I thought this was awesome, really clever and I could really see this becoming something cool in the Disco Elysium kind of genre, with some fleshed out characters and also some real potential for character development with the cops relationship with each other, as well as the way the relationship obviously is very dynamic with the suspects, you could pull a more slow and subtle string to make the cops have a dynamic relationship that is directly effected by the way they approach the job. This actually gave me proper This Is The Police vibes as well, and I think you could turn this whole mechanic into something incredibly cool. You definitely should pursue this more.
Brilliant work in such a short time as well 😁🙌
