80s Cop Game Hits iOS Soon

A Rookie Cop's Burden: Investigating Your Father's Shadow

Street Patrol Command puts you in the weathered boots of Jack Harper, a fresh-faced officer tasked with guarding the borders during the tumultuous 1980s. On the surface, it's about enforcing regulations—but beneath the badge lies a darker truth. Your father's unsolved case lingers, and the answers may cross your checkpoint... if you let them.

No Routine Stop Is Simple

The job is anything but dull. Between high-stakes smuggling chases and life-or-death border decisions, you'll weigh justice against corruption. Strict contraband checks—poisoned goods, fake licenses—demand sharp instincts. Meanwhile, the past claws its way back through classified files and whispered warnings. Backup is available, but trust is rare.

Familiar Concept, Fresh Shadows

While comparisons to Papers, Please and Black Border are inevitable, the game carves its own identity through gritty pixel art and morally fraught choices. Currently light on details, early footage suggests tense document checks and adrenaline-fueled pursuits—but how deep does the conspiracy run?

For now, the game remains an iOS exclusive (launching September 26 for $4.99, pending delays). Hungry for similar tension? Explore our curated list of Papers, Please alternatives while waiting for Harper's story to unfold. Android users, sadly, must watch the border from afar—for now.
