What is Sleeping Dogs?

Sleeping Dogs is an immersive open-world action-adventure game that immerses players in the gritty underworld of Hong Kong's criminal organizations. As the protagonist Wei Shen, a Chinese-American police officer working undercover, players navigate a complex narrative as they infiltrate the notorious Sun On Yee Triad group. The gameplay offers a diverse range of activities, from high-stakes combat and vehicle pursuits to more casual diversions like karaoke and cockfighting. Players can freely explore the vibrant city, taking on storyline missions at their own pace while also engaging in a variety of side quests and activities that expand Wei's capabilities and reputation. The game's combat system emphasizes fluid hand-to-hand fighting, complemented by a cover-based shooting mechanic that allows for targeted attacks on specific body parts. Progression is tied to three distinct experience systems - Triad XP, Face XP, and Police XP - that shape Wei's alignment and interactions with the world. Customization options for clothing, accessories, and vehicles further influence the narrative and gameplay, fostering a deep sense of immersion in the game's richly detailed setting
