One day might have nothing happen, the next you’ll be solving a murder, or getting into a shootout at the cemetery in the middle of the night. It settles into a nice routine of doing your tasks, spending the rest of the day doing whatever you want, then heading to sleep. Even if the details change, it's all too easy to correct mistakes.Įverything about a car and its driver must be scrutinised.Īfter processing all the travellers, you can go and do whatever you want for the rest of the day, like shopping for weapons, upgrading the checkpoint, or turning in all the contraband and prisoners you’ve obtained during the day. Since you can restart the day at any time, you can just cheat and memorise who gets a pass and who does not. Unfortunately, the people you need to process aren't randomly generated. It does feel a little mind-numbing after a while, but there is some excitement to break things up like car chases, shootouts, and tearing a car apart piece by piece to find drugs and weapons. How much does this car weigh and does it surpass the maximum load? How many parts of the car are broken or missing? Is there a snake symbol on their luggage? It actually feels pretty good to get a perfect grade and incredibly disheartening to see a complete screw-up. You will need a serious eye for detail as you check for everything if you want the full pay. Every chapter has a new set of rules which get increasingly more difficult to follow, or else you lose out on a serious payday or get docked an obscene amount of money. You must ensure that everything is up to code and no one is trying to smuggle anything into the country. Every day, you’ll wake up and begin processing any car coming through the checkpoint. Here, I just go to sleep in my crappy shack after work is done, wondering why I’m paying for everything.īut onto your duties as a part of the police. I can’t help but compare the game to Papers, Please, which Contraband Police is obviously inspired by, and how well it does emulating the struggles of someone living in such an oppressive environment. It's serviceable, but I'd rather make money than care about what the heck is going on. The story isn't special, and the choices are binary.
However, you soon become embroiled in a nationwide conflict that could change how the country is run, so it's up to you to either uphold the law or help change it. Your new job at the border checkpoint is to check papers, search for contraband, chase down runners, and shoot anyone who is stupid enough to attack you. Set in the 1980s, you play as a border inspector of the Acarist People's Republic, a communist country where your every move is being monitored, and smuggling and corruption are the norm.
