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?

- 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.

Ratings and reviews

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.

This game is great. I've only played half of it so far and it's got me sucked in. But as with every game there are a few flaws. I find the audio gets a bit bugged after I start using bluetooth earbuds. Not when im using the earbuds, but after I take them out and want to use the phone speakers. Also the text is a little small for me to read, I play on a Galaxy note 10 plus. But other than that, it's been a joy. Can't wait to play the second one once I'm done with this one.

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!
