Gameplay
editSet in the same universe as American Fugitive, the game takes place in Averno City (a fictional place inspired by New York City) during 1983, the player controls Nick Cordell Jr., the son of late police chief Nick Cordell Sr.[1][2] Starting equipment includes a 6-shot .38 revolver, a baton, and a taser. Similar to the Police Quest series, the player has to follow police procedures such as writing tickets for improperly parked vehicles, only using force when necessary, reading a suspect's Miranda rights, and booking arrested suspects at the station. Players can also call backup and use helicopters.[3]
Development
editOriginally slated for an August 15, 2024 release,[4] The Precinct was delayed to a Fall 2024 release due to time constraints.[5] As part of Steam's October 2024 Next Fest, a demo was released on October 14.[6]
