Responding

Responding is an open-world emergency services simulator sandbox set in a fictional version of New York State. You can play as police, fire or EMS, responding to incidents across the city and upstate suburbs. Work with friends or AI to keep the area safe, with the freedom to take part in pursuits, traffic stops, shootouts and 4th alarm box fires.

Manage incidents

Scene management is central to responding to incidents. AI can take on roles to resolve situations, keep scenes safe, collect evidence and take witness statements. Alongside larger incidents, you can conduct traffic stops and wellness checks.

Police work

You can pull over any vehicle you see breaking the law, or stop one even when no offence has occurred. Question the driver and decide whether to give a ticket, a warning or let them go. The driver or vehicle may attempt to evade you.

Tactical action

The game includes tactical-shooter mechanics such as tactical reloads, holding your breath and ammo management.

Customize your equipment

You can customize vehicles, including the equipment stored in their trunks and the placement of antennas on their roofs. The emergency lighting system lets you set the on and off timing for each lighting module to create patterns, make three presets for switching between in real time, and choose text to display on the message board.
