Greetings, officers!

We’ve been preparing this Police Stories version for a long time. An updated partner with improved AI. A new police story telling about a crazy anarchist Charlie McDennis. Finally, a Halloween mode in which you’ll meet the long-awaited zombies for the first time.

1. Partner with a switchable behaviour

Passive mode

• Enabled by default;
  
• The partner behaves as before, acting strictly on the player’s orders;
  
• The partner will pay attention to the points of potential threat;
  
• If the partner is left idle (not on the order), he will return to the player.
  

Active mode

• The partner will stand still only by the order of the player, in other cases he will return to the player automatically;
  
• The partner himself looks at the points of potential threat, from where the suspects are expected to appear;
  
• When meeting a suspect, the partner now independently takes actions to neutralize them if the player is not nearby:
  
  1. Asks them to surrender;
     
  2. In case of disobedience, he uses physical force;
     
  3. In case of aggressive resistance, uses a weapon;
     
  4. If a suspect starts to run away, the partner will pursue them as long as he considers it safe;
     
  5. Picks up weapons dropped from suspects;
     
  
  
• If the suspect gives themselves away, the partner will be ready for their actions;
  
• The player's commands have the highest priority unless a suspect is raising a weapon.

2. New campaign “The Story of Charlie McDennis”

• The new campaign opens after completing the main one, its story begins after John's first working day with Rick;
  
• Five new missions, which we have slightly redone from the previous beta.
  

3. Halloween Mode

• Theme decorations and a zombie character;
  
• You can switch it from the main menu;
  
• We advise you to play the new campaign without the zombie mode on first;
  
• Zombie Character:
  
  1. Attacks the nearest person, regardless of whether they are a policeman or a suspect;
     
  2. You must save the suspects who haven’t picked up their weapons from the zombies, otherwise you will be charged with unjustified violence;
     
  3. Find your way to deal with an unexpected threat.
     

Make sure to share your impressions of the zombies! We plan to create a full-fledged zombie mode, which will significantly differ from the current one. We hope you like the new features!
