The Getaway: Black Monday immerses gamers in the harsh urban landscape of London, introducing them to a trio of interesting characters: a seasoned police officer, a tenacious boxer and a teenage street thief. In this narrative game, each character's unique storylines and skills converge in the shadowy depths of the city's underworld. Taking inspiration from iconic British gangster films such as Get Carter, The Long Good Friday and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, the game is a cinematic journey through the rough streets of the metropolis. Markedly different from traditional gaming interfaces, The Getaway: Black Monday takes a deeper approach by ditching the visual display and health bars, allowing users to become fully immersed in the unfolding drama.

With over 130 licensed vehicles on display, from sleek sports cars to bulky buses, users can navigate city streets in style. The title offers a varied arsenal of weapons, including pistols and gas grenades, creating an environment where strategic choices are critical. The combat goes beyond traditional shooting: gamers can engage in brutal combat without weapons or with melee weapons, and for more intense passions, use dual-wield weapons. The three main characters' narratives intertwine in unexpected and intricate ways, reflecting the unpredictability of the criminal setting in which they live.
