More about this game
Step into the shoes of Officer Jones as you respond to an incident in Central Park. Your goal is to de-escalate a volatile theft, secure the suspects, and protect a vulnerable group. The core loop involves reading body-cam intelligence, making tactical dialogue choices to manage calm and risk levels, and reacting to quick-time events before the 5-second window closes. The run ends when you successfully contain the situation, if suspects Craig and Dex escape, or if risk reaches the failure threshold of 85. You must balance gathering evidence with keeping the peace.
Tips
- Keep an eye on the risk meter; if it hits 85, the situation escalates and you fail.
- You need to gather 2 pieces of evidence to fully resolve the incident.
- During quick-time events, you only have 5 seconds to tap the target before the window closes.
Questions
How do I win?
You win by securing both suspects, recovering the cane, keeping the group safe, and gathering at least 2 pieces of evidence without exceeding 85 risk.
What happens if I fail a quick-time event?
Failing a quick-time event increases risk significantly and may cause suspects to escape, leading to a failed containment.
What do the different choice tags mean?
Choices are tagged as 'good' or 'risky'. Risky choices often increase risk but might offer a faster resolution, while good choices help maintain calm.
