The game is "packed with mystery and suspense", and is "aimed at adults, due to the graphic nature of the plot and occasional sexual references". It is "a bit like the “Choose Your Own Adventure” books, but on the iPhone". Episodic Content System What distinguished EA's visual novels (this and Surviving High School) from others is the fact that their games released new content periodically. There are 2 ways to do this; Now Airing and Episodes on Demand. Up until July 2011, episodes were released weekly on Friday; this became weekly on Mondays from then until September 2013; episodes began releasing bi-weekly (first on Mondays later on Wednesdays) from then on. When an episode was released on On Demand, the previous episode would become available on Now Airing for free (though only one Now Airing episode can be on an iDevice at once). So On Demand players would experience the story faster and could freely play their episodes at any time, but paid more. Now Airing players wouldn't pay at all, but they would experience their story much slower and only be able to play an episode a time.

In the earlier seasons (particularly the first), the game's storyline had a stronger focus on criminals and crimes rather than characters. However, as the game progressed, the SFPD members and their character development have become a much more prominent focus. Volumes Volume 1 was available for free in the
