About This Is the Police

This Is the Police poster

This Is the Police plunges you into a deep story of corruption, crime, and intrigue as Jack Boyd, a gritty police chief confronting the ugly underbelly of Freeburg, a city circling the drain. The central question hangs over everything: will Jack reach retirement with a comfortable stack of cash, or end up broken, or worse?

The strategy-driven gameplay has you managing staff, responding to emergencies, and investigating crimes in a city teetering on the edge of chaos. The mafia works behind the scenes, sinking its claws ever deeper, while the mayor stands ready to twist any situation to his own political advantage, leaving Jack squeezed from every direction.

How you handle each unfolding situation is up to you. One moment you're reacting to a developing crisis at a crime scene or bargaining with Freeburg's crime bosses; the next you're deflecting questions in the press room or facing cross-examination in the witness box. The pressure never really lets up, and the real test is whether you can keep this simmering pot from boiling over, at least long enough to squirrel away a decent nest egg. Blending adventure, strategy, and indie storytelling on PC, it's a tense study of moral compromise.
