This Is The Police by Geckoo1337
This Is The Police is a short story - a game using text. For an unknown reason the world has been attacked by zombies, and as an officier working in the emergency center, you have to help a nurse in a hospital so as to save her life. In this game, there is a kind of inventory system. You start with nothing, but you have to collect items or information so as to progress in game. I use a dialog system so as to create this story, some UI features - and black humor :)
Escape to close application and (R) to restart game when she is dead :(
PS : just to help you. If you see ??? as option, it means that you have to find something so as to unlock button ++

Thank you for making this game!
My one piece of feedback would be that the text scrolling is just a hair short, It could be sped up by like 30 or 40 percent.
How did you get that scan-line look over everything? It was something I would have liked to implement on mine!
Good job, nice work :)
Others have said the text prints out too slowly, I mostly agree with them, but I imagine it could be done okay. The problem is that the game kills us a lot (almost every choice has one or two that ends the game, sometimes they are not obvious -- ex. the codes in the elevator) and we have to restart and play the same content multiple times. Some of the messages were long too (especially the players, maybe the players could print out immediately, and the NPCs could print out slowly). Or you could just go with the simple fix (especially if the slow printing isn't used for something else -- time based puzzles?) and have a button to skip the slow printing.
Good work!
As for the story I felt the choices were a little too straight forward - it was too easy in my opinion. I would love to see this with a few more branching story lines and different paths you could direct your distress caller in.
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience playing through it, though, and the story was nice even though it was a bit short.
Great entry.
