Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to involve the community in the development of Border Control Together and use player feedback to improve the game before the full release.

Early Access will allow us to identify issues, balance gameplay, improve existing systems, and prioritize the features that matter most to players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to keep Border Control Together in Early Access for approximately 6 months. The exact duration may change depending on development progress and player feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to expand Border Control Together throughout Early Access with additional content and improvements to the existing gameplay systems. This includes more entry restrictions and inspection scenarios, additional wanted notices, more variety in contraband and vehicle inspections, new checkpoint equipment and upgrades, and further development of the economy and corruption systems.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version already contains the core gameplay systems and is fully playable.

Players can inspect documents, check vehicles and cargo, find contraband, arrest smugglers, manage their earnings, upgrade the checkpoint, and play solo or in online co-op with up to 4 players.

The game is still in active development, and some systems may be adjusted, improved, or expanded during Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. We plan to increase the price when Border Control Together leaves Early Access to reflect the additional content, features, and improvements added during development. The Early Access price will therefore be lower than the planned price of the full version.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to actively listen to player feedback during Early Access.

Player feedback will help us identify issues, improve gameplay balance, prioritize improvements, and decide which areas of the game need further development.

We will use community feedback alongside our own development plans when making decisions about the game.

About This Game

Border Control Together is a first-person border checkpoint simulator where you and your fellow officers work the same shift in a harsh authoritarian state.

Play solo or in online co-op with up to 4 players. Check documents, inspect vehicles and cargo, search for contraband, manage the checkpoint economy, and make difficult choices between doing your duty and pursuing personal profit.

🛂 Control the Border

Every shift introduces new entry restrictions, regulations, and wanted notices.

Call the next vehicle to the checkpoint and begin your inspection. Check passports and entry documents, then compare the information with government records using the registration computer.

Documents can be inspected at the main checkpoint or during a secondary inspection.

In co-op, one officer can examine the documents while another checks the government database, making communication and coordination an important part of every inspection.

🚗 Inspect Vehicles and Cargo

Search vehicles, cargo, and shipping documents for undeclared or prohibited goods.

Contraband may include drugs, money, cigarettes, and alcohol.

Use wanted notices and inspection equipment to identify smugglers and hidden goods. If you discover contraband, arrest the suspect from the checkpoint booth. The offender will be transferred to the detention area and the vehicle removed from the checkpoint.

If everything is in order, approve entry and call the next vehicle.

💰 Duty or Corruption

Confiscated contraband can be officially surrendered in exchange for money, but smugglers may also offer you a bribe that is usually worth more than the legal reward.

Accepting it comes with a risk. If your corruption is discovered, you may receive a fine worth even more than the money you earned.

Follow the rules or take the risk for a bigger profit.

📻 Work Together

Communication plays an important role in co-op.

Players initially hear each other clearly only at short distances, with voices becoming quieter as they move farther apart.

Upgrade your radio communication range to coordinate inspections across larger areas of the checkpoint.

🔦 Upgrade Your Checkpoint

Spend your earnings on equipment and improvements that make inspections faster and more efficient.

Upgrade the range of individual UV flashlights or purchase stationary UV lights for the inspection area. These lights reveal marked contraband locations without requiring handheld flashlights.

Stationary UV lights are purchased once for the whole team, but their electricity consumption increases the checkpoint quota.

You can also unlock remote access to daily restrictions and wanted notices, allowing officers to open the information directly instead of returning to the notice board.

Consumable equipment also costs money, including knives, UV flashlights, and flashlight charging.

📊 Manage Your Economy

Money can be earned by correctly allowing travelers through the border, arresting smugglers, surrendering confiscated contraband, or accepting bribes.

Balance efficiency, operating expenses, legal income, and corruption while keeping the checkpoint running and giving the Inspectorate no reason to question your performance.

Inspect the documents. Search the vehicles. Find the contraband. Decide what kind of officer you will become.
