Beat Cop is an amazing adventure game from 11 bit studios. Explore the darkest corners of New York 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. Someone framed you and no one cares 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.
As a police officer you have access to a few useful items. Your belt contains a watch, a radio, a set of tickets, handcuffs, revolver and a notepad. The watch shows how much time to the end of the shift remains. The radio will be used automatically whenever Jack needs to report something during a conversation. Your basic weapon during the shift is the tickets. Kelly will pull them out automatically once you finish watching the car and select the option to issue a ticket. Handcuffs can be used only when you chase a petty criminal. Once you are near him, a green handcuff icon will appear above him. Select the handcuffs from your belt and you will see arrest animation. The notebook is your personal encyclopedia.
