Checkpoint 57, you assume the role of a lone night-duty officer stationed at a remote forest checkpoint. Your job is initially straightforward: monitor the road, check travellers’ documents, maintain order.  But the atmosphere quickly shifts — isolation, strange occurrences, and an unsettling silence build up the tension until you realize something far darker lurks behind the scenes.
This. Was. SO GOOD! The graphics, the scares, the eeriness, the atmosphere. It left me wanting more. This is what you'd expect from an all around great indie horror game. Such a fresh of breath air compared to others ive played.

Man oh man some of these jumpscares really got ya boy this game was solid, bugged out at the end of it but that's ok all around an awesome game W devs really enjoyed it!💪
Game's fairly familiar to Papers, Please. But I like how you start paying attention to what the drivers are saying and the vibe around the checkpoint. I just wish there was a checkpoint before the ending.
I loved it, started off very routine checking cars and verifying documents, then as game progressed you become very suspicious of some drivers. Atmosphere was eerie and sounds were great. See my playthrough here:
What a cool little game this was! Never really see horror games based on running a checkpoint so this definitely takes the cake. Looking at ID's to see if they match or not with certain details, allowing or disallowing people from going through. This was really well made and felt really immersive! Made a video on it.
From start to finish, this game was well done! I loved the voice acting over the radio, it was a bit weird getting used to that sound after the subtitles were displayed but everything else was great! Nice work
This was fun to playthrough, very well done! There could definitely be a potential series here. I enjoyed it, here is my playthrough and reaction. Thanks for sharing this game with us!

I took my job VERY seriously lol super fun game!buen juego
Enjoyed the game, it gave great scares and I thought that it was well made. Well done.
YUH TWIN, Played this game before the pricetag lmao, enjoy the best editing frfr.
I love how subtle the horror is — it creeps in slowly instead of screaming at you.
The ending caught me completely off guard. Brilliant work.
Really enjoyed the game! it was creepy, eerie, and I didn't know what to expect! Plus the screening was pretty fun to do! Great job!
I agree—it was cool! The checkpoint mechanics and suspense kept me hooked. I’d love to see additional scenarios or choices in the future.
I really enjoyed this game but I need to know if any of the people were meant to pass because I didn't let a single person in 😭 lol
