About this game

A dystopian document thriller.
The award-winning, critically-acclaimed border inspector game.

______________________________________

The communist state of Arstotzka has just ended a 6-year war with neighboring Kolechia and reclaimed its rightful half of the border town, Grestin.

Your job as immigration inspector is to control the flow of people entering the Arstotzkan side of Grestin from Kolechia. Among the throngs of immigrants and visitors looking for work are hidden smugglers, spies, and terrorists.

Using only the documents provided by travelers and the Ministry of Admission's primitive inspect, search, and fingerprint systems you must decide who can enter Arstotzka and who will be turned away or arrested.

Ratings and reviews

Note: To switch from mobile play style to PC, go to Settings (wrench icon on the start screen), click Device (which resembles an intercom), and select the desk setup on the right. It'll switch back to the home screen and play! I love this game!!! I'm training my eye for detail while playing, and it's a fun, free (after you buy the game) activity with no in-game transactions. It's addictively difficult trying to correct little mistakes, and I'm learning better methods to serve more people.

So happy that this is on the Google Play store! I've seen some of my fav YouTubers play this & I always wanted to try it myself, but don't have a gaming computer. Nor do I have Steam. Now that I've been able to play it, it's fun! A little intense at times, but as I've watched the gameplay b4, this was expected. I really like the characters. Especially the storylines of certain ones. The only change I'd make is probs just to emphasize the 3 bullets in the tranquilizer gun.

Great game, and as good a mobile port as you could probably have, though I feel like the small space of a phone isn't as nice as a big screen. Going through the various documents you have is a bit clunky. In the desktop port, the player can organize as they see fit, but here we're forced into a certain organization that's intentionally slightly inconvenient. Gripes aside, it is still enjoyable and is great to pick up and play a few minutes anywhere.
