| DESCRIPTION |
| A wild tale of love, death, chickens, and redemption! Chicken Police is a buddy-cop noir adventure, with a carefully crafted world, a gritty story, and lots of absurd humor. The game mixes elements of classic adventure games with visual novel-style storytelling |
| EXPERIENCE |
| What happens when Frank Miller’s Sin City walks into a Buddy Cop movie about a couple of anthropomorphic Chickens in a town full of animals, murder, class warfare and racism? Well you get this clucking thing. Heading on down to Clawville! Mesmerizing. Bwock bwock |
| Art: Clucking cool style that takes a minute to get used to. Noir live action anamorphic characters in a steamy city. Animal heads on human bodies. This game gets my costuming award for indie games of 2020 |
| Animation: Pose to Pose pivot point movement that works in the context of this game. |
| Music/Effects: The music pulls (mostly jazz noir) really pulls you into the moment. |
| V/O: Very competent voice over. I would listen to this as an audiobook anyday. |
| World Building: Built on a lot of tropes but in a good way. A variation on theme that allows exploration into some serious topics like race relations, social classes and relevant issues of today and yesterday. |
| Currency: Good Will |
| Gameplay/Loop: Explore, Investigate, Question and some simple puzzle solving. |
| AI/NPCs: The NPCs are on rails. We are revealing a story and have a small amount of control over relationships. |
| Controls: Mouse clicks. Clicky Clicky. |
| Interface: Minimal. Very polished and appropriate to the style and theme of the game. |
| Replay/Endgame: Some replay value inline. No manual save system so you go from start to finish and then you would have to start all over again. Probably a one time play through and then wait a while and forget everything. I didn’t reach the endgame. But I think I know where it is going. |
| Score: 9 Dames out of 10 Walking in and out of my Clucking life |
