This Is the Police

released on Jul 27, 2016

Jack Boyd, beloved police chief of Freeburg, has 180 days before he's forced to retire. But Jack won't be going out quietly. Over the next six months, he'll be going all out to fulfill a dream: earn half a million dollars, any way he can. That might be play money for a corrupt cop, but up until now, Jack has been playing by the book. Even with overtime, in six months he wouldn't make fifty grand. But a police chief has access to all sorts of… informal income. Bribes, weapons and drug sales, deals with the Mafia, skimming off the budget, kickbacks – you name it. And Jack is tired of playing nice. He's is ready for anything, but only you can decide how far he'll go.

This game moves halfway between several genres, on the one hand the story develops as a visual novel with small decision making, and the gameplay is a simple management of the police station, choosing troops, the priority of the cases and some small puzzle with investigations.

Its story does not have an amazing script or full of twists, but personally it did captivate me and it is largely the reason why I enjoyed directing the police station. On the other hand, its management system is not very deep either, so don't expect hours and hours and hours of play per game.

We have 180 days of micro-management of the police station, with the life of our protagonist among gangsters and politicians, making decisions to do the best possible for the department and for ourselves, experiencing all kinds of situations.

The game is entertaining and, in my opinion, recommended. 6/10

I dunno what it is about this game. The gameplay is so boring, but strangely addictive. I was just in a constant state of "complete one more day" until it was over. It made me strangely emotional to lose officers and detectives to the random events and I was so obsessed with building my force and training them up just to have some people disappear randomly from my roster at points. I can't even articulate how strange this experience was.
Did I enjoy it? I can't even tell you, to be honest.

first time i’ve ever really played smth like this, and it was a good time. mechanics were fun, and the story had a simple and engaging premise.

it just went wayyyyy too long and concluded in a lacklustre way. most of my choices (from a story perspective) didn’t really matter, which was kinda a let down. cut it in like half, or by a third, and i would have enjoyed it much more.

still had a good time though.

This game is obviously something that the writing team put quite a bit of work into, which is unfortunate because I think thats its a game that really tasks you to keep up with it. I'd hesistate to call it boring, its a good way to engage your brain without having to exercise the same muscles as you would in games where the decisions are all made in real time. I find it to be relaxing, which is perhaps its best quality, good for anyone looking for a calmer and less difficult in execution game.

Um jogo legal se vc for um streamer/youtubers, já para o resto, acho q se torna um jogo extremamente repetitivo.

дроп но норм хохо
