92/100

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.

Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. I’ll admit, the character designs initially put me off—half-man, half-chicken detectives usually signal a 'joke' game. But beneath the feathers is a legitimately well-written hardboiled detective story. The dialogue is snappy, the voice acting is top-tier for this genre, and the world-building is surprisingly thorough. It captures that cynical, rain-soaked noir vibe better than many 'serious' games I’ve played in recent years.

The gameplay is standard point-and-click adventure fare. The interrogation mechanics are decent, requiring you to actually pay attention to character traits, though it’s still somewhat linear. My main gripe is that it relies heavily on the 'oddness' of the animal heads to do the heavy lifting for the visuals. Once the novelty wears off, you're looking at fairly static environments. Still, for a conservative gamer like me who values a solid story and professional presentation, this is one of the better adventure games on the platform. It's not reinventing the wheel, but it polishes it well.

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.

KEY FEATURES

· A thrilling, rich storyline with a classic film·noir twist

· Professional voiceover with more than 8 hours of spoken dialogue!

· A carefully crafted, ""colorful"" world

· A complex interrogation system

· More than 30 unique, fully voiced characters
