Police Quest 3: The Kindred Overview
Police Quest 3: The Kindred is the third entry in its series, continuing the story from the previous installment. The narrative follows Sergeant Sonny Bonds, whose expectation of a tranquil life with his wife Marie is shattered when a cult called The Kindred commits brutal murders across the city. After Marie is attacked and left comatose, Bonds pursues the cult on a personal mission for justice.
Gameplay incorporates investigative police work as a central component, with tasks like operating facial composite software and analyzing murder patterns on a map. It also revisits mechanics from the first game, including driving sequences and routine police procedures that exist alongside the main plot. The interface uses an icon-based system for environmental interaction, consistent with other Sierra adventure titles of its period.
