Publisher and developer Level-5 shared new gameplay and information for DECAPOLICE.
The new trailer and gameplay show off the main characters in their recently announced “crime suspense RPG.”
Here’s a rundown on the game, its new trailer, and its new gameplay:
DECAPOLICE
DECASIM, a virtual world created from a perfect copy of reality. More than just a simulation, it’s a complete copy of a real city, a forbidden place where memories of every past crime lie dormant. “Clues” found in DECASIM can help unravel the riddles of the real world.
Collect all the evidence to uncover the truth
With the help of “DECASIM”, which can reproduce any event occuring in the city, you can find clues to solve cases in the real world. Clip the collected evidence to the “Case Board” and find the solution to crack the case.
Force may be required to arrest culprits
When confronting a cornered criminal, it can be possible to appeal to their heart and make them surrender. Sometimes, however, they will turn into “Crime Beasts”, embodiments of malice, and attack. Make use of futuristic gimmicks to incapacitate and arrest them.
