The Imperial Gatekeeper v1.05

You are Thill, once celebrated on the battlefield as “Thill the Spearman,” now inexplicably reassigned from frontline service to the Empire’s brand‑new Traffic Security Bureau. Its director, Olivia Riedell, insists the age of swords and rifles is ending—that the future belongs to diligent civil servants armed with pens rather than lances. Duty drives you to comply, but checking travel permits and escorting weary travelers isn’t quite the comfortable desk job you imagined.

As checkpoint squad leader, your day revolves around an ever‑growing queue of applicants. You’ll examine passports, compare photographs, cross‑check dates and descriptions, and sniff out forgeries—all under the pressure of time and performance‑based pay. Slip up too often and you’ll feel the sting on your paycheck; stay sharp, though, and you’ll catch the eye of your superiors, earning transfers to new regions where ever‑changing entry rules keep you on your toes.

Between shifts, you can spend your earnings at a roving merchant’s stall. Discover tools and trinkets that streamline your work: a metal detector to unmask hidden weapons, a soothing perfume to calm nervous travelers, and plenty more gadgets that unlock as your reputation grows. Each purchase can spell the difference between smooth inspections and costly delays.

• Story‑driven progression: Your performance dictates not only your career path but also how the world around you reacts—new checkpoints, evolving regulations and emerging conspiracies await.
