I went into This is the Police having never heard of the game. So far, 2 hours in and I am pleasantly surprised. The gameplay is closest to Papers Please relating to games I have previously played, but is still an experience fairly unique amongst games I have played. In terms of the games story, it has kept me very interested and I am ready to keep playing when I get the chance. Immediately the opening cutscene shows that the morals of the players will be brought into question, or at least the morals of the character they are controlling, Jack Boyd. The game forces the player to make decisions quickly, ranging in difficulty from choosing a number of officers to send to a crime scene to other groups pressuring the player to make difficult decisions. The first of these I encountered was the mayor’s office ordering me to fire all black officers. Not only would I have had to fire several officers, all of them were among the highest performing in my unit. I chose to face the wrath of the mayor and not fire anyone, and still have yet to do so. My toughest decision came when deciding whether or not to take Kendrick’s place as the Mafia’s inside man. I took a short break during this time to get some food and think on what my decision might mean in the game, and what kind of character I intended for Jack to be. I decided to help Kendrick and the game immediately made me feel like I had chosen the wrong thing, with Jack immediately thinking he was acting irrationally by allowing himself to work for the Mafia. From my perspective, I feel like no matter what I did I would end up forced to work for the Mafia, so I decided to attempt and keep Kendrick alive. It seems like the remainder of the game will be quite interesting, with more decisions on what cases to pursue and who to keep happy.
