When Chicken Police: Paint it RED! launched in 2020, the narrative noir adventure was lauded by the press and received many awards with its complex interrogation system, mystery-solving detective gameplay, and visual style consisting of artistic photo manipulation and lifelike 3D backgrounds. It became one of Metacritic’s best 100 PC Games that year, and IGN Japan dubbed it “Game Animal Of The Year” (GAOTY). In 2021, it won the awards for Best Adventure Game at the Chainsaw Game & Music Festival and Excellence in Audio at the Spring 2021 edition of DevGamm!
Now, together with Joystick Ventures, The Wild Gentlemen is working around the cluck to dive deeper into the city of Clawville with Chicken Police: Into the HIVE! As society slowly begins to collapse, Sonny and Marty embark to crack the biggest case of their lives — one that will take them into the insect underworld and force them to face the darkest reaches of their past. Experience more of the series’s grim story, gritty atmosphere and absurd humor, wrapped up in a mystery-solving investigation inspired by point-and-click adventures and visual novels.
In this character-driven film noir detective adventure, you must gather clues, interrogate suspects, and use your creativity to solve problems in a variety of ways to uncover a world-shattering conspiracy. While freely exploring Clawville and its 35+ locations, you will meet more than 30 fully dubbed characters, each with their own role to play in this dramatic tale of murder, betrayal and love. Besides the main story, there will be a myriad of side quests, pathways and opportunities to explore in Chicken Police: Into the HIVE!
Will the legendary cocks come up with a plan as they step into the secrets of the shrouded insect underworld, or will they have to wing it once more?
The game is expected to launch on PC in 2024, and the Steam Store page is now live:
