The gameplay receives mixed feedback, with many critics finding it clunky, slow, and unpolished, particularly criticizing the shooting mechanics and turn-based hybrid approach that deviates from expected fast-paced FPS action. However, some appreciate the game's investigative elements and level variety, noting potential in the core concept despite the awkward execution and experimental feel of its mechanics. Overall, the gameplay is seen as needing significant improvement to fully realize its promise.
- “Great gameplay and I like the investigating part as well as the shootouts.”
- “Turn based combat in an FPS setting and card style negotiations dialogue choices are not mechanics I expected but still worked well.”
- “The game has very exciting stealth and shooting mechanics.”
- “Can't even recommend; it's not fun and is boring, resembling an old Facebook flash game but with worse mechanics and even worse execution.”
- “The core idea is interesting and shows promise, but the gameplay feels clunky and unpolished.”
- “The shooting mechanics involved with taking out a suspect are overcomplicated and clunky.”

The story is engaging and well-designed with interesting missions that blend RTS and detective elements, though currently limited to just three missions in a prologue format. Some players find the narrative a bit repetitive and the mission difficulty uneven, with occasional bugs affecting gameplay. Overall, it hooks players with its non-linear approach and immersive scenarios but leaves many wanting more content and refinement.
- “The story got me hooked and the graphics, even though I played it on medium, were beautiful.”
- “Compliments to the developers—very well designed from the graphics to the storylines.”
- “Excellent American police simulator, capturing the non-linearity of the story.”
- “♥♥♥♥ only 3 missions”
- “How are the devs going to keep it fresh and not have us play the same missions over and over again”
- “The dialog is off and the missions come off as being a little too much, too fast, especially with a timer in play.”
monetization
9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The monetization approach is heavily criticized for essentially being an advertisement disguised as a game, misleading users into downloading promotional content rather than a full product. This tactic is seen as exploitative and harmful, taking up valuable storefront space that could be used by legitimate developers and offering little value despite being free.
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
- “This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game.”
- “Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demos/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers.”

The graphics are generally considered decent and well-designed, with some users praising their beauty and optimization, while others find them average or somewhat generic. Lighting issues causing a washed-out appearance were noted, but overall the visuals are seen as functional and suitable for the game's style.
- “The game has great graphics, good optimization.”
- “Let's start with the graphics: for such a game, very good graphics, which does not hurt the eyes, in a word very playable.”
- “The story got me hooked and the graphics even though I played it on medium were beautiful.”
- “I couldn't have been more disappointed by the generic indie dev graphics, which felt very uninspired and low-quality.”
- “The graphics are pretty well done in some scenes, but the lighting often gives a washed-out look that diminishes the overall visual appeal.”
- “The dialogue boxes are recklessly tacky, which combined with the graphics, really detracts from the immersion.”
