In 1981, you play a trainee border officer assigned to a remote checkpoint in the fictional communist country of Acaristan. Your work is monitored by the authorities as political unrest and smuggling put the border post under pressure.
Check visitors’ documents against changing entry rules, inspect vehicles and cargo, and use tools such as a UV flashlight to find hidden contraband. Catching discrepancies can mean refusing entry, issuing penalties, or arresting the driver.
Beyond inspections, you can drive around the region, pursue escaping smugglers, take on story and side missions, and defend the checkpoint in shootouts. Earn money from your work and use it to upgrade the post and police vehicles; campaign decisions can shape which side you support and the outcome.
Players who enjoy the game often praise the close-up document checks and vehicle searches, especially the satisfaction of spotting errors or hidden contraband. Reviews also appreciate the bleak border setting and the mix of inspections with driving, missions, shootouts, and station upgrades. Some players find the inspection routine repetitive, while frequent attacks and vehicle trips are common points of frustration.
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.
