Press release:
Eger, Hungary / Vienna, Austria, May 21st, 2021.
The independent games studio The Wild Gentlemen and the international game’s publisher HandyGames, today announced that a retail version of their crazy VN/adventure film-noir game “Chicken Police” is coming to PC, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch this Summer (the SRP will be EUR/USD 19.99 for PC and PS4 and EUR/USD 29.99 for Nintendo Switch).

Release date in Europe: June 15th, 2021
Release date in US: June 29th, 2021, exclusively via Gamestop

Chicken Police features a stunningly peculiar visual style with artistic photo-manipulation and lifelike 3D backgrounds. The game convinces with a dark story and satire which recalls the mood and atmosphere inspired by classic film-noir movies of the 40’s. And like all the best noir detective stories, this one feels so gritty and desperate, that it can only be served with a side of cynical humor. Experience a carefully crafted world, a grim, sinister story, and absurd humor. All mixed up with elements of story-rich adventures and a visual novel style dialogue system, complete with a complex interrogation mechanic, detective gameplay and an ever-changing city.

Chicken Police – Paint It Red is published by HandyGames – a proud member of the THQ Nordic family.
