Border Officer is a 2019 action game from Cheesecake Dev where players inspect travelers at a border checkpoint.

Border Officer has found a quiet but persistent audience since launch, earning solid residual income with minimal ongoing maintenance cost. The game's polarizing reception (57% positive) and very small active player base suggest it appeals to a niche audience rather than a mass market, making it suitable only for a publisher seeking low-friction catalog depth or a studio evaluating dormant IP revival. The data does not support acquisition unless part of a larger Cheesecake Dev portfolio deal. Most realistic play: watch.

• Risk: Median session is 4.5 hours and current player count is minimal; the game may lack hook mechanics or narrative drive to sustain engagement beyond niche completionists.
• Risk: Developer has posted no updates to the community in 57 months; player expectations for patches or balance changes appear unmet.
• Risk: No cloud save, workshop support, or trading cards; feature parity with contemporary indie action titles is incomplete.
