Contraband Police

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 norms. 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. 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.

The story isn't special, and the choices are binary. It's serviceable, but I'd rather make money than care about what the heck is going on. 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. Here, I just go to sleep in my crappy shack after work is done, wondering why I'm paying for everything.
