My corrupt predecessor was thrown out of his job, and my new co-workers kind of suck.

It’s the 1980s, and I’m starting my new job as the border agent in a Soviet-style totalitarian state. It’s a lot like indie darling Papers, Please, except I occasionally have to leave my post to lay down the law and shoot some criminals.Ĭontraband Police is a little janky but deeply compelling, and the game is a surprise hit on Steam.

I am given a few simple tools, like a folder full of regulations, a flashlight, a clipboard, and perhaps most handy of all, a gun. I am a stalwart border agent in Contraband Police, and I serve as the last line of defense between the great nation of Acaristan and nefarious smugglers and weapon dealers.
