Police Quest III: The Kindred is an adventure game produced by Jim Walls for Sierra On-Line, and released in 1991. It is the second sequel to Police Quest I: In Pursuit of the Death Angel and is part of the Police Quest series.

Gameplay

Sierra's standard point and click interface is used in Police Quest III.

Plot

Sonny and Marie got married following Bains' death. Promoted once more, Sonny now has to deal with rampant crime as a drug cartel begins operating in Lytton and evidence of a satanic cult starts to appear. When Marie is stabbed in a mall parking lot, Sonny's police work becomes personal.

Sonny must deal with Pat Morales, his new partner who displays some questionable ethics and may be hiding something. He must also find patterns in a growing series of crimes to find his next lead. The Bains family also plays a role in this game.

Development

Released in 1991 for SCI version 1, PQ3 is completely mouse-driven. It was only released for the IBM PC and the Amiga. After this game, Jim Walls left Sierra for reasons that have still not been publicly explained, and SWAT founder Daryl F. Gates was named to take over of the Police Quest series.
