News: You are a detective that needs to clear your name after being accused of a crime you didn’t commit.

Beat Cop from 11 Bit Studios is now available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. Beat Cop is described as an “80s cop show inspired indie hit” and you will play the role of disgraced detective Jack Kelly on his road to redemption after he was framed for a murder he didn’t commit.

Patrolling the gritty streets of 1980's Brooklyn is no cake walk, and when you're a police officer who has been implicated for a murder you didn't commit, it's even harder. Jack Kelly's on a mission to clear his name in this pixel perfect homage to the cop shows of days gone by, and he can't do it without your help.

You will have to solve problems on the roughest of streets, help the local community, deal with dangerous mobsters and gangsters, be the good cop or take the odd bribe on the side, and finally, solve the mystery of a crime that you are accused of but didn’t commit. Some of the game’s features include the following:

Retro pixel art experience with a non-linear story and multiple endings

The pure essence of ‘80s cop shows

Mature humor

Laying down the law, one ticket at a time
