❤ Manage the Police Force

As Police Chief Jack Boyd, you must oversee the day-to-day operations of the police department in the city of Freeburg over the course of 180 in-game days. This involves deploying your officers to respond to 911 calls, with each officer possessing unique skills and experience levels that you must consider.

❤ Investigate Complex Crimes

In addition to routine calls, you can send detectives to investigate more complex crimes. These investigations task you with piecing together evidence frame-by-frame to uncover the details of each case. Successful detective work leads to arrests and convictions, which provide financial benefits.

❤ Navigate Political and Criminal Pressures

Throughout the game, you must navigate a web of political and criminal pressures. The corrupt mayor and powerful mafia organization try to influence your decisions, presenting opportunities for graft and bribery, as well as threats of retaliation. Your choices, whether ethical or underhanded, shape the trajectory of the story and determine Jack Boyd's ultimate fate.

❤ Immersive Noir Atmosphere

The game's striking visual style, atmospheric soundtrack, and gritty noir-inspired narrative create a deeply immersive experience. As you manage the police force and confront the city's dark underbelly, you find yourself fully invested in the fate of Jack Boyd and the city of Freeburg.

❤ Depth and Player Agency

The gameplay offers a unique blend of strategy, management, and player agency. Rather than presenting binary moral options, the game presents nuanced scenarios where there may not be a clear "right" or "wrong" answer. Your decisions have significant impacts, making each playthrough a compelling and consequential experience.
