Critic Reviews for Chicken Police: Into the HIVE!
With a grim mystery, vividly violent world, interesting side quests and minigames, impressively real animal characters, and multiple endings to experience, you’ll struggle to put Into the Hive down once you pick it up. The story of Into the Hive is fresh enough to stand on its own, but with endless ties back to the first game between characters and references, the experience of playing both weaves together a horrifically beautiful story of inequality, crime, and style that sticks with you long past the ending.
In the end, Chicken Police: Into the Hive is a thrilling sequel to Chicken Police: Paint it Red. If you play the game without playing the original, there are some key moments referenced that will leave you feeling confused, however, the game does a decent enough job quickly glancing over it to not take you out of the overall experience.
Chicken Police: Into the HIVE! is one of the games that those who love detective games should check out. Those who like the first game will definitely like this one. Those who have not played the first game can also step into the World of Wilderness universe with this game. It seems like we will see more games set in Wilderness.

With Chicken Police: Into the HIVE!, The Wild Gentlemen once again masterfully deliver a film-noir detective experience with intriguing animal-headed characters, and while the game is relatively short at five to six hours with limited interrogation opportunities, it’s a must-play—even if you don’t usually go for visual novels—thanks to its fantastic music and superb voice acting that draw you into the story, making it hard to stop until the credits roll.

Chicken Police: Into the HIVE! (title drop) is just like its predecessor a very successful point & click. The atmosphere, the world and the humor are fantastic and the mystery is captivating enough to keep you glued to the screen for the almost eight hours. I enjoyed myself immensely with the antics of Santino and Martin. If developer The Wild Gentlemen makes a sequel, I will once again be at the front of the line.

A grim, depressing noir story about Chickens and Insects that you wish would never end.
