If you're looking for something truly unique, you needn't look any further than Chicken Police.
From Hungarian developer The Wild Gentlemen and published by HandyGames, Chicken Police is a dialogue-heavy buddy-cop noir adventure. It all takes place within a "carefully crafted world," boasting a gritty story, and lots of bonkers humour.
Of course, the first thing you'll notice about it from the sweary trailer above is that the game's entire cast is made up of realistic animals – hearing those accents come out of chickens and cats is possibly one of the weirdest experiences we'll ever have on Switch. Still, it's good to see something a little different.
Key Features:
- A thrilling, rich storyline with a classic film-noir twist
- Professional voiceover with more than 8 hours of spoken dialogue!
- A carefully crafted, unique and "colorful" world
- A complex interrogation system
- 30 fully voiced characters
- A cinematic film-noir experience with more than 20 cutscenes!
-Lots of clues, information, and collectibles to find
- And a beautiful original soundtrack
The game's now received a confirmed release date of 5th November on other platforms, with Switch "coming later". Hopefully it won't be too long before we can check it out on Nintendo's machine.

Now, that's different. Why not. Let's see how it turns out.
This looks like the stuff of nightmares. Honestly. I would probably be unable to sleep if I played this!
Pluck the police!
@Fandabidozi OH MY this comment wins the internet today lol!
Not my sort of game, but the concept definitely got a good chuckle out of me.
Hahahahahaah
Chicken Police
Arrest this hen

Are making me feel ill
And she has
Pecked my cartridge
Well I am fond of chickens so.....yeah....
Anyone out there remember Fish Police, the comic?
After the technically ABYSMAL and downright UNPLAYABLE Blacksad game (which did so many things right in other ways, or at least not wrong, and I love the source material and the atmosphere), this has me interested. I must say I like the idea of a PI better than that of cops though. Much, MUCH better. But hey, at least they don't do a poor job of hiding their cockiness here.

@LaytonPuzzle27 why not? It’s a wordplay comment pertaining to game of chicken police.
all chickens are *****
Please ignore the troll, it's looking for the attention its parents never gave it
This is like that meme joke of -
Me: there’s no such thing as the perfect game
This article: (exists)
@PotatoTheG 1312 spray painted on my coop
@LaytonPuzzle27 Lighten up... makes life funner
That aside, this type of game has never been my cup of tea, but I love the concept, and the dialogue in the trailer got some chuckles out of me
it's still acab ! all chickens are - well you know the rest.
the killer cuccos are wielding guns run for your lives!
@KIRO I, too, thought of Fish Police when I saw the article, but I'll be real with you here, I was thinking if the short lived cartoon series. I didn't realize there was a comic. I will now depart onto a brief Wikipedia binge
@Desrever I didn’t know there was a cartoon! Who says you never learn anything on a gaming forum
@Fandabidozi Top drawer comment pal.
By saying these disgusting anti-police comments you didn't just pushed good police officers under the bus you pushed law-biding citizens like me under the bus! Also those faceless anti-police group are pro-communists.
@LaytonPuzzle27 lol I’m very pro police , calm down slow flake u will melt
@Buckyooliver It had to be a sarcastic joke. It didn't come off as funny so in this case it was kind of a up.
@LaytonPuzzle27
bro what... I really hope that's satire.
if not, have some cbd and play some video games, it'll help you relax
@LaytonPuzzle27 ACAB - all communists are basically-amazing-people-don’t-let-a-few-bad-apples-ruin-the-bunch
@LaytonPuzzle27 ....Wat. All Chicken Are Baked
This game could be neat, reminds me of Wolf Among Us and Grim Fandango.
Take me away, Nintendo Life mods... I'm a communist because I told @LaytonPuzzle27 to lighten up
Wow. The soundtrack, art style, and voicework has me intrigued. I really dig it. This looks a game tailored to someone like me.
@LaytonPuzzle27 1312 oh yes oh yes 1312 you know it's true
@OorWullie
I was due. 😊
@GannonBanned Don't make laugh. There is NO such thing good communist. Anyone who says that communism, socialism, liberalism is good is a traitor.
@LaytonPuzzle27 how so? Also, liberalism is not at all related to communism
@GannonBanned Liberalism is still bad. I know what Communism, socialism, and liberalism is. Governments run there derange ideology is never good never have never will. It's simply government having too much control over business and lives of people on what they can and cannot do. Take a look at happening to the countries like China, Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, Russia and etc. for example the people there are suffering under these faceless socialist tyrant leaderships.
@LaytonPuzzle27 China, DPRK, and Russia have nothing to do with the actual tenets of communism, Venezuela WAS a left leaning capitalist country (not communist), and Cuba actually has a lot of good parts.
As an American, it’s hard to say my people aren’t suffering as we’re #1 in pandemic deaths, our income inequality is massive, and there are more empty homes than there are homeless people yet we still have humans starving and freezing on the streets.
You need to do some research and stop repeating someone else’s propaganda/sales pitch. Good luck, with love
@PotatoTheG You are disgusting! You have no respect to law and order!
