Evaluation

Chicken Police: Into the HIVE! launched on November 7, 2024 as a complete, story-driven noir adventure. Following launch, the developer issued several hotfixes in November 2024 to address bugs and polish the experience, but no post-launch content updates or expansions have been released or announced for this specific game. The one item listed under DLC is the game's original soundtrack, which remains unreleased on the store. Soundtrack releases are standalone music products and do not constitute game content updates — they carry no implication about further story, gameplay, or expansion content. The developer's communications since launch have focused entirely on a separate game in their "World of Wilderness" franchise: Moses & Plato – Last Train to Clawville, announced in January 2024 and given a release date of April 14, 2026 in a March 2026 post. This is an independent title, not DLC or an expansion for Into the HIVE!. There is no announced post-launch content, expansion, or roadmap for Into the HIVE! itself. The game launched as a complete, self-contained narrative product — consistent with how The Wild Gentlemen shipped their previous titles in this universe.

About this game

Chicken Police: Into the HIVE! is a character-driven, story-rich, film-noir detective adventure in which you must uncover a complex, world-scale conspiracy by gathering clues, interrogating suspects, and solving puzzles.

Sonny and Marty, the Wilderness's toughest detectives, are about to embark on the biggest case of their lives, which will take them through the insect underworld and force them to face the darkest reaches of their past.

The soul of the game is the characters that bring it to life. There are over 30 deeply fleshed-out characters to talk to, all of them handcrafted, animated, and 100% voice-acted. The Wilderness is a world with a history that goes back thousands of years and is full of fascinating facts and mysteries. Explore the city of Clawville and, with it, its anthropomorphic inhabitants' colorful cultures, traditions, desires, and fears.

You're in for a story that will affect the fate of a whole city, even the whole world, and yet it's also very intimate, and "human." Murder, betrayal, conspiracy, loss, friendship, and love await you in this dramatic and absurd adventure.

  • Meet more than 30 fully dubbed characters

  • Explore the city and its 35+ locations freely

  • Collect clues, analyze evidence, and interrogate suspects

  • Solve problems in different ways, sometimes with different outcomes

  • Focus on the main mission or lose yourself in a sea of side quests

  • Play the story over and over again to discover all its hidden secrets

  • Gather more than 20 cutscenes and a fully original soundtrack

  • Bring some color to the mean streets of Clawville with Technicolour mode!

  • Prove you’re the hardest cock in the Wilderness!

The Wilderness is collapsing! Riots, dubious schemes, political corruption, and mass psychosis! Sonny and Marty, the two famous rooster detectives, must investigate a case that leads them to the Hive, a walled ghetto of insects.

Amidst a mound of misery and oppression, they stumble upon a worldwide conspiracy as they struggle with their own demons. The question is: will they remain "human" in the end? Or will they have to go WILD to set the world straight again?

The 'World of Wilderness' is a world and a brand, home to many different stories across multiple ages, and is constantly growing.
