March 10, 2020 – The chicken police are back together! How did that happen and… why chicken?
Something Fowl is Happening in Clawville
The upcoming “animal-noir” buddy-cop adventure game Chicken Police – Paint it RED has already turned quite a few heads with its unconventional art style. “Bojack Horseman meets Sin City” has been a common reaction, but of course, there’s more to it than meets the eye. For the first time, Hungary based developers The Wild Gentlemen offer a peek behind the curtains and reveal concept art, voice actors and more.
Prominent Voice Actors – No Poultry Undertaking
Every character in Chicken Police is fully voiced by professional actors and veterans of the industry. You might recognize Kerry Shale (Sonny), Jules de Jongh (Natasha), Shai Matheson (Marty) and others from big titles like The Witcher, Mass Effect, Horizon Zero Dawn or Mirror’s Edge. You can get a glimpse of what the main cast sounds like in the following Video.

They May be Chicken, But They Ain’t Cowards
You’ve seen a lot of the prominent aspects before. Film-Noir. Buddy-Cops. These concepts are known and loved by many. But the big question is: Why chicken?
When asked, Co-Founder, director, writer and designer, Bálint Bánk Varga said:
“One of the main reasons was an old YouTube video where two real chickens fought with some nasty rabbits and basically put them into custody. Like real animal-cops in the field. It was hilarious and amazing! The second reason was that I always wanted to do some kind of animal-noir (in Hungary we have some really awesome stories with anthropomorphic animals), and chickens are cocky and weird enough to be utterly magnificent specimens for this kind of story.”
