Toll Booth Simulator
Developer SifDev
You tried to escape prison but got caught. Instead of prison, they gave you a debt. Manage a toll booth on a desert highway. Check passports, take payments, and decide who passes. Grow fruit, mix mocktails, sell drinks, and dodge the cops. The only way to earn freedom is by paying off your debt. From the Steam store page

60 of 73 · most liked firstEdited August 2026: I decided to clean up and reorganize my review to make it easier to read. I haven't removed any of the information about my experience, including what happened after I posted the original review. I'm just combining everything into one review instead of leaving multiple updates. I picked up this game during the Summer Sale and got it a little cheaper through a bundle. I played around four hours, and somehow I was both bored and not bored at the same time. There were a lot…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’ve been having a great time playing Toll Booth Simulator so far. What I enjoy most is that it’s not just “sit in a booth and collect tolls” the whole time. There’s actually a nice variety of things to do, which keeps the gameplay from getting repetitive. One minute you’re working the toll booth, the next you’re farming, making mocktails, then going into town to sell them or even lockpicking houses to make some extra cash and pay off your debt. It sounds a bit chaotic on paper, but it all…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ABSOLTLEY DREADFUL!!! After 86 minutes of running around with clunky controls, I got real sickm real fast of running into doors looking a liitle rounf meter to see how close you were and then finally getting there and EVERY, SINGLE TIME, EVERY, SINGLE ACTION, PRESS "E TO INTERACT", THEY WENT WAY, WAY OVERBOARD WITH IT! And then the nonsensical mocktails! OK, I somewhat enjoyed checking out the passports but other than that this game NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the game hoping for a simplified Papers, Please experience. What I got was an hour of that, then an ungodly amount of mixology powered by carpal tunnel and pears, accentuated by robbery and dragging dead people to be probed for a cup of juice. The pros: Experienced no jank, at least nothing that seemed unintentional. Had no soft locks, no crashes, nothing got stuck in any way. I chuckled a few times at poses and x-rays and a certain reference in the desert. The cons: It gets stale…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is no fun to this game, the name of the game should be around the toll booth, instead your farming to make money and then selling mocktails over and over and over to speed it up you can offer mocktails to the same 3 or 4 people just to get rid of them and make the money which increses the repetition, theres nothing to unlock after 5mins and it is repetitive rince and repeat.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I honestly like the game so far lots of ways to pay of your debt and lots of content for a solo dev. The dev is very active in his community and loves to hear feedback from people. Also I got a gf in the game so life way better now.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're looking for a fun sim game that incorporates other elements such as farming, fishing, and tinder? Then this is the game for you. There's always something to do and for the price I'd say it's worth it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played for 3 hours so far, buying the game on the day of launch on steam I like the game , its from a solo developer. Yes the game does need a few tweaks and the developer seems keen to hear feedback. so hopefully they will act on the feedback to improve the game more. It seems to be a mixture of lots of different games. I can see influences in this game to at least 5 or 6 other games I have played in ways. I am playing on a high spec PC and would not expect any issues and i have not…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game seems like it has potential in the first 10 mins, but then its empty of life, making cocktails feels like a chore, getting employees stops your XP gain, scanning vehicles to find out its just one thing and you cant interact with it like in contraband etc. robbing houses can give u all the money u need to buy everything, leaving you bored.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So i played about an hour and so far I like it, good concept and it definitely has replay ability. I think one thing that might help is potentially add a help section, talking about basic game mechanics and different other mechanics if you forget or want to recheck how to do something. One thing is the protocols add and get removed as you continue because after the first one, I didn't know they stacked which is 100% on me. Sometimes a certain button will highlight like the money from the toll…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great job to the dev so far on this game. A ton to do and seems to be very responsive to his communities suggestions. Would love to see this have a co-op option eventually for maybe up to 4 players but other than that keep up that fantastic work!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is a really fun game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Been playing for 6 hours and enjoyed every minute of it. It's fun the game play is great. the NPC are brillant. Can't wait to see what's next, the roadmap looks good so the dev is involved and keeping the game updated Would recommend this game check it out you'll have a laugh.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has potential but is not there at the moment. The game is alright and for a solo dev to have done this is great work. I will be refunding has it will just sit in my library for months until more updates are done. The repetitive people at the toll booth is annoying and the lines not matching up when you decline them for carrying the weapons or no driving licence and they mention they used passport for coffee. The game is not for me right now, but it doesn't mean others may not have fun…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quirky and fun in the beginning, but then quickly feels like an aimless grind with objectives at long distances to maximize the time you need to spend traveling back and forth. I can get why some people enjoy it as its fairly quirky, but this seems more like a $5 game than a $15/16 game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I went into this expecting to just lift a gate and collect change, but Toll Booth Simulator is so much more. It’s a chaotic, high-stakes cocktail of document checking, desert survival, and... mocktail mixology? It sounds insane, and it is—but that’s exactly why it’s brilliant The "One More Car" Hook: Checking passports and catching smugglers is satisfyingly tense, but the way the game opens up into farming bizarre fruits and running a roadside bar is a genius pivot. 🍹 Risk & Reward: Do you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a super cool game! There's so much to do, and it's a surprisingly big world. The dev is very active, and the game surprises me time to time when I play it! Great game, can't wait for more updates.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played this game after reading some of the reviews and I can clearly see how the developer has went out of their way to improve it based on community feedback. I had a slight issue/bug when playing and when I contacted the developer fixed it within minutes. The game itself is fun, with multiple paths to "Pay off your debt" each with their own unique flare and style that can be expanded upon in future updates. Looking forward to the future of this game as I continue playing and see what the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very nice game to play with a lot to do in the game like it that you can farm and so on in this game if you like this kind of games then you really must try this one you will not regret it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great game with incredibly deep mechanics. In one game, you can be a customs officer, a farmer, a bartender, a shopkeeper, and a fisherman. And that’s just what I managed to discover in a couple of hours of playing — there’s clearly even more to come :D Highly recommended! this game is definitely not going to get boring
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Toll Booth Simulator takes an occupation that sounds almost aggressively ordinary and uses it as the foundation for a surprisingly eccentric first-person simulation. Developed by SifDev and published by Ultimate Publishing, Ultimate Games S.A., and PlayWay S.A., the game places you in the shoes of someone burdened with debt after a failed attempt to escape prison. Instead of returning to a conventional sentence, you are given an opportunity to work your way toward freedom. Your new workplace is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tutorial of the game is very bad, it freezes a lot and overall is not fun?? I will be refunding
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bro... These people are incredibly impatient, Sorry I'm taking a close look at papers, I got irritated and refunded the game, Even people in Contraband Police aren't this impatient.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →absolutely loved the game really great game there where a few bugs but the developer was super hands on absolute kevin out of 7
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game have is much fun playing toll booth sim
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it is a really fun game with lots to do. a lot of good laughs
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can get past some glitchy crap, but this was way too much. this at the very best, is an unfinished game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like games that aren't an incredibly monotonous playthrough, you'll thoroughly enjoy this one. It feels like a good mashup of games like Schedule 1 and Papers Please without feeling incredibly sloppy. I was fairly surprised seeing how this game was made by a single dev without having a massive amount of bugs or that's thrown together with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ AI or marketplace assets. This game has a certain charm that just makes it fun to play, and I'm looking forward to more updates.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun little game so far, just got started with my save, i will say i did have a small issue with the game but i reached out about my issues and the dev was so helpful and gave me the help i needed to fix my problem, fun game and great support, what more can you ask for
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →having a lot of fun playing this game. cant wait for all the new content! dev is awesome, as well!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a fun game and the dev is really helpfull and takes feedback into account when making this game. I love the gameplay its not to hard or to easy ether. I will def be adding this game to my gaming rotation.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →hello i wanna start with as this gmae is made by a solo developer it is amazing and very wel done he sohuld be proud off himself there is also lots do and so many upgrdes i cant wait to see how this game is developed and made for future
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got a review copy, played to get some clips and get to know the game and then got addicted. It has many hidden meme references and fun stuff. I love that u can dispose the bodies and feed aliens trash for money :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game so far, I can see the potential it will have, not to mention the comedy, the dev is definitely listening to the gamers playing. Checking out the road map it is only going to get better as time goes on so be patient with a solo dev
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is really great, it's a super beautiful game, the developer is super nice, he's a good person, he has a good heart and a beautiful soul, I like him a lot, and he likes people, he's close to the players. If you encounter a problem with the game, you can go to Discord to talk to him, he will be happy to answer you and help you correct the problem. I had a problem with the game, I couldn't fix it, because the graphic textures that the developer had installed were too high for my GPU…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Toll Booth Simulator is a super fun, quirky, and lighthearted game. The game combines resource management, time management, and business simulation into one well balanced bundle. The Pros The game is super stable and interesting to play. It take the best parts of other toll type games and leaves out a lot of the more complicated frustrating parts. The game has a lot of things to do and many areas to make money and grow. I played for two hours and did not make a dent in all of the things you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far I have enjoyed almost 15 hours. Looking forward to future content the developer is promising. Has humourus elements with plenty of potential.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Toll Booth Simulator has a really fun and unusual premise. You start with a huge debt, run a toll booth, check drivers, deal with UFOs, sell mocktails, farm, buy animals, hire workers, decorate a small home, and slowly build up your roadside business. The beginning pulled me in right away. The toll booth protocols, alien weirdness, farming, drinks, and business upgrades are all interesting ideas, and there are some funny moments that make the game stand out from other job/business sims. Right…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a Simulator addict, this is deff up there. it has a little bit of everything & i'm loving it. Honestly if the dev keeps up with these constant bug fixes & added content this might be a top 3 contender for relaxing sim games. the dev is also extremely helpfull & just a nice person overall. so thought i would write a review in support. Keep it up Tito!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is super fun. after going over the roadmap, I'm excited to see what's next..
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're into fun, chill simulation games, then this might be the game to try. It scratches an itch I didn't know I had and I keep coming back for more! It runs very smoothly. Any bugs I've encountered, if any, haven't been anything major and have been immediately addressed and fixed by the dev. Nothing is stopping me from playing the game! It's a fun and relaxing game that I can chill with after a long day. 10/10 would recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I highly recommend this game, especially for simulator games lovers. This is very different and unique style simulator game. ESpecially there are lots of contents in it and developer doing updates almost everyday. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →definitely recommend giving this game ago, I will say I was give this game as a preview / review, honestly didnt know what to expect but I had been eyeing it off for a little bit, so it was kind of a nice win win situation, and I love that the gave continues to grow. so I give props to the hard work this solo dev is doing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoying the game and the Dev is always happy to receive feedback and take on suggestion. Looking forward to seeing what updates are to come.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →solid recommendation, unless it gets abandoned. yes it's full release rn but it's the the full game as intended by the dev. the dev is SUPER responsive(I believe there have been patches daily almost, some multiple a day, depending on what the community encounters) which is always a good sign, and it genuinely feels like the dev wants their game to be the best version of itself that it can be. maybe assets are bought, I could care less, I have gotten a solid 10 hours of entertainment with almost…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game, its very fun and I love that you get the freedom to run around the map without a time limit on the people waiting at the toll booth. I play a lot of simulator games and I enjoy the fact that you have different options when it comes to making money. The farming and cocktail making is awesome, I like that you have a recipe book you can follow easily. Definitely 10/10 recommend!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Feels like an early access game with quite a few bugs and very clunky annoying gameplay interface that just wastes your time by making you put things in machine and pick them up one by one by one. Even selling the "mocktails" you can only sell 1 at a time. The fact that there is already a DLC for a game that has maybe 2 hours of content is pretty laughable. Feels like it was just a money grab by a developer that just tossed badly implemented random stuff from other games into this and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is fun for the first 2-3 hours. But it's nothing to do after that, so it doesn't worth those money. Reinstalled the game and my saves are gone.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far so good. Hopefully cloud sync becomes possible.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best simulator have I’ve played. It’s super fun. And plenty of things to do. I never find myself in a spot where I’m unsure about something. Definitely would suggest anyone playing this game,! 10/10 On a side note, if you buy it and join the developers discord, he takes suggestions/and bug fixes super seriously. And I’ve seen him fixing/adding stuff on a daily basis based off our feed back. 10/10 support as well!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game with charm, rise through the ranks of this papers please esk game where you must match up the documents correctly or face penalties! Hire employee's to help run your toll both, mix fruits to make mocktails and become rich! This game is showing a lot of promise and is constantly being updated. Worth the money, supporter pack also cheap as chips!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game runs well, that's about the last of the positive things i have to say. I played for thirty minutes and learned every aspect of the game none of them were really that interesting or fun. I downloaded it in hopes it would be a good paper passer game but the toll booth was just a small part of the actual game. It truly felt like the developer sat around with a bunch of buddies and made a bad version of all their favorite games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game needs more work but with a few small updates should be a fun time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game with daily updates . If you like fun games , give game try...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay, to be totally honest, I'm a wicked Jeep-head and I saw the green Jeep in the logo of the game and began watching the video of the dude playing from YouTube, and I got sucked right in...I had no idea it was going to be this good, NOT what I expected at all. This game has SO many outlandish slapstick humorous segments in it, I couldn't stop laughing... I caught myself yelling at the video like it was the Super Bowl... "Open the trunk! Put the gate back down! Don't have aliens as pets!…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looking at the Game Update & Future Plans seem to be headed in the right direction
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun initially but quickly becomes repeative and boring with little unique senarios or even more upgrades or advancements. Also needed a better wholeseller way to sell drinks than going door to door.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a cheap game that has the feeling of being a mix of a few games; schedule 1, papers please (loosely like "contraband police"), and Metro sim hustle. However it doesn't pull off as good a game feeling as any of those. The main issue is how it has overall decent gameplay that is lacking a focused tutorial and overall feeling of being unfinished. Basic features like saving the game seem extremely glitched right now. Continuing the game doesn't load the same situation that you left, and I'm…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game! Definitely needs some polish but has some good humor and features. Think, Contraband Police simplified, but also its Schedule I. Only complaint is I can't pet the corgi.
