Contraband Police
As a young graduate of the officer school, you are sent to a border outpost in the mountainous region of Karikatka. Entry to the territory of the Akaristan People’s Republic is regulated by strict party rules, and every step you take is monitored! The situation on the border worsens when one of your comrades dies during an intervention…
Document Check
Every visitor must have a complete set of valid documents with them. Even the slightest discrepancy means denial of entry. Over time, the number of documents will increase, and errors will become more difficult to detect.
Smuggling Detection
Our intelligence regularly provides information on suspicious drivers. Search their vehicles with an ultraviolet flashlight, and then use the appropriate tools to extract the contraband. No smuggled goods should cross the border!
Shootouts
In some situations, you will be forced to use firearms. Your post is a constant target of attacks by the Oberankov gang, and every outing is associated with the risk of confrontation with the enemy.
Police Chases
Desperate smugglers may try to escape the inspection zone. You are obligated to apprehend and arrest them! Buy and upgrade police cars to increase the efficiency of the chase.
Post Management
Upgrade your post to strengthen its defense and improve subsequent management elements. However, keep in mind the growing costs of maintaining the facility. Proper inspections, interception of contraband, and successful interventions are some of the ways to earn money.
Special Missions
Always be ready for emergency intervention. Solve criminal puzzles, support your comrades, and disrupt the plans of the “Bloody Fist” rebels. Make decisions that determine the future of Akaristan.

I thought I was a good man. It turns out, I'm the kind of man to sell his soul for a totalitarian regime. I just shot an old man because I didn't like the tone of his voice, and I've massacred countless freedom fighters in the name of our Great Dictator. I must defend the borders of our glorious socialist paradise from capitalists, imperialists, and old men who let their passports expire. Not on my watch! I'll gladly drive you, and several friends, to a labour camp for the most minor of crimes. Watching this filth break rocks is my elixir (apart from Vodka obviously). I don't accept bribes, and I do use my pistol at the slightest provocation. I might even take out your vehicle with a grenade. Glory to Acaristan, death to traitors, and victory for the revolution comrades!

Honestly only installed this game because of CaseOh and I gotta say, it's actually pretty fun. I think the Indie game takeover that's happening is great for the current climate of gaming.

Glory to Arstotzka! Oh I mean... Glory to Acaristan!
I'm normally be corrupt and bad in general but this time i choose to be person with ideals!
i've finished storyline just now played it slow and tried to explore the game more did try every possible things as well, i can say without hesitation this game is on point and well created...
It is like "papers please" but with more action and gameplay.
Gunplay, Upgrading your base, Speaking with your comrades, Delivering criminals to quarry etc.
Balance, gameplay & storyline made it very fun to play it.
There is quite a lot of bugs but devs find ways to deal with them there is no game breaking bugs i saw in my gameplay, for example if you get stuck game suggest you to respawn near location etc.
I give 9 contraband out of 10 AK magazine.
NOTE: It was good birthday gift thanks again!

Such a simple premise and yet so much fun! The key is to take your time and be thorough with each car. Game options let you tune how much time each day is, whether or not you get raided or ambushed on the road, and tweak how much you can use the document comparison feature. If you have OCD and are a stickler for imposing government bureaucracy on your fellow man, this is the game you're looking for.
10/10 Would send a poor, starving family's father to the labor camp again. Glory to Acaristan!

i like the game, but kinda wish there was co-op. I play most of my games with friends so would be kinda cool to see multiplayer in the future especially having an extra set of eyes to make sure nothing is missed

If you like Papers Please you will like Contraband Police. This game adds more depth to the idea as well. Car chases, shootouts, investigating criminal cases like a detective, and the number of things to check is significantly higher than in PP. It is amazing how many times I think I have thoroughly checked a vehicle, only for the car to leave and me being scolded for having overseen things. It is equally frustrating and motivating to do better next time. The game is well worth the money and there have been good discounts recently. The graphics are a bit outdated but this is one of those games where the gameplay takes center stage. Glory to Arztotzka!
