The southern checkpoint of the United States of Columbia is yours to run. Travelers line up at your booth. Papers slide under the glass. Your job is simple: check the documents, catch the frauds, and stamp ADMIT or DENY. But nothing at this border stays simple. Read every passport against its chip. Hold documents to the UV lamp. Match the face at the window to the photo in the booklet. Verify visas, work passes and entry permits. Miss a forgery and the fines eat your wages — and your family is waiting for that money at home. Then a man in a grey coat slides a note across the counter, and the rules stop being about paperwork. FEATURES • A 14-day story campaign with a branching act finale • Dozens of document checks: expired papers, chip mismatches, forged seals, stolen identities, faked photos and more • A tense, hand-drawn world of stamps, ledgers and morning newspapers • Consequences that follow you home — pay the rent, feed your family, or don't • FREEROAM mode: an endless shift across three difficulties, with a high score to chase • Play in short sessions or long ones — one shift is a few minutes Inspired by the paperwork-thriller genre. No ads. No accounts. Your progress stays on your device. How honest can you afford to be?
