“I never thought that writing fines, deciding the fate of the cockroach dynasty, saving the gentlemen and executing other things for the benefit of your district, can be so fascinating.”

Reviews

“Beat Cop is a highly engrossing and addictive adventure, a cross between classic ’80s action and routine cop duty...”
4/5 – Hardcore gamer

“Where this game really shines through is in its sense of humor. While there are many situations that feel like they have a serious undertone, the loudest aspect is the way your character acts as your favorite, cheesiest '80s action cop”
A- – Gaming Age

“I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone under 18 as you’re dealing with a lot of adult themes including drugs, prostitution, organized crime, and porn.”
8/10 – http://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/03/30/crime-racism-swearing-80s-find-beat-cop/

About This Game

New York, more like a beast than a city. Explore it’s darkest corners and uncover its secrets as Jack Kelly, a former detective who has been framed for a murder. Degraded and forgotten by old pals, it’s your last chance to find the truth behind this whole terrible mess. The thing is, your new boss treats you like shit, your wife is a money sucking spawn from hell and the local mafia wants your head on a plate. I guess you could say that things are complicated down here, in the middle of Brooklyn. Oh, and don't forget about writing tickets, reprimanding pedestrians & such. You're a beat cop after all.


NONLINEAR STORY WITH MULTIPLE ENDINGS

Someone framed you and no one gives a rat’s ass about this but you. Turn every stone in this city and find out who did that. The further you investigate the more missing puzzles you’ll find, but be careful. Some things should never be brought to daylight.


THE ESSENCE OF '80 COP SHOWS

Have you ever dreamed of being one of the heroes of cop movies? Of course you did, like we all. Now you have a chance! Be sexier than Sonny Crocket and tougher than Dirty Harry. And if witty comebacks won’t work, you can always do some old school ass kicking. It’s ’80s after all!


THE HUMOR THAT YOUR MOM WOULDN'T APPROVE

Be sarcastic. Be gloomy. Be whatever you want. There are thousands of things in this world you can laugh at, and even more you shouldn’t, but who cares. It’s a jungle out there baby, and sometimes you just need something to release the stress.
