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.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.

Dobra gra, z naprawdę fajnym klimatem - czuć komunizm na każdym kroku :)
Отличное "продолжение" культовой Papers, Please!, только в 3D. Понравилось, что здесь ты не только сверяешь документы пересекающих границу людей, но и ищешь контрабанду везде, где только можно, выполняешь поручения от правительства, защищаешь пост от террористов, берёшь взятки, в свободное время ездишь по городу, заезжая в магазинчики и затариваясь оружием, инструментами и водкой (для более продуктивной работы, конечно же), следишь, чтобы арестанты не сбежали, улучшаешь свой пост и многое другое. В общем тут тебе и шутер, и симулятор водителя (ведь за починку транспорта после повреждений нужно платить), и конечно же отыгровка за пограничника. Сюжет неплохой, развилки две (либо ты за правительство, либо за повстанческую фракцию "Кровавый Кулак"), в нём есть элементы и стелса, и экшена, даже следователем придётся поработать. Интересно сделан выдуманный язык: как я понял, составлен он из русского, польского и каких-то ещё языков, так что русскоязычные игроки будут часто слышать знакомые слова, но имеющие другие значения. Не очень понятно, зачем здесь такие механики как, например, "перетаскивание" тела, ведь через пару секунд после убийства оно испаряется - вероятнее всего, игра сделана на основе какого-то движка/шаблона, но для меня, обычного игрока, это не имеет значения. В общем игра хорошая, брал по скидке и не пожалел, конечно полная стоимость кусается, но контента немало, и если уж совсем не терпится поиграть, то можно и переплатить.
Facil de jugar, historia interesante siendo simple pero entretenida, tiene rejugabilidad y a mi no me engañas, en esa rueda llevas merca de la buena 7_7
内容丰富,棒棒棒
i accedently ran over a cop and the game ends i kill 1000 criminals and 100 civilians the game continues
Perfekcyjna gra dla wszystkich fanów komunizmu
Contraband Police gives you the thrill of checking people's documents with a little of that first person shooter magic sprinkled in. I might have played just shy of 60 hours, but I assure you that this game was well worth my time. the main campaign takes roughly 8 hours. Before you ask, yes I did spend 51 ish hours playing the endless mode. No i dont have a problem, i can quit whenever I want! But seriously, once you get through the main campaign and you become a confident border patrol officer, the extended mode offers a great way to shut off your brain and just inspect to your hearts delight. I made it a personal goal to make it 100 inspection days before finally hanging up the towel. The game is worth it on sale. it's worth it full price. Will it blow your mind? Is it the next Halo: Combat Evolved? Nah. Is it going to be worth your time? I promise the charm of rejecting "Russians" from re-entering their country due to a broken tail light never gets old. So yes, fellow gamer. Play this game.
