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.
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): 8.71/day in the week to Aug 10 → 23.43/day in the week after.
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.

Contraband police so much better this games never worth getting in 2026, amazing game still tho 6.5/10
One of the best simplest games! At the end of the day you always have to work at the border, but this game makes it so much interesting. It transforms a repetitive, bureaucratic job into a gripping puzzle of logic, morality, and survival. Every document check feels like a high-stakes decision where your family's fate is on the line. A masterclass in minimalist design that stays with you long after the shift ends. Glory to Arstotzka!

You're put in the position of a seemingly heartless border control officer who couldn't care less about why someone's paperwork is invalid or the circumstances that brought them here. Every act of disobedience comes with the unavoidable reality that you [b]will[/b] not have enough to take care of your family if you follow through constantly forcing you to weigh your morals against the financial consequences. The game does a great job of making it intentionally difficult to earn any amount of disposable income without ever making you feel as though you're simply bad at your job.
oyun çok güzel. grestin sınırında bir memursunuz ve insanalrın geçip geçmemesine kurallara bağlı kalarak karar veriyorsunuz oyun bu. çok fazla sonu var ve çok iyi.
Congratulations, comerade. With this game you can experience a fantasy of working an intelectually demanding job for a low pay while making people's lives miserable.
Игра чересчур переоценена. В своём жанре она является самой популярной, но абсолютно все игры подобного жанра невероятно скучны из-за самой концепции. Просто сидишь, проверяешь подлинность документов, решаешь что делать с человеком, и так по-кругу до конца дня. И так продолжается целый месяц. Я от подобной рутины в реальной жизни итак по горло сыт, а тут мне ещё и в игре предлагают этим заняться в качестве "удовольствия от геймплея".
Maybe this is what unemployed people play to find fulfillment in life, but man, I would rather work my 9-5 than play this game. The amount of effort and exhaustion that comes with learning this game might as well go into working an actual job. I went in thinking this would be a fun "catch the discrepancies, lol fun fun yippie!" and not a "ok so no what you wanna do is check this with that and don't forget this rule and consult the manual and oh by the way your family of 12 is starving to death" like what in the world The tutorial is also very bad. It was a struggle to learn exactly how to use certain mechanics even after reading the manual over and over and over again. You essentially have to learn by doing, which at that point you only get to admin 5 people before the next day. It has a snowball effect where you barely learn one thing, and then the next day you're introduced to a new mechanic or something else, making yourself even more confused. If I hadn't known the gist of this game and went in blind, I would have been totally lost
This job sucks! 10/10 would let family die again
Слава Арстоцке
The HUD is very small, no good overview, just bad, give it a try, but dont regret it.
