Dive into a deep story of corruption, crime and intrigue. Take the role of gritty Police Chief Jack Boyd, and come face to face with the ugly underbelly of Freeburg, a city spiraling the drain. Will Jack reach his retirement with a nice stack of bills, or will he end up broken ... or worse?
Manage your staff, respond to emergencies, and investigate crimes in a city on the brink of chaos. The mafia underworld maneuvers behind the scenes, sinking their claws ever deeper into the city, even as the mayor is ready to exploit every situation to his political advantage.
Choose your approach to each situation as it unfolds. Sometimes you’ll be responding to a developing crisis at a crime scene, or negotiating with Freeburg’s crime bosses. Sometimes you’ll find yourself dodging questions in the press room, or even the occasional cross-examination in the witness box. Can you keep this pressure cooker from exploding, at least for long enough to stash away a nice retirement nest egg?
Your mission is clear: make $500,000 in 180 days, before Jack Boyd reaches retirement. How? That’s up to you!
Decisions, decisions! This Is the Police is all about a dark story and how you react to it. Whatever you decide, your choices will influence the game – and the fate of Jack Boyd.
The Good, the Bad, and... the Ugly? The Chief of Freeburg's Police Department deals with all kind of people. It is up to you to find the bad guys, and decide how to deal with them.
Carry out your duties. As head of Freeburg PD, Jack deals with all sorts of challenges every day: responding to emergencies, managing his officers, defending the department against City Hall and a corrupt mayor, and much more.
Solve Investigations and gather evidence against the criminal gangs of Freeburg.
Deal with the competing powers of the city. Everyone offers you favors, and each one comes at a price.
Rich and fully voiced story: Jack Boyd is portrayed by Jon St. John, the voice of Duke Nukem.
Nice game, with a great soundtrack, and nice voice acting.
Its not a deep managing game, but i'm loving it.
The soundtrack is not available to buy, and is not on mp3 or ogg format inside the game folder, so i cant get it outside the game.
There's enough content here for maybe a 6 hour game. I've been playing for twice that, and as far as I can tell, I'm only half way through. Bought on sale for $7.50.
Ahoy! Spoilers ahead!
The game is not political, it is human. It is, although, about human in the world of politicians. The dissapointment of player is empathy - it is pain of losing moral focus, pain of betraying himself and everything he believed in; and player feeling f&%ked over and left out is the sign that game, as a vehicle, succeded.
Yes, the system is rigged. And the game that is very honest in it’s depiction. It is nor mayor, nor serial killer, nor gang leader that Boyd is opposing - it is the system. That is why the final scene is at the club. The system won, it chewed and spat Jack out. “This is the police” isn’t about the system though. And the player is playing not against the system - one plays against the narrative.
The game made me recall some situations I had to deal with as a manager, some situations with “forces to be” and some situations with close ones - and they never have been totally explicit. Just as they are in game. And really, one never knows everything about the choices he makes, in the moment, or even years after. “You know, s&*t happens. Deal with it.” It’s a tough lesson and games usually avoid it.
Games are made to make profits, to make big profits. And for that they do everything, they stroke all our sensitive spots, they say what we want to hear and avoid being sincere. They tell us “good always wins”, and “racism is bad” (with consequent “if rasict, than [is part of] forces of evil!”), and “good gys are feminist”, and “trust your police - they’re good guys!”, and, always “you are exceptional”. Games became disney’s domain - bland, ever praising “press X to win”. Games are the last generation of storytelling medium, more contemporary than movies or books. This game is very strong in delivering it’s message to anyone capable of being open and honest while playing.
And the message is very intimate - in fact, it is between Boyd and player, not pre-recorded by game creators. It's what Jack will do when he stops counting.
The gameplay is too easy and VERY slow, i found myself instinctively looking for the speed up button because i had to wait minutes for anything to happen, terrible experience.
It's almost a very good game. It's a fantastic police simulation game, running the callouts, managing staff, it all plays and feels great but, it's trapped in the most awful, immature and just intolerable visual novel imaginable.
It's so hard on dark and edgy™ and taking mature to mean r18 or got 12 year old boys with no female friends to write it.
It could be brilliant, apparently there is a version of it which is good, just the simulation and police game without the story, other people have mentioned it, but because you'd have to get through the story to unlock it no way would that be worth it.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
