иногда видишь где люди ошибаются и можно перепрятовать так игра имба
评分:8/10 相当有趣的一款休闲小游戏,形象的刻画了一个上世纪八十年代苏联式国家的边境检查站,通过找不同的形式选择允许或拒绝访客通过,经营自己的检查站,既有日常经营又有主线剧情,你可以作为革命者参加革命还是作为忠实的警察捍卫政府 缺点:视角转换难受,开车、射击手感很糟糕,看证件找茬的玩法很容易腻

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Papers please con esteroides, excelente juego
jogo muito bom e um otimo passa tempo
Fun, but graphics and physics are like early 2000s. They should be ashamed to sell this nowadays,
10/11
Prefere ficar no conforto da sua vida miserável ou se arriscar pra salvar sua vida e a de milhares do governo? Esse jogo além de você fazer o seu trabalho de inspetor, você também tem um mundo aberto com várias coisas pra fazer que tem haver com o seu trabalho, tipo perseguir fugitivos no seu carro, entregar drogas para a polícia, prisioneiros para as minas de carvão, tem bastante coisa pra fazer nesse jogo e eu pelo menos me senti muito confortável jogando e realmente curti estar na pele de um inspetor. Não só isso mas o jogo tenta pelo menos dar um pouco de profundidade pro cenário que você vive, então vai dar um pouco de vida ao ambiente você conversar com seus colegas para saber a história de cada um e até deixar certas pessoas passarem pela fronteira, mesmo que não merecessem, mas toda boa ação volta uma hora, mesmo que tenha parecido uma má escolha no momento. E o jogo além de já ter essas coisas que eu amo, ele tem modos diferentes pra você jogar, tipo o Modo Inspetor (também conhecido como Endless) quando você conclui a Campanha do jogo, que permite que tu explore e desbloqueie muitas coisas novas pra te dar mais tempo de jogo. É um jogo até que leve eu diria, vale bastante a pena se você curte jogos do tipo ou se está procurando um bom pra começar e não quer começar com o clássico "Papers, Please" seja qual for a razão, o preço eu achei até que razoável, não é algo que todo mundo consegue comprar (mas na Promoção ele fica ~R$35,00 então fica bem mais acessível) porém que mesmo assim eu recomendo bastante pra todo mundo, é um jogo bem interessante e que faz um bom trabalho para a proposta dele.
очень интересная игра советую всем. Сюжет простенький
非常好
