Instead, you’ll get some hints about a character they might be secretive or protective, perhaps they are easily flattered and therefore a bit easier to manipulate into giving you the answers you are looking for. Questioning has a hint of LA Noire about it, but without the reliance on facial animations, nor the wild behavioural swings of Cole Phelps to contend with. Some characters inevitably become suspects, and at this point you get the opportunity to question them in a more formal sense. You’ll get the opportunity to click around spaces looking for leads, solve some light puzzles and talk to the various characters you meet. You’ll move around various locations of Clawville looking for clues as to why Natasha is being targeted. Not all animals are created equally in this world, and there’s some abject cruelty at work, particularly for some species, and you’ll crawl through most of it on your quest to solve the mystery. You’ll read about predation, the meat wars, and the social structure that makes up the world. Clawville is a dark place with some dark politics at play. There’s also quite a bit of world-building available through the various codex entries within your notebook. You can keep track of the characters you meet within your notebook, along with observations and clues about the mystery you are trying to solve. I never quite got used to the weird fusion of animal heads atop human bodies, but each character you meet is so fleshed out that it is a consistent joy interacting with them.
Superb voice acting lends vitality and realness to the bizarre character stylings. He has no choice and together with his ex-partner, Martin “Marty” MacChicken they scour the streets of Clawville to uncover the dark mysteries of Catzenko’s past, why she is being threatened, and by whom.Ĭhicken Police – Paint it Red! is a noire style point and click visual novel. Catzenko has been receiving threats that have her terrified for her life, and through a shared connection with Sonny’s ex-wife, Molly, she is asking for his help.
It turns out she is there on behalf of her mistress Natasha Catzenko, the dangerously beautiful owner of the Czar club, and current girlfriend of mob boss Ibn Wessler. How did she get there, and what does she want? To make matters worse there’s a pretty Impala in his room. There’s a hint of a painful back-story about his wife and daughter, cheap bourbon is his mistress and his ex partner of ten years shot and nearly killed him.
One half of the famous “Chicken Police” he’s 121 days from retirement, washed up, and living in a hotel room. You play as Santino “Sonny” Featherland, a down and out cop on furlough from the Clawville PD. It is extremely disconcerting finding yourself attracted to a seductive cat with emerald green eyes and a rugged chicken in a long leather trench coat. No, that isn’t right, they are animal heads beautifully rendered in photographic detail meshed onto human bodies. They’re all broad noire archetypes: a washed-up detective, a crime boss, a femme fatale, but they are also anthropomorphic animals. It’s more the characters that induce discomfort. Actually, that isn’t fair, it is actually dripping in style, with a strong 30s noire feel to it, complete with film grain giving everything a gritty tone. You’d be hard-pressed to find another game released this year that is quite as visually uncomfortable as Chicken Police – Paint if Red! is.
