Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 5/day in the week to Aug 14 → 15.57/day in the week after.
About
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.

fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun (They forced me)
Gra nawet spoko, pomimo, że wyszła już w pełnej wersji, to dalej ma błędy psujące czasami satysfakcję z gry, np. jest opisane by żaden kierowca nie przekroczył granicy przewoząc materiały budowlane, odsyłam go z powrotem z zaznaczonym polem "regulacje wjazdowe" odejmuje mi pieniądze i wyświetla komunikat że był "czysty" (???), ale pomimo takich kilku sytuacji, to w sumie spoczko gierka typu papers please warta ogrania, kampania interesująca, chociaż mam do ogrania jeszcze stronę "rebelii", wskaźniki wykrycia w kampanii trochę przegięte, ale da się ogarnąć.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

хорошая игра
организовал подпольную лабараторию по производству наркотических вешеств и начал провозить в америку через мексику там ловили 1 машину за день из тысячи а в игре каждый день практически по 3 контрабандиста в жизни лучше провозить чем в игре а так иногда видишь где люди ошибаются и можно перепрятовать так игра имба
its just alot of fun
SO FUNNNNNNNN
This reminds me of the time that I tried to sneak my family into the United States from Mexico.
Классная игра! Косяк только в сохранениях - при перезагрузке дня или контрольной точки игра переносит тебя на первый день обучения... Перезагружаешься и вроде как возвращаешься туда, где играл. надеюсь, что этот косяк исправят.

Contraband Police somehow made checking passports, searching vehicles, and arguing with smugglers way more entertaining than it has any right to be. Every shift keeps you on your toes. One mistake and you've either let a criminal through or ruined an innocent person's day. The mix of investigation, action, and resource management keeps the gameplay fresh, while the atmosphere perfectly captures life at a tense border checkpoint. The only downside? After playing, I started looking at people's documents with far more suspicion than i probably should. 9/10 Turns out saying "Step out of the vehicle, please." is surprisingly satisfying.
