    The game is a film noir adventure which isn't a total disaster but it has some serious flaws:
    1. The story is extremely linear and the gameplay not challenging to the point of being almost like a novel with minor exceptions
    2. The choices that score the interrogations are poorly designed and half of the time they are unintentionally misleading 3. Several characters and dialogues are

    2. The choices that score the interrogations are poorly designed and half of the time they are unintentionally misleading
    3. Several characters and dialogues are completely redundant or out place making the game half of the time just boring
    At the end of the day if you're extremely into film noir adventuring you might like it but it's generally a flawed game.

    Creía que sería divertido y gracioso pero desde el primer momento solo hay dialogos y dialogos y se me hace aburrido eso, además que las conversaciones no se te hacen ligeras. Lo empecé a jugar porque me gustaba el estilo de juego pero se me ha hecho pesado.

    Not a "game" to be honest. Very little you can do except of clicking on the next dialog. Anyway, this is great story, music and graphic design. Partially interactive decent detective noir story.

    I completed the game.

    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.
