The Grand Theft Auto-inspired sandbox game The Precinct has been a huge hit on Steam, with its demo downloaded over 100,000 times on the platform. In The Precinct, gamers play as a cop instead of a criminal, a change that tweaks the player's experience in many unique ways.
Allowing games to enjoy a GTA-like experience from a cop's point of view, The Precinct was first announced in 2023. Set during the 1980s in the fictional city of Averno, The Precinct’s plot centers around a rookie police officer named Nick Ordell Jr. who’s trying to uncover more information about the murder of his father. While roaming the city, players can deal with various crimes, from parking infractions to bank heists or drug deals. Also, due to playing from the point of view of a police officer, The Precinct brings some interesting innovations, such as allowing gamers to call for backup during firefights.
Almost everyone has played GTA 5 with a criminal mindset, but for those seeking a fresh approach, following the letter of the law has a lot to offer.
Now, The Precinct’s developer, Fallen Tree Games, has announced that the title’s demo has been downloaded on Steam...
