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.

Love the gameplay, the setting, the music and art style. Two VERY big issues I've run into, however, are 1. The game uploads saves extremely infrequently, so I lost 30 days of progress when I had to get a new phone. And 2. The game WILL NOT STAY RUNNING. Do not put your phone to sleep, don't go send a text message, don't do anything else or the game will relaunch when you open it back up, losing any progress you made on your current day. Devs had no idea what they're doing with the mobile port.

Had the PC version, liked the game. But it's a big shocker when i saw the price on mobile and the mobile phone interface sucked, my finger is too fat and the interface is too small. It's simply a game where the game just got slapped into the mobile phone without thinking about it's interfaces. However still recommend. Good game nonetheless.
