  Chicken Police - Paint It Red is a homage to 1940s detective movies where we follow Sonny, a suspended cop wasting his last 120 days till retirement by drinking heavily in his room. That is, until a surprise visit brings him back together with his ex-partner Marty for one last case.

  Despite a few quibbles and an endgame that doesn’t hit quite as hard as I hoped, I enjoyed Chicken Police – Paint it RED! The characters are kind of the star of the show, and the fantastic writing and voice acting compliment the noir-style visuals. If you’re looking for a classic detective story with a unique twist, then you might be interested in the adventures of the legendary Chicken Police. Overall, it’s a clucking good time!

  Although it suffers a bit from classic adventure game problems, Chicken Police is otherwise an immensely enjoyable piece of interactive crime fiction. If you can fight through a little obtuse puzzle-solving (or keep a FAQ handy), Chicken Police otherwise is a fun romp with excellent production values.

  If you’re also a fellow lover of detective noir and visual novels, you can find Chicken Police on a variety of platforms now, but especially on the Nintendo Switch for $19.99. If you check it out now, you can even get it for a discount of $13.49-an an absolute steal for hours of well-written dark humor and incredible voice acting.

  8.5

  Chicken Police: Paint It Red is a thoroughly engaging detective romp. The investigation elements, like the interrogations and clue linking, are fun in their own right, but the rest of the package proves to be quite enticing. From the story and atmosphere to the characters and dialogue, this is a strong adventure title with a compelling film noir style. For adventure game fans, Chicken Police is a must-have.

  Despite the love and humor that went into it, the annoying dialogue mechanics make the repetition inherent to the genre stand out. Still, I want to see more of Clawville: there’s still time for this dirty city to turn over a new leaf. Oh, just one more thing: if any of the developers ever read this review, I saw those Cowboy Bebop references and I loved them.
