Booth loop, then the next officer inherits your kit.

Two free builds. Prologue is the roguelike fork.
Read →Updated 2026-10-03You play a customs officer at Caldora Airport. Each shift you check papers, search bags, scan cargo, and decide who walks. The store pitch is blunt: keep the line, or take cartel money.
This fan site tracks the public record until Steam unlocks the full game on 28 October 2026. Numbers that are not on a store widget or in an official post stay off these pages.
What you actually do
The loop is a roguelike simulation, not a sandbox airport builder. Official copy lists four jobs on the booth:
- Verify documents.
- Inspect passengers (including body searches in the demo notes).
- Search luggage and scan cargo.
- Weigh pilots' loads against their papers.
Tools already named in the pre-release UI include T-RAY, FLASH SCAN, R-RAY, CHILL BAR, and INSTANT SHOCK. T-RAY's tooltip says it highlights mission-critical items on x-ray. Instant Shock sits next to taser / handcuff talk on the store page — treat those as last-resort tools, not a combat game.
Play it before 28 October

The Prologue is not a cut-down tutorial of the same shift. DRAGO's store line says it leans harder on the roguelike side and adds elements that are not the main campaign's first hours.
What this site will add after unlock
Price, review score, achievements, and the first patch notes. Until the store widget is live, treat every "it will cost $X" thread as unverified.
