Space Cop lets you solve crime, find love, and follow your sax dreams
Murderer still at large
Ninjaconor has casually dropped their DOS-adventure-inspired RPG, Sergeant Squidley: Space Cop, on PCs everywhere.
Ninjaconor says that Sergeant Squidley is inspired by text-based DOS games, and I totally see the aesthetic. It has big crunchy pixels and lots of text boxes. However, looking at all the media for it – it looks like a dating sim.
It might be partially due to the eponymous police-thing browsing a dating site, but that’s not what I’m talking about. We’re told that there are seven days for the former traffic cop to solve the crime, and you do so by choosing how you spend your days. You can upgrade your skills, look after your core stats, and the outcome is based entirely on how you spend your time. Almost like a true dating sim. This is Tokimeki Memorial but with more crime. And probably a lot less dating.
Regardless of its classification, Sergeant Squidley: Space Cop is aiming to be an open-ended experience. Through your choices, Mr. Squidley might reconnect with his estranged son, follow his sax dreams, or maybe become a super-cop of some sort. What’s important here? Sax dreams or catching a murderer. I think the choice is obvious.
Sergeant Squidley: Space Cop is now available for PC via Steam.
