About This Game

Set in 1981, you play as a novice officer assigned to the mountainous border post of Karikatka in the Acarist People's Republic. The party strictly controls all entry and closely watches your every action. The stakes rise when a fellow officer is killed during an intervention. You must perform strict document control, ensuring every visitor has valid paperwork, as even minor errors lead to entry denial and tasks become harder over time. Detect smuggling using intelligence reports, UV flashlights, and specialized tools to seize hidden contraband. Engage in shootouts when necessary, defending your station from Oberankov's gang and facing enemies during away missions. Pursue fleeing smugglers in police chases, upgrading your vehicles to catch them. Manage your post by upgrading defenses and inspection efficiency while balancing maintenance costs, earning money through successful inspections and interventions. Additionally, handle special assignments, solving crime puzzles, aiding comrades, and thwarting the Blood Fist rebels to decide Acaristan's fate.
