Maybe that's why it is so cranky all the time."
The city of Clawville was built as an Edenic place, where predators and prey can live in peace. But the dream remained just a dream while Clawville slowly became the darkest corner of all the Wilderness.
Chicken Police is a satire, which recalls the mood and atmosphere of the 40's film-noir classics, 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...
FORBES: "It's also clear from the trailer that its dark story will be pretty funny, with plenty of scope to establish it as one of the more unique releases in its genre. Needless to say, there'll be absolutely nothing like it released during 2020, and hopefully, it'll be as brilliant as it is different."
DESCTRUCTOID: "I know I mostly cover animal-based games, but few have ever stopped me dead in my tracks like this one. I mean, did you hear that song in the trailer? That's original music, baby! I'm a sucker for games with quirky themes and original music, so of course, I took notice to this one straight away. Mix that with the animals-as-people motif and spot-on detective visuals, and yeah I didn't really stand a chance."
ROCK PAPER SHOTGUN: "Fortunately I’m batting my jet-lagged eyes at Chicken Police, an upcoming noir detective adventure with grizzled chickens and a very good raccoon. It’s a point and clicker, which means I’ll almost certainly never play it. But I’d still like you to revel in this trailer with me. It’s a cinematographic masterpiece."
ALPHA BETA GAMER: "It really nails the film noir vibe it’s going for. Meanwhile, the voice acting is excellent throughout, the story is interesting and the writing is very witty, packed full of cynical humor and animal-based puns. A ridiculous and riveting hardboiled detective adventure that will give you a clucking good time."

[h1][b]Chicken Police[/b][/h1] [i]Important premise: the following review is based on my personal experience. Everytime I write a review, I try to be as objective as possible, in order to not let my personal tastes taint the objective quality of the product.[/i] [h1]Graphics[/h1] Good quality, in line with the genre. [b]Score: 7 / 10[/b] [h1]Narrative[/h1] Well written dialogues and characters on the overall. Good narrative rhythm. Good writing of both the story and the narrative universe where it is set. [b]Score: 7.1 / 10[/b] [h1]Gameplay[/h1] Some dialogues are longer than others and automatically scroll across the bottom; unfortunately it is not possible to scroll up to read them again. There's a button that allows the player to listen to the conversation again, but it is not always usable (sometimes it is greyed out). There is only an automatic save system. It appears to not save after every conversation ends, so the player may need to replay some dialogues when he launches the game after quitting it at any point. There are a few, rather simple minigames. Some of them include meaningful hints and no penalties in case the player makes a mistake. [b]Score: 6.8 / 10[…
Immaculate vibes and doesn't outstay its welcome. Definitely get it if its on sale.
Got stuck in the hotel in chapter 3 where I was supposed to go to the asylum after I called their telephone number, and there's no guide for that lol I can't even tell if that's a bug or intentional. This game is alright but it's so confusing to play with. Not my cup of tea.
It has a delightful noir-style story that keeps you interested until the end. The main rooster characters are funny and typical guys with twisted senses of humor.
Really liked it! Story was good (Be willing to listen to a lot of dialog for the best experience.). I did almost everything in the game... Although I did watch one mini cutscene I missed, online. I also missed a few acheivements and collectibles, but that doesn't affect anything that much. Game is old enough to go on big sales too. I decided to get the soundtrack as well, and I quite like it both in-game, and in Steam soundtrack form. I initially decided to get it purely because it was barely even a higher price, and easy access, since I correctly predicted it was going to be pretty good. In conclusion... Game gud. I recommend. I will probably also eventually try some of the other games in the same universe, including the direct sequel. :) PS: Also had some nice mini-games.
