Beat Cop on the way to Switch
11 bit Studios had This War of Mine, Moonlighter, and Children of Morta featured in today’s Indie Highlights presentation. But the company actually has a fourth title lined up for Switch: Beat Cop.
Beat Cop, a retro, pixel art style adventure set in New York City and inspired by 80’s cop shows, has players taking on the role of Jack Kelly. After being framed for murder, you’ll need to find out who set you up.
Here’s more information and a trailer:
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 gloom. 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 jungle out there baby, and sometimes you just need something to release the stress.
Beat Cop launches on Switch this fall.
