    Basically an extremely linear visual novel with a detective story that didn't even have an "AH HA" moment. The game just feeds everything to you. Animal heads on human bodies are all there is to drive the game. Pros are the artwork and voice-over work, but that's just a shell that needs to be on a good story for it to amount to anything worth playing.

    This game was a big disappointment. The art style is great and the theme was interesting as well. But I don't think the story is well paced, smart, insightful or even that funny. Take the character mentioning Filmar Low right off the bat, I thought that was pretty funny and setting up the tone nicely. Then he shows up as a character and is mentioned a lot in random conversations until theThis game was a big disappointment. The art style is great and the theme was interesting as well.

    Everything Blacksad: Under the Skin did ineptly, Chicken Police does perfectly. This Hungarian visual novel offers much more than I expected: a feast for eyes, a great duo of detectives, polished and varied supporting characters, and a story that treats social issues (e.g. systemic racism) seriously.

    In my tiny pantheon of visual novel/adventure games, Chicken Police - Paint it RED! has a spot.

    A classic point and click adventure with an original and iconic art style, as well as presenting a plot that will hook you until it is completely resolved.
