Early Access Release Date, New Demo and Video

In Hollywood Animal, you'll take the lead of your own film studio, and carve out a place for yourself under the bright Californian sun. But it won't be enough to just place buildings, and hire people, and come up with stories to make into films. After all, you're not the only dreamer in this town. And this time, your competitors aren't the background abstractions you might be expecting in this genre. No, these rivals are cunning, insidious, and willing to cross any line. You'll find out about all it and much more in the new gameplay video. [previewyoutube=oDFPTtGHyno;full][/previewyoutube] Put your skills to the test on January 16, 2025, when Hollywood Animal goes live on Steam Early Access.

HOLLYWOOD ANIMAL "How To Make a Quick Buck With a Shameless Sequel"

[previewyoutube=30MlnFsFLyM;full][/previewyoutube] Your film unexpectedly became the highest-grossing picture of 1959. Where do you go from here? Of course, you capitalize on your success by cutting all possible corners and making an epically monstrous sequel! After all, that's exactly what our latest video is all about. In Hollywood Animal, you run a movie studio over the course of decades, and you're free to grow it however you please even if it means turning it into a soulless corporate juggernaut. There's something strangely satisfying about doing things in games that you hate seeing done in real life," say the developers from Weappy. "You might not find a single cinephile who rejoices in assembly-line filmmaking. But when you find yourself in the managers chair, responsible for the survival of a business, like you do in our game, all those time-tested tropes and outrageous cliches suddenly gain a new appeal." Hollywood Animal is coming to PC later this year. Don't forget to wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2680550/Hollywood_Animal/

HOLLYWOOD ANIMAL announced plus new investigations for This Is the Police 1&2

We're back! Hollywood Animal is coming to PC in 2024! In a new strategy game from the creators of This Is the Police, you'll take the helm of a film studio in the late 1920s, and guide it through decades of tough choices. If you liked the gritty style of our previous games, please come give Hollywood Animal a look and add it to your wishlist. To celebrate the announcement, we created a gift for fans of This Is the Police: two new investigations. The first sets up the story in This Is the Police 1, and the other continues it in This Is the Police 2. (And yes, it involves the venerated Bloody Shirt film franchise). If you're reading this, the investigations have already been added to your games! Enjoy! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2680550/Hollywood_Animal/

Bloody Shirt

If you've played This Is the Police, you may remember the Bloody Shirt action films the characters often rhapsodize about. It's finally time to reveal the story of the first, and by most accounts, the best film of the series. Johnny Mastroianni has a good life. He works as a corporate lawyer. His family adores him. And he even has the time to pursue his favorite hobby: Johnny designs men's suits in his basement workshop. He has a special talent for silk shirts. But for Johnny this isn't just a hobby it's also a chance for him to get closer to his roots. His grandfather and father were tailors as well, and indeed Johnny dreams of reviving the family business. One day he shares this dream in confession with Pastor Belardo and he receives the priest's blessing. Johnny turns to his senior colleagues, Carl Prickton and Edward Nord, for an investment. With their money, he launches production and in two years he turns Mastroianni into a leader in the premium men's clothing industry, rivaling Gucci and Versace. Coveting Mastroianni's success, the partners decide to take the company away from Johnny. Prikton and Nord learn that Johnny confesses to Pastor Belardo, and they offer the priest a fortune in exchange for information. The pastor agrees and reveals to the villains that Johnny suffers from mental problems, and is subject to uncontrollable outbursts of rage. Further, he's terrified that his wife, children or colleagues might fall victim. Seizing upon this, Prikton and Nord launch a whole campaign against Johnny. They bribe a doctor to conclude that Johnny is unfit to perform his duties, and bribe Mastroianni employees to complain of Johnny's inappropriate behavior. The board of directors removes Johnny, and even the courts side with the conspirators. Johnny's life is in ruins. Deceived and forsaken, and mentally unstable, he awakens the monster within him and sets out to take his revenge. First he hunts down Linda Schiller, his former right hand in the company. She publicly aired the lie that Johnny attempted to rape her. He stuffs her in the Mastroianni ironing press, and keeps her there until Linda's screams are lost in the smell of her steaming flesh. Johnny then goes after Antoine Fourier, the intern who lied that Johnny threw sewing supplies at him in anger. Johnny pushes Antoine into a trunk, takes him to his basement workshop, and embroiders his skin with silk threads. Antoine dies of shock from the pain. Next, Johnny breaks into Edward Nord's home, drags him into the dressing room and strangles him with a Mastroianni shirt until Nord's eyes pop out of his head. After that, Johnny tracks down Carl Prickton at a strip club. He shoots Prikton in the groin with a shotgun, then finishes him off with a shot to the head. Of those who betrayed him, only Pastor Belardo remains. Johnny plants a bomb under the church altar, and then attends Sunday service. As the pastor begins his sermon, Johnny presses the button on the detonator. The explosion blows Pastor Belardo's body into bloody pieces. The church evacuates in stampede, and only Johnny remains on the bench, watching, smiling, as Pastor Belardo's blood drips from the church crucifix.

Be the first to find out the purpose of the machine of the gods and save the Halloween! But we have more! This Is the Police participates in Steam's Halloween Sale, which means discounts for everyone! If all these months you have been hesitating to press "Buy", waiting for some sign, then the right time has come!

Portuguese-Brazil and French + new exclusive content, and much more to come!


Obviously a lot of people prefer to play games in their native language, and we know that This Is the Police has a lot of fans (or wannabe-fans!) far beyond English-speaking, German-speaking and Russian-speaking countries. So we’re working on more languages, and today we’re happy to release Portuguese-Brazil and French versions! Chinese and Spanish are coming next, so stay tuned for more news! But wait, there is more. Since the game was released in August, and only now, in October, we’re starting to add more languages (shame on us), we want to give you guys something special. So as a thank you for your incredible patience and amazing support we’ve prepared an exclusive criminal gang (which means +3 investigations) for each additional language. People playing Portuguese-Brazil version will be able to catch a gang named ‘Circo Mambembe’, and for our French-speaking players there is ’Uterus Magna’ gang (no, really, that’s how they call themselves, there is nothing we can do about it). But if you’re playing TITP in English, German or Russian, it doesn’t mean that you aren’t getting your own sweet piece of free new content: ‘Wheels of Empire’ gang is waiting for you! Oh, and no, we didn’t forget about the sandbox mode: it’s coming very soon and, of course, going to be a free update for everyone. Thanks again, have a nice play!

Development Roadmap

Hello! Weappy is working hard on improving the game, every day we push an update with some hot fixes, and we are fully committed to continue to do so until the game is perfectly polished. Meanwhile we’re working on some new content (of course, it’s going to be absolutely free) and we want to give you an idea of our nearest plans: August 16: Two new investigations. August 23: Consulting detective: A retired investigator who can help you. Not for free, of course September 13: “Jackass”: An unlockable comic strip about the life of Jack Boyd before This Is the Police. End of September: A new game mode. We will announce details soon. Thank you for all the great feedback and we hope you enjoy playing “This is the Police”!

Dive into a deep story of corruption, crime and intrigue. Take the role of gritty Police Chief Jack Boyd, and come face to face with the ugly underbelly of Freeburg, a city spiraling the drain. Will Jack reach his retirement with a nice stack of bills, or will he end up broken ... or worse?


Manage your staff, respond to emergencies, and investigate crimes in a city on the brink of chaos. The mafia underworld maneuvers behind the scenes, sinking their claws ever deeper into the city, even as the mayor is ready to exploit every situation to his political advantage.

Choose your approach to each situation as it unfolds. Sometimes you’ll be responding to a developing crisis at a crime scene, or negotiating with Freeburg’s crime bosses. Sometimes you’ll find yourself dodging questions in the press room, or even the occasional cross-examination in the witness box. Can you keep this pressure cooker from exploding, at least for long enough to stash away a nice retirement nest egg?


  • Your mission is clear: make $500,000 in 180 days, before Jack Boyd reaches retirement. How? That’s up to you!

  • Decisions, decisions! This Is the Police is all about a dark story and how you react to it. Whatever you decide, your choices will influence the game – and the fate of Jack Boyd.

  • The Good, the Bad, and... the Ugly? The Chief of Freeburg's Police Department deals with all kind of people. It is up to you to find the bad guys, and decide how to deal with them.

  • Carry out your duties. As head of Freeburg PD, Jack deals with all sorts of challenges every day: responding to emergencies, managing his officers, defending the department against City Hall and a corrupt mayor, and much more.

  • Solve Investigations and gather evidence against the criminal gangs of Freeburg.

  • Deal with the competing powers of the city. Everyone offers you favors, and each one comes at a price.

  • Rich and fully voiced story: Jack Boyd is portrayed by Jon St. John, the voice of Duke Nukem.
