Chicken Police: Paint it RED! is one of the most stylish adventure games I’ve ever played. It takes the hardboiled Noir aesthetic and applies it to a world of anthropomorphic animals with such commitment that it works brilliantly. The 'photorealistic' animal heads on human bodies create an eerie yet fascinating visual style that perfectly suits the dark, cynical tone of the narrative.
The writing is sharp, cynical, and filled with classic detective tropes that feel fresh in this bizarre setting. The 'interrogation' mechanic is a standout, requiring you to read characters and choose the right line of questioning to crack the case. It’s a high-quality point-and-click thriller that fans of film noir and complex mysteries will absolutely adore. It’s gritty, funny, and deeply engaging.

MEET THE CHICKEN POLICE
Sonny Featherland and Marty MacChicken were once a legendary detective·duo, called the Chicken Police. But that was almost a decade ago, and time had ruthlessly passed them by. Now Sonny and Marty are forced to work together on a case that is weirder than anything they've ever encountered before!
NARRATIVE·DRIVEN, DETECTIVE GAMEPLAY
Chicken Police is a story·rich and dialogue·heavy game combining elements of the visual novels and classic adventure games. The game has more than 30 characters to talk to, with some having to be seriously interrogated. Collect tons of clues, evidence, and highly sensitive personal information from the shady characters of Clawville to use ruthlessly against them!
EXPLORE THE CITY OF CLAWVILLE (again, and again...)
There are more than 30 places to visit and some of them will change several times during the story. You can return to previous locations on several occasions, to find hidden secrets, meet new characters and gather information about the world and its inhabitants.
A CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE
Chicken Police has a weirdly stunning visual style made with the usage of real photos and photo·realistic 3D backgrounds, inspired by classic film·noir movies and influenced by animated features. Its noir mood is enhanced by an original music soundtrack, backed up by professional voice acting for all characters with more than 8 hours of spoken dialogue!
Chicken Police is a satire, which recalls the mood and atmosphere of the 40's film·noir movies, and as the best noirs and hardboiled detective stories, it's so gritty and hopeless, that it can only be served with a lot of cynical humor.

The interrogation meter tracks your progress. Asking the right questions increases your 'Detective Rank' for that scene, eventually leading to a full confession if you play your cards right.
No, Chicken Police features mature themes, strong language, and dark imagery consistent with the Noir genre.
