Game synopsis

A dystopian documentary thriller.
A dystopian documentary-style thriller game.
The award-winning, critically acclaimed border inspector game.
______________________________________

The communist state of Arstotzka has just ended a six-year war with its neighbor Kolechia and reclaimed half of the border town of Grestin.
As an immigration inspector, your job is to control the flow of people entering the Arstotzkan side of Grestin from Kolechia. Among the crowds of migrants and tourists looking for work hide smugglers, spies, and terrorists.
You must decide who may enter Arstotzka and who will be turned away or arrested, using only the documents travelers provide and the immigration office's rudimentary inspection, search, and fingerprinting systems.
