About this game

This Is the Police is a strategy/adventure game set in a city spiraling the drain. Taking the role of gritty Police Chief Jack Boyd, you'll dive into a deep story of crime and intrigue. Will Jack reach his retirement with a nice stack of bills, or will he end up broken ... or worse?

- 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.

A game which fails to properly convey its awesomeness. Apart from the gameplay, where the knowledge of many hidden mechanics determine your level of enjoyment, the story, art, music, and voice acting feel great. Also, as the game autosaves at the start of the day, there's no way to go back to a previous day. Only option is to restart the game. To new players: I urge you to read and watch guides to better understand the many unexplained features. It will transform your whole experience.

Game is really fun and always finds a way for me to keep playing. The story I find interesting and not too overly complicated. What is complicated are the investigations and how you can get stuck at some parts of the game and need to restart the week to get back on track. I really don't like how hard the game is sometimes and how much time it takes to complete the story including the many retries I've had to do.

I've put a handful of hours into this game and it's great! It's fundamentally a resource management game using police and detectives. I can't give it 5 stars, though, because if I didn't have a Galaxy Note phone with a stylus, this would be frustrating to play on a phone - recommend you only play on a tablet or with a stylus. The developer has done a great job otherwise but should adjust the sizing of the interface elements to improve mobile usability. Also - THANK YOU for the lack of IAP!
