This Is the Police

This Is the Police is a gripping and gritty strategy-adventure game that plunges players into the morally ambiguous world of law enforcement, blending management simulation with narrative-driven choices. Developed by Weappy Studio, the game offers a compelling mix of resource management, crime investigation, and tough decision-making, all wrapped in a noir-inspired atmosphere. It’s a game that challenges players not just to solve crimes but to navigate the complex and often corrupt systems underlying a city on the brink of chaos, making it a thoughtful and mature experience that stands out in the indie game scene. At its core, This Is the Police places you in the shoes of Jack Boyd, a police chief facing the final 180 days before his forced retirement. The game’s narrative drives much of its appeal, presenting a layered story filled with political intrigue, personal conflicts, and ethical dilemmas. Jack is a flawed protagonist struggling with financial pressures, city politics, an...

It's an ok game. I enjoyed my time playing this game. TO avoid some false impression, this game is a visual novel and not a police simulator. meaning there is general path the game wants you to choose and play. the game deliberately doesnt explain the mechanics clearly to make you feel the sense of urgency and anticipate next moves, but once you fully understand the mechanics, this game becomes way forging and you could exploit the mechanics . The gameplay loop is like a yakuza cabaret club minigame, where you can assign people on a certain crime and people that you're assigning has stats (which can be improved). can get tired, has time limit factor, and other random events that can affect the game play the problem is the random events regarding to your officers and detectives are totally random and might cause some frustration while playing The daily events are not random though. It is fixed for each path. The random factor besides the wellbeing of your characters are the relat...

This game has a great art style and soundtrack, but the gameplay loop is AWFUL. For the first hour or two, it is engaging, especially with the detective scene put-together. But sitting their directing cops around is honestly really boring. The story is somewhat engaging but it can't overcome the gameplay. I also very much dislike sitting there for 10 seconds after the newspaper clips to start the main game.

How was I supposed to know that he stole my wife? Am I a cuckold or what? /What a nightmare, I supported him, tried so hard, and in the end, they took away both me and my post, and he even loves my wife. I have no words for how angry I am. Honestly, I couldn’t imagine it would be this sad and painful... I am completely alone now, I just wanted to be happy.

The best thing about it the soundtrack. Everything else is just boring.

All I can say is, if you are a perfectionist, it will be hard to resist the urge to reload a previous save so as to prevent a perfect run that broke apart when one character died because of random chance. Still, a very good game that intrigued me since I saw it on mobile a very long while back. Fully recommend.

Cool game

I played this game on my phone twice, different choices, and now currently finishing it again here This game is fun and shows the aspect of corrupt leaders and making some difficult decisions to do with your officers, though some people don't have the patience of waiting stuff to happen, but its nice to see stuff to build up, I love the background music you can choose, I love Sweet Ginger Green I recommend playing this game, preferably when its on sale
