Ultimate Games S.A. has just announced a city surveillance simulator game called City Eye, where you take the role of a CCTV operator and ensure the safety of your citizens. While the game is still being developed, a free prologue is available on Steam right now.
City Eye is planned for a release sometime in the second half of this year. When it does release, it will also launch on consoles as well. There is no confirmation what consoles will be getting the game, however, more details are expected to come soon.
The city surveillance simulator will have you step in the shoes of a CCTV operator, tasked with controlling and combating crime, as well as other threats in the city. The gameplay is focused on searching for potential threats, tracking criminals, monitoring their activities and calling the appropriate services. The player’s success will depend on accurate observation and effective recognition of real threats. The catalog of the events will be broad and will include, for example, property devastation, fires, car theft, and terrorism.
Mateusz Zawadzki, CEO at Ultimate Games S.A. had this to say,
City Eye is a game inspired by reality and total surveillance systems, which are based on extensive monitoring networks. Many people are not aware of the widespread use of such control systems. This, of course, applies not only to authoritarian countries, but also to those considered democratic. Our game will allow you to experience this somewhat Orwellian world and see what it’s like to have great control over the life of the city.
On the matter of the free prologue, Zawadski added,
The prologue takes place in a single district. The full version will offer a total of 16 districts, and the monitoring system will cover a total of several hundred cameras. The final game will include many more features. We are preparing, among others, an active camera management system and a system controlling the residents’ reactions to events. New types of events will be added as well, including street thefts, accidents, traffic crimes and murders.
City Eye – main features:
- urban surveillance simulator;
- 16 districts, hundreds of cameras;
- city-wide closed-circuit television system;
- various types of threats;
- random events;
- control the life of the city;
- fight for law and order.
City Eye will release for PC via Steam in the second half of 2020. The game is going to hit consoles on a later date. Post your comments below.
