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?

Features:
✔ 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.

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!

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.

This is a good game, though one (of sadly, many) that was originally made for PC and didn't get enough compression and optimization for Android. And as such the Play Pass access to it just convinced me to get the PC version instead. I don't think a modern phone like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9s is supposed to heat up with a game like this, plus some text fields are hard to read unless I almost touch the phone with my nose.
