This Is the Police is a strategy/adventure game set in a city spiraling the drain. You’ll come face to face with the ugly underbelly of Freeburg, taking the role of gritty Police Chief Jack Boyd (portrayed by Jon St. John, the voice of Duke Nukem).
Dive into a deep story of corruption, crime and intrigues. You are taking the role of gritty Police Chief Jack Boyd – you’ll come face to face with the ugly underbelly of Freeburg, a city spiraling the drain. Will Jack see his retirement with a nice sum of money waiting to be spend or will he end up broken … or even worse?
Immerse yourself in a controversial tale of corruption, crime, and political intrigue. Manage your staff, respond to emergencies, and investigate crimes in a city on the brink of chaos. The mafia underworld maneuvers behind the scenes, sinking their claws ever deeper into the city, even as the mayor is ready to exploit every situation to his political advantage.
Choose your approach to each situation as it unfolds. Sometimes you’ll be responding to a developing crisis at a crime scene, or negotiating with Freeburg’s crime bosses. Sometimes you’ll find yourself dodging questions in the press room, or even the occasional cross-examination in the witness box. Can you keep this pressure cooker from exploding, at least for long enough to stash away a nice retirement nest egg? Or will you land yourself behind bars — or worse?
🌍️ Wikipedia:
This Is the Police is an adventure strategy video game developed by Weappy Studio and published by EuroVideo Medien. It was released on August 2, 2016 for Microsoft Windows, OS X and Linux. In the game, the player controls the protagonist Jack Boyd, who is being forced into early retirement by the corrupt mayor. The game takes place in the fictional city of "Freeburg" in the late 1980s during Boyd's final one hundred and eighty days on the force. The game received mixed reviews.
Gameplay
This Is the Police is a real-time management video game where the player controls protagonist Jack Boyd, a police chief in the game's location of Freeburg set to retire in one hundred and eighty days. The gameplay is presented via imagery and text on an isometric map. The player is tasked to make $500,000 in his final six months on the force, through various ways which the player chooses; one of the options include utilizing the local mafia. The mafia may ask the player to turn a blind eye towards some of the crimes and be rewarded with money, or if they wish to stay alive. The player receives calls and they are tasked to prioritize certain ones while dealing with staffing. Depending of the severity of the calls, the amount of police sent varies. If it's a case of assault, only two police need to go, but if it's an armed robbery, ten may need to go. As the game progresses, the player is able to send SWAT Teams and reinforcements. The player must strategize about how many officers they sent to each crime, because if there are no spare officers, some crimes cannot be stopped. Failure to stop crimes results in the player's squad and pay being reduced. Later on during the game, the department's officers will start taking sides between the two main political figures, Mayor Rogers and Robespierre. The political views of the player's officers are unknown unless they make one of them a rat, which increases the likelihood of mistrust and the death of the officer while docking some of your pay in order to recompense that officer for his information. Sending out squads of officers with differing political opinions degrades unit cohesion, causing more failures unless groups of officers with similar morals and values are sent to the scene of the crime. The game also features crime investigation gameplay, where you must piece together what happened leading up to a crime and capture the criminal. The endgame features an assault on your political ally's rival and involves strategical placement of units.

Plongez dans une profonde histoire de corruption, de crime et d'intrigues. Vous incarnez le courageux chef de la police Jack Boyd - vous retrouvant face à aux bas fonds de la ville de Freeburg, une ville entrée dans la spirale de sa perte. Jack verra-t-il sa retraite arriver avec une belle somme d'argent n'attendant que d'être dépensée ou va-t-il finir cassé ... ou pire encore ?
Plongez dans une épopée controversée de corruption, de crime et d'intrigue politique. Managez votre personnel, répondez aux urgences et enquêtez sur les crimes dans une ville au bord du chaos. Le milieu de la mafia manœuvre en coulisse, enfonçant ses griffes de plus en plus profondément dans la ville, alors même que le maire est prêt à exploiter chaque situation à son avantage politique.
Choisissez votre approche pour chaque situation qui se présente. Parfois, vous répondrez au développement d'une crise sur une scène de crime, ou négocierez avec les patrons du crime de Freeburg. Parfois, vous devrez éluder les questions en salle de presse, ou même mènerez occasionnellement un contre-interrogatoire en salle des témoins.
Parviendrez-vous à empêcher cette cocotte-minute d'exploser, du moins pendant assez longtemps pour vous mettre de côté un joli magot pour la retraite ?
Ou allez-vous vous retrouver derrière les barreaux - ou pire ?
