Our take on Polda 3
Instead of keeping its detective in a police role, the game makes Pankrác a private investigator after his dismissal. The adventure also breaks up its investigation with several minigames, including submarine combat, shooting practice, and a card game.
What is Polda 3?
Pankrác returns as a private detective after losing his police job.
His first case concerns a missing chef, but the investigation expands when the chef's connection to a famous hockey star emerges and both disappear. The adventure visits more than 60 locations in different countries and includes over 70 interactive characters, extensive dialogue, logical puzzles, and a story set across multiple parts of the world. It also contains several minigames: a card game called strip prší, a naval submarine battle, a variation on the classic line-drawing game, and shooting practice.
This version adds optional displays for hints, active areas in locations, and active items in the inventory. The Czech voice cast includes Luděk Sobota, Petr Nárožný, Jiří Lábus, Oldřich Kaiser, and others.
