Hello, Inspectors!
The gates of GSA-42 are almost ready to open. **Orbital Checkpoint launches on Steam on August 27 for $4.99!**
In Orbital Checkpoint, you take the role of a border inspector stationed at a busy intergalactic transit hub. Every traveler brings a new set of documents, luggage, regulations, and occasionally something they definitely should not be carrying.
## Your shift, your decisions
During each shift, you will:
- verify passports, permits, transit tickets, and cargo declarations;
- compare photographs, dates, destinations, seals, and traveler details;
- scan suspicious baggage and uncover hidden contraband;
- follow daily GSA regulations that change as the campaign progresses;
- allow entry, deny passage, or make an arrest;
- earn Credits, purchase upgrades, and manage the consequences of your decisions.
But your work does not end when the checkpoint closes. Back at the station, you will need to manage oxygen, food, rent, stress, equipment, storage, and other parts of an inspector's life aboard GSA-42.
## A full 42-day campaign
The main campaign spans **42 in-game days**, with evolving regulations, new alien species, story encounters, station systems, upgrades, achievements, and different final outcomes shaped by your choices and discoveries.
After completing the campaign, you can continue your career in **Endless Mode** or begin a new service record and take a different path through the story.
## Available in 13 languages
Orbital Checkpoint will be playable in English, Polish, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.
