______________________________________
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.

Fantastic game which I already own on PC but decided to try out the mobile port. The port is excellent and has slight differences from the PC version in order to make the experience more suited for mobile. The only issue is that when you leave the game for even just a moment and come back to it, there's no sound at all, and the only way to fix this is to entirely quit the game and reopen it.

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.

It's a very good game, but I give 4 stars due to after some time playing, it becomes slow and glitchy to where you can't touch or do anything. The sound also cuts out sometimes as well. You have to close to the game and re-open to continue, so it needs an update to fix that. Otherwise, it is a solid port.

Great game but, there's this strange unfixable glitch I get when the megaphone thing(I'm dumb) at the top of your booth does not work. This means that I cannot call people in to my booth, making it impossible to progress and play the game. I've found that the only way to fix this glitch is to uninstall the game, then re install it, which makes you lose all your progress. But this can STILL happen after re installing the game for me. I wish it could be fixed then this would be a perfect game.

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.

Great game but it has a really annoying bug where the sound stops working every time you get interrupted by another app. You then have to reset the game, losing your current progress. This is super annoying as every time I get a token, google play games interrupts the app to ask me to set up an account. I don't want an account, I just want to play the game I bought! I hope this bug gets fixed.

Good game, great atmosphere, engaging twists and turns in the plot and has replay value. It would be nice if Endless Mode had day breaks and household management like Story Mode does. Not sure why I have to disable vibration every time I start the game? The other options save without issue.. mildly annoying but the game is great overall.

I absolutely love the game, the artstyle and gameplay are just magnificent. My only problem is that at least once per in-game day the game will just randomly have a frame rate crash and can only be fixed when exiting out of the app and opening it back up. I'm glad the game saves after every person because if it didn't this game would be practically unplayable. However this is a simple bug fix and once that's out of the way you're working with an easy 5 star game here.
