Take over the duties of a border guard inspector in a communist country of the 80's. Smuggling, corruption and forgery are the order of the day here. Be vigilant and earn the respect of your superiors.

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.
Add-ons
Each DLC is estimated with the same model as a game, then summed — a modeled figure, not reported DLC sales.
Sums Steam only; PlayStation publishes no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

Reviews
Excellent game, really captures the feel of managing a border control station.
[h2]Днём я обычная работяга, а после работы — суровый инспектор на границе, который не берёт взятки. Ну… почти.[/h2] Я даже не знаю, с чего начать, потому что в игре есть ВСЁ. Давайте по порядку. - [b]Сюжет.[/b] Он здесь есть!!! Обычно в симуляторах сюжет чисто для галочки, но здесь нет. Тут даже не одна концовка! Сюжет простой, хорошо внедрен в игру, но особо долго о нем распинаться смысла нет, ибо это не самое важное. - [b]Геймплей.[/b] Вот тут разработчики оторвались! Здесь ты сверяешь документы, высматриваешь каждую запчасть авто, светишь фонариком для выискивания знаков контрабанды. Это буквально papers please, выкрученный на максимум. Можно арестовывать (а иногда товарищи преступники могут дать деру), брать взятки, возить тюремщиков на шахту, сдавать найденную контрабанду в полицию. В игре приличных размеров карта с разными локациями, так еще и несколько вариантов транспортного средства. Ты можешь улучшать свою базу и ЭТО реально влияет на игровой процесс. А если тебе стало скучно, то к тебе обязательно нагрянет вооруженная банда или по пути в магазин нападут или внезапно упадет доп квест. Но даже если ты НЕ хочешь каких-либо активностей, то ты можешь отказаться от квестов, проехать мимо нападавших или отключить нападения на пост. Да даже если тебе не хочется никуда ехать, то есть быстрые перемещения + можно вызвать магазин или грузовик для тюремщиков к посту. И все это - только лишь половина, потому что есть самое основное - проверка документов. Несколько марок авто (у каждой свои характеристики), различные дефекты на ТС (разбитые стекла, фары или отсутствие номеров), разные виды грузов (тебе надо соотносить накладную с имеющимися в багаже предметами). Перечислять можно невероятно долго, лучше посмотреть самостоятельно! - [b]Бесконечный режим.[/b] Это не бесконечная рутина - меняются 'подсказки для ловли контрабандистов', меняются розыскиваемые преступники, можно развивать базу, побегать повыбивать достижения, поболтать со своими коллегами. Ну и параллельно выбивать ачивки - почти все выбиваются без особого труда. - [b]Графика.[/b] Она здесь отличная, но при этом потянет даже мой не самый мощный ноут. - [b]Минусы.[/b] Честно, долго пришлось думать над ними, потому что за все время не было найдено каких-либо косяков. Возможно, кому-то покажется скучно, а кому-то попадется куча багов (я ни с одним не столкнулась). Можно отметить глупый ии, картонную стрельбу, отсутствие надобности торговли с проезжающими и неудобное вождение. Но это если уж совсем высасывать из пальца. [b]Итог:[/b] Contraband Police — супер! Залипаю уже несколько вечеров, настоятельно рекомендую тем, кто любит симуляторы, да и вообще всем. Твердая десятка!

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
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.
