WHAT THE CLUCK?!
As a fan of Zipp's Café, you probably heard about the World of Wilderness, the vast, and unique universe we created for our games. You may have heard about the Chicken Police too, the famous (or more like infamous) duo of detectives.
Well, the time has come, the Chicken Police got its second full-length adventure INTO THE HIVE!
WHAT IS CHICKEN POLICE?
Chicken Police: Into the HIVE! is a narrative-driven, "animal-noir-satire-adventure" where you play as Sonny Featherland and Marty MacChicken, the famous cop-duo called "The Chicken Police".
The game offers a city to explore, with jaw-dropping locations, amazing and weird characters, an original smoky, jazzy soundtrack, a complex and crazy conspiracy to uncover, and a 100% professional voiceover with a stellar cast!
The game is all about the characters and their relationships, interrogations, clue collecting, puzzle solving, and learning about the World of Wilderness. All this in a unique 2D-3D mashup style and a photomanipulation technique, and of course with a film-noir aesthetic.
FEATURES

more than 30 characters
fully voiced by a stellar cast
a thick noir atmosphere
weird and buzzing locations
a blood-pumping original soundtrack
play in noir mode or in full (techni)color
Check out our Launch Trailer:

Chicken Police: Into the HIVE! is a deeply personal story set in a world, we created from scratch. It may resemble our world, but it has its own history, cultures, religions, political powers, and social constructs.
We hope you will enjoy the game we made with so much love and care!
Please leave a review, and tell us what you think of it.

Dear players, dear friends, dear coffee lovers.
We are working hard to give you the best experience and to eliminate any bugs - not you, Frank - you are so diligently reporting to us.
The first hotfix batch has arrived. You can read about the fixes below:

There were some problems with the Chinese translation (recipe glitch) and some missing characters, which have been fixed.
The "librarian raccoon" achievement was not always available, this has been fixed.
In the food-making tutorial a text window tended to get stuck. It has been fixed.
There was also a bug during the coffee-making tutorial, this has been fixed too.
We also fixed an issue, where 'continue' was available right at the first install of the game, which could cause some troubles later.
In addition to other minor bug fixes, the profile system has been also redesigned.
There are still problems with some achievements, we are working on them, so you can expect another update very soon. In addition, we will be fixing several other issues in the following days, before the first really big update arrives.
