About this game
YOU ARE THE LAW IN THESE STREETS
In Nerd City, where crime, lies, and chaos reign, your checkpoint is the last line of defense. But this isn't just about traffic duty. Your family has been kidnapped by a ruthless Cartel. Saving them depends on your sharp eyes, your ability to detect lies, and the difficult choices you make.
🔍 DETAILED INSPECTION AND INTERROGATION
Classic document verification and discrepancy detection mechanics meet an atmospheric 3D world. Every vehicle approaching your checkpoint is a puzzle waiting to be solved.
Document Control: Cross-check driver's licenses, vehicle registration, insurance, and license plates. An expired date, a typo in a name, or mismatched data could be the sign of a major crime.
Suspicion & Search: Is the driver nervous? Is their story inconsistent? Interrogate them, order them out, and search the trunk to uncover illegal goods (weapons, drugs, contraband).
⚖️ THE VERDICT: FINE, CUFFS, OR FREEDOM?
Once the inspection is over, you are the judge. How will you use the authority given to you by the law?
📝 Issue Fine: Missing documents? Broken taillight? Write the ticket and earn revenue for the department.
👮 Arrest: Found a wanted criminal or a fake ID? Slap on the handcuffs and bring them to justice.
👋 Release: Is everything in order? Raise the barrier and let them proceed.
🚫 Impound: Is the vehicle unsafe? Call the tow truck and send it straight to the impound lot.
WHAT IS THE PRICE OF YOUR CONSCIENCE?
When Cartel members pass through your checkpoint, the game shifts from a logic puzzle to a battle for survival. You will face bribes, threats, and moral dilemmas.
Dirty Deals: Accept the bribe to gather ransom money quickly. However, your honor will be stained, and your reputation will crumble.
Integrity & Price: Reject the bribe to gain fame and promotion. But remember, the Cartel never forgets.
KEY FEATURES
Full Authority: Stop, Search, Fine, Arrest, Tow, or Release.
Detective Work: Gameplay based on attention to detail, logic, and observation.
Noir Atmosphere: Gritty underworld with a dynamic day cycle and rainy city vibes.
Rich Story & Multiple Endings: Every choice shapes the narrative and the finale.
Family & Economy: Manage finances to pay the ransom or upgrade equipment.
The scales of justice are in your hands. How much are you willing to tip them to save your family?

🛠️ Not ACAB Devlog: Major Overhaul & New Storyline!
Greetings, team! We’ve been working quietly but intensely on Not ACAB for a while now. Based on your feedback, we have completely transformed the game’s face and added a deep narrative layer. Here are the highlights of this massive update 📖 New Story: Between Conscience and Duty!You are no longer just a traffic cop; you are a father whose family has been taken hostage by the cartel. The only way to save them is to grant "special privileges" to cartel vehicles passing through your checkpoint. But be careful:Family Status: You can track the safety of your kidnapped family via a dedicated panel on your screen. The more you satisfy the cartel, the safer your family remains.Voice Messages: Incoming voice messages from your family will make you feel the weight of your decisions at every moment.The Critical Balance: sen You must walk the fine line between the cartel's trust and your professional loyalty.⚖️ Loyalty and Bribery MechanicsWe’ve introduced a new Balance System. Your decisions directly impact two visual bars:Trust vs. Reputation: Help the cartel too much, and you might be fired or even arrested. Perform your duties too strictly, and the cartel may harm your family.Bribery Offers: When you press cartel members, they may offer you a bribe. Will you take the money and risk your career, or remain an honest officer? Remember, taking too many bribes can land you behind bars! 🔍 Vehicle Search and InspectionWe have completely removed the racing mechanics to focus entirely on the checkpoint experience:Detailed Search: You can now stop vehicles and search them thoroughly.Illegal Items: Confiscate weapons, narcotics, and contraband to issue heavy fines. Of course, you must consider how this will affect your relationship with the cartel! 🎨 Visual and Technical EnhancementsNew Models: We have rebuilt all in-game models from scratch, including a brand-new model for our main protagonist.User-Friendly UI: Menus and in-game indicators have been fully modernized for a smoother an...Read full article on Community Announcements (accounts)
