Spud Customs

Spud Customs puts you in charge of a checkpoint in the nation of Spud, where fragile peace is at risk of giving way to chaos. Across 10 story shifts and 22 decision points, you inspect documents, uncover lies and decide which laws to enforce. Your choices shape the story and lead to 8 distinct endings.

Shape Spud’s fate

You can serve the regime, join the resistance, find love in unexpected places or play both sides. Your decisions affect the fates of the potatoes you encounter, and every stamp matters.

The characters include Supervisor Russet, who demands loyalty; Sweet Potato Sasha, who offers another path; Murphy, whose guilt about his cousin Tommy threatens to break him; and Viktor, who wants to know what happened to his wife. An elderly traveler named Jen Piper waits in the queue, hoping to reunite with the love of her life.

Work the checkpoint

At your desk, you check passports against changing laws and stamp your decisions as the queue grows. When a potato tries to cross the border, you can use missile systems to stop them, taking care to target the guilty.

Between shifts, five minigames break up the paperwork: scan documents with UV light, sort stamps, match fingerprints, crack codes in a Wordle-style game and chase contraband along conveyor belts.

Clear the evidence

Before a security inspection, you have 3 minutes to clear your desk. Items include resistance pamphlets, coded messages, Sasha’s letters and your loyalty certificate. You decide what to destroy and what to hide; the wrong choices raise suspicion, and being caught with the wrong evidence can lead to interrogation.

Shifts and difficulty

Shifts take 5–15 minutes, and three difficulty levels range from “I’m here for the story” to “destroy me.” The tutorial uses glowing highlights to guide you before leaving you to handle the checkpoint’s demands.

A tension system tints the screen red as strikes accumulate, while pulsing effects warn when you are close to disaster. A perfect stamp triggers a screen flash, slow motion and a particle burst, and your officer comments as the shift unfolds. Seven custom music tracks change with the story’s mood.

Story paths and achievements

The story includes Murphy’s Sacrifice storyline, “Protocol HARVEST,” Viktor’s grief narrative and a Chaos Agent path for playing both sides. Twenty-one achievements track story milestones, character relationships and gameplay mastery. An in-game viewer shows which achievements you have unlocked and hints at those still to come.
