Chicken Police: Paint it Red! (stylized as Chicken Police: Paint it RED!) is a point-and-click adventure game developed by The Wild Gentlemen. HandyGames released it in 2020 for multiple platforms. Players control a burnt-out cop who is investigating a crime in a city of anthropomorphic animals. A sequel subtitled Into the HIVE! is scheduled for a 2024 release on Windows by Joystick Ventures. This game will continue after the events of the first game and follow Sonny and Marty on a new case. Chicken Police is set in an alternate world populated by anthropomorphic animals that are generally depicted as humans with animal heads. Players control Sonny Featherland a burnt-out cop with the head of a rooster. Sonny was formerly a celebrated hero but has become an alcoholic and is estranged from his former partner Marty MacChicken. After being approached by a distraught woman Sonny reunites with Marty to solve one last case before his retirement. The game is a point-and-click adventure game styled after 1940s film noir. Most of the game is in a stylistic monochrome but colors are used sparingly for emphasis. Players look for clues interview suspects and eventually perform interrogations. When interrogating a suspect a minigame determines their success. After being informed of personality quirks players attempt to find a line of questioning that will exploit that suspect's personality. Poorly-chosen lines of interrogation can close off dialogue options and reduce how much of the story's background players learn but this does not put the game in an unwinnable state.
