The Precinct

The Precinct

The Precinct is a top-down action sandbox game where you play as rookie officer Nick Cordell Jr. patrolling the neon-lit streets of 1983 Averno City. Set in a vibrant open world with day-night cycles and dynamic weather, the game blends police simulator mechanics with arcade-style chaos. Players can issue tickets, respond to calls, investigate crimes, and engage in fast-paced pursuits on foot, in vehicles, and even by helicopter.

The story follows Nick’s journey to uncover the truth behind his father’s mysterious death while navigating a city full of corruption and escalating gang violence. Alongside the main campaign, players can unlock a Solo Mode, customize their squad cars and outfits, and take on procedurally generated calls in an ever-evolving sandbox. The Precinct offers a mix of structure and freedom, drawing clear inspiration from classic GTA-style gameplay with a law enforcement twist.
