There is an interesting looking indie game out right now, which is basicly a corrupt police management simulator. It has stuff about corruption, beating down feminists and black people. And Kotaku is of course up in arms and gives the game a bad review. Thankfully most people on steam rate it as Recommended (95%).
As I see it, these are pretty funny scenarios.And...that’s about the end of where I have nice things to say about This is the Police.
I mean...look at this.
Um, OK
And this:
Big Woman. The conspiracy goes all the way to the top.
And:
You fail the mission if you select “No”
I brushed these off initially as part of a developing narrative, in which the game was leading me towards a very dark sense of humour.
There isn’t one. This is just...the way this game rolls. There isn’t anything smart being said here, there isn’t a heroic undercurrent to your work, you’re simply given repulsive tasks to do and told to do them, or else.
