Jack Kelly used to be a detective, but he has been framed for murder and now walks a beat in Brooklyn. Each shift mixes everyday police work, such as writing tickets and scolding pedestrians, with the bigger job of finding out who set him up, while a hostile boss, the local mafia and trouble at home all push back.
Pixel art and a 1980s cop-show style set a gritty, darkly funny tone. The story is nonlinear with multiple endings, so choices on the street matter. It is a single-player game for those who enjoy crime stories, black humor and a mix of detective work with routine patrol duty.
