About this game

A dystopian document thriller.
The award-winning, critically-acclaimed border inspector game.

______________________________________

The communist state of Arstotzka has just ended a 6-year war with neighboring Kolechia and reclaimed its rightful half of the border town, Grestin.

Your job as immigration inspector is to control the flow of people entering the Arstotzkan side of Grestin from Kolechia. Among the throngs of immigrants and visitors looking for work are hidden smugglers, spies, and terrorists.

Using only the documents provided by travelers and the Ministry of Admission's primitive inspect, search, and fingerprint systems you must decide who can enter Arstotzka and who will be turned away or arrested.

I don't normally write reviews ever, but I felt like this game really did deserve it. I've played cloverpit and the frame rate was really iffy, but with this games not a single issue. at first I thought the game would be best in landscape but being in portrait mode was a great decision on their part. I'm seen a massive change in tech and I'm very excited with pc games coming to android. definitely worth the price I like art style the game mechanics and the strategy and story behind the game.

I used to play this game a lot on PC and I think it was also on IOS. But it was sad to see it not being available for Android. However, when I saw it finally making it in the google playstore, I didn't hesitate to buy this game again. So good to see this game on mobile! I just wish there was a landscape mode. And I don't understand why you can't double tap on something to quickly highlight discrepancies like on PC. But that's fine I guess.

So happy that this is on the Google Play store! I've seen some of my fav YouTubers play this & I always wanted to try it myself, but don't have a gaming computer. Nor do I have Steam. Now that I've been able to play it, it's fun! A little intense at times, but as I've watched the gameplay b4, this was expected. I really like the characters. Especially the storylines of certain ones. The only change I'd make is probs just to emphasize the 3 bullets in the tranquilizer gun.
