1998: The Toll Keeper Story (PS5)

Port Factory was engaged to bring 1998: The Toll Keeper Story to PlayStation 5, adapting GameChanger Studio’s acclaimed narrative simulation for a new console audience. Set in the fictional Southeast Asian nation of Janapa, the game follows Dewi, a pregnant toll keeper attempting to protect herself and her unborn child as economic collapse and civil unrest transform everyday decisions into difficult moral choices.

Our scope included full technical porting, DualSense controller adaptation, user-interface and text-readability optimisation, platform-service integration, trophy implementation, PlayStation compliance and certification support. Particular care was taken to ensure that document inspection, vehicle processing and narrative interactions remained intuitive on a controller while preserving the game’s deliberate pacing and distinctive 1990s-inspired visual presentation.

The result is a seamless PlayStation 5 experience that retains the emotional weight and cultural identity of the original game while introducing its powerful story of survival, motherhood and moral responsibility to a broader console audience.
