Set in the fictional country of Janapa, 1998: The Toll Keeper Story follows Dewi, a pregnant toll booth operator navigating the hardships of life during a time of national crisis. Inspired by the 1998 Asian financial crisis, the game places players in a dark and uncertain world, where social, economic, and moral pressures weigh heavily on Dewi.
In the game, the players must inspect vehicles, verify documents, and determine who may pass through her checkpoint. As protests erupt, prices surge, and institutional trust erodes, the player has to make decisions that directly impact Dewi’s survival and that of her unborn child.
The audience response has been positive, with the game reaching 10,000 wishlists on Steam. According to the developer, the decision to release the game on the Google Play Store with the Indonesian language Option was also taken after hearing the player feedback.
