Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller tried his hand on Twitch in his stream from February 9, 2024, at the Steam game “Contraband Police.” However, even the tutorial proved to be trickier than expected – at least if you just can’t help but attack innocents.
What kind of game is he playing? Contraband Police puts players in the role of a border police officer in a communist country in the 1980s. You are tasked with checking the documents of visitors and deciding on their entry, apprehending smugglers, and, on top of that, stopping the rebels of the “Bloody Fist.”
This whole thing is reminiscent of the “claustrophobic exception-adventure” Papers, Please (via GameStar), but in 3D and with gunfights. Contraband Police was released on March 8, 2023, on Steam and enjoys a rating of “Very Positive” with 95% positive reviews there.
Good reason for Twitch streamer Papaplatte to take a look at the game.
“I’m in the tutorial, bro”
How did it go for Papaplatte? At first, very promising. The streamer masters the first checks brilliantly and ends the day with a “perfect” score before retreating to his trailer for a well-deserved evening off.
But already on the second day, difficulties arise: Papaplatte actually wanted to let the arrested smuggler escape from his cell but accidentally attacks him with his knife. “Bro, I’m in the tutorial,” comments the Twitch streamer on his first “Game Over” screen.
For the next nearly two and a half hours, Papaplatte and his viewers can admire the “Game Lost” title several times while his character repeatedly relives his first days at work, just like in “Groundhog Day.”
Oh, a pitchfork, what do we do with that? First, stab the next best person and promptly get shot, of course. “I won’t kill anyone anymore,” Papaplatte promises regretfully as he starts day 2 again. However, the good intention is quickly forgotten when a trader is actually reckless enough to sell the Twitch streamer a firearm.
“What do we need weapons for?” asks Papaplatte as he shoots the trader. Back to square one. The Twitch streamer announces: “I need to stop messing up, real talk, we’ve been in the tutorial for an hour.” There’s a cut, and in the next scene, Papaplatte beats an innocent driver with a crowbar. Well, maybe next time.

Streamer fails for two and a half hours, fans love it
What does Papaplatte say about the game? After almost two and a half hours, Papaplatte has mastered the tutorial and his first real workday. Satisfied with his performance for the day, he closes Contraband Police and delivers his verdict: It was a lot of fun, would love to do it again.
And the Twitch streamer’s viewers are also enjoying the fun. The highlight reel of the stream is currently ranked second in the trending section for Gaming on YouTube, and in the comments, many fans are calling for more content for Contraband Police. However, some have also expressed sympathy for the chat that had to witness it all live.
No one knows better than Trymacs that Twitch is less about gaming skills and more about entertainment value. He describes himself as a “streamer without skill” and proves this joyfully at every opportunity, such as in the new survival hit Enshrouded:
