About the Game

STORY

Nut City Police Department is full of eccentric characters. Captain Fox, for example, is a venerated veteran police officer whose favourite day of the week is Monday. And the new intern, Detective Raccoon, is a young, dumb and hot-headed pizza lover who is always sniffing for ways to bend the rules.

The unlikely pair have to team up this summer to explore Nut City’s neon-washed streets, meet its strange citizens, and tackle bizarre cases. Danger looms around the corner, but love also blossoms.

Be careful of where to look and which path to choose, because all actions have consequences. Will Captain Fox and Detective Raccoon form a deeper bond, or part ways in bitterness?

The future is in your paws.
