Sleeping Dogs is an open-world action game set in the crime world of Hong Kong's Triads. The player controls Wei Shen, a Chinese-American police officer who returns to his old neighbourhood to infiltrate the Sun On Yee Triad organization. The game offers a variety of missions and activities, including melee combat, car chases, gunfights, hacking, and more. The game also features a role-playing element that allows players to choose their own path and level up through a skill tree system. The city is full of people with their own routines, and players are free to intervene in the environment. Additionally, Shen can get a girlfriend, shop for new clothing, and get his own apartment. The game borrows many elements from the Grand Theft Auto series, but with a Hong Kong twist.
