  • Addictive and immersive gameplay loop combining management, simulation, and detective work that keeps players engaged for hours.
  • Strong foundation for a police station management simulator with a small-town atmosphere and plenty of potential for future expansion.
  • Smooth performance and good graphics for a prologue, with thoughtful details and intuitive mechanics that appeal to fans of the genre.
  • The prologue/demo is very short and limited in content, lacking features like hiring staff, arrests, and more active police work.
  • Gameplay can be repetitive and tedious, especially with paperwork, cleaning tasks, and inefficient driving mechanics.
  • Several bugs, optimization issues, and AI pathfinding problems reduce enjoyment and occasionally cause progress blockers.

    The gameplay is praised for its smooth, addictive management and simulation loop, with intuitive mechanics that encourage extended play despite some missing core features and minor bugs. While currently limited in scope, players appreciate the polished and engaging systems, especially police station management, and look forward to expanded content and more active gameplay in the full release. Some mechanics, like driving and pullover sequences, need refinement, but overall the gameplay offers a fresh, enjoyable police simulation experience.

    • “The gameplay loop is top tier and the simplicity is what really makes the game addictive, I think.”
    • “For a prologue build, the core mechanics feel very solid and engaging.”
    • “Game has good graphics, very functional gameplay is smooth and works well. I love the vision of the game and the gameplay style. I'm obsessed with how it’s all in a world you can move around in with lots of realistic features, even running water. The detective side is easy and lots of fun. I have only good things to say, I’m so excited for what’s to come. It looks polished for a prologue; I didn’t encounter any bugs within gameplay at all. I cannot wait to play with full features. I think this game is the police simulator everyone has been waiting for.”
    • “Didn't include many of the core game mechanics like hiring or actually solving crimes.”
    • “The car mechanic sim was kind of buggy and I'm surprised that this has been rushed into life.”
    • “Driving mechanics are too floaty and traffic is quite unruly; causing bottlenecks especially outside the police station (roadlights take too long to switch).”

  • stability

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    8% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 92% negative mentions

    The game's stability has improved since its initial prerelease, with many earlier bugs fixed, yet some users still report occasional glitches, freezes, and controller issues. Overall, while the game remains somewhat buggy and incomplete due to its early-release status, many find it still enjoyable and promising.

    • “This game is entirely too buggy in its current state.”
    • “Buggy and nigh unplayable.”
    • “The car mechanic sim was kind of buggy and I'm surprised that this has been rushed into life.”

  • graphics

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    63% positive mentions, -1% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The game's graphics are widely praised for being beautiful, polished, and realistic, featuring smooth performance and impressive details like running water and shadows. While generally excellent, some users noted minor issues, such as clunky car visuals and limited graphics settings. Overall, the visuals strongly contribute to an engaging and immersive experience, especially impressive for an early access title.

    • “Very cool concept, very cool game, amazing graphics, amazing gameplay.”
    • “Game has good graphics, very functional gameplay is smooth and works well. I love the vision of the game and the gameplay style. I’m obsessed with how it’s all in a world you can move around in, with lots of realistic features, even running water. I think the detective side is easy and lots of fun. Have absolutely only good things to say. I’m so excited for what’s to come for this game. It looks polished for a prologue. I didn’t encounter any bugs within gameplay at all. I cannot wait till playing with full features. I think this game is the police simulator game everyone has been waiting for, and I wish this game had more awareness of its existence because it’s going to be the best realistic, functional, fun, and creative police sim. I wish I could play it more but there's not much to do now after completing. This is even worth it to play; it’s free. The game felt polished and it’s just early access. I know this game will be going places.”
    • “The graphics are beautiful, with nice shadows, and the performance is very smooth.”
    • “No options in the graphics settings exist to help with that.”
    • “The car graphics are a little clunky (are we using the same engine as Contraband Police by any chance?) and some of the tasks aren't entirely logical but it's interesting and quite varied for the early state it's in.”
    • “That said, the graphics are solid, and there’s definitely potential here.”

  • story

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The story is currently minimal and feels underdeveloped, serving mostly as a basic prologue or tutorial. Users express a desire for a more engaging narrative, possibly with voiceovers or a dedicated story mode, to enhance the overall experience.

    • “Pretty decent simulation, but I'd rather see this developed more precisely with all the animations, good optimization, and perhaps even a story mode with voiceovers.”
    • “A nice short story so far with the prologue, just telling us the main tutorial.”
    • “Hoping to see more story intertwined within the parts I've already played.”
    • “Or 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?' but instead made a cleaning upgrade simulator with no story, and it's like watching paint dry.”
    • “I had to replay the first mission three times just to get it to recognize the first room was clean.”

    Grinding primarily involves repetitive cleaning tasks and document verification that many find tedious and dull. While some players remain hopeful due to the game's promises, the core gameplay loop of grinding can feel monotonous and burdensome.

    • “A tiny bit of cleaning sim & a tedious 'Papers Please' style document verification!”
    • “The demo is pretty tedious but I'm going to give it a positive for now based on what they are promising.”
    • “Albeit, that is a main part of the game, by God the cleaning is tedious and dumb.”
