Inspiration

Street Wolves: Zero Hour is mostly heavily inspired by Miami Vice, Burn Notice, synthwave art and music. There's a bit of retrofuturism and a dash of GTA thrown in.

Lightweight, Fun, and Intense

Street Wolves: Zero Hour is a lightweight tabletop roleplaying game powered by the Year Zero Engine, which is used by Free League in games like Alien RPG and Vaesen. 

It uses a d6 dice pool system to quickly move through pulse pounding action and combat while at the same time having enough weight to make dice rolling be intense and to matter.

Street Wolves: Zero Hour uses the stress system of YZE engine for loads of tension, along with a system called "Drive." Drive measures how close a player character is to falling off the edge and becoming burned out, corrupt, or hopelessly addicted to a vice. Try to keep it together by going to therapy or hitting rehab, but once you've hit rock bottom, time is up for your Street Wolf... if you live that long.
