Siren City

Siren City is a free open-city game you play in your browser as your own platform avatar. Choose who you are today: a cop on patrol, a robber with an eye on the bank, or a civilian living a good life by the sea. Up to twelve people share one city online, and bots keep both sides of the law busy whenever the streets are quiet.

As a cop you drive a patrol car with a radar that reads the speed of the car ahead. Switch the siren on to pull a speeder over, walk to the driver's window and check the licence, the registration and the insurance against the police database — then let them go, write a fine or make an arrest. The dispatcher calls out robberies and runners, the GPS leads the way, backup comes when you call it, and cones, barriers, spike strips and a taser help you end a chase.

As a robber you pick a till — a shop, the petrol station, the jeweller's or the bank — hold it up and run. Every robbery raises your wanted stars: lose the police, take the loot to a hideout and it is yours. Take any car you like, but a police PIT can spin you round.

As a civilian you earn with a taxi and pizza deliveries, spend at the boutique, the car showroom and the sports shop, sunbathe, swim and dance at the beach bar, and walk out through the north gate to a country park with a lake, a windmill and a stadium. Your money, ranks and everything you buy are kept. On PC, phone and tablet, with a keyboard, a gamepad or your phone as the controller.
