Chicken Holmes - The Mystery of Bartolomeu

I really can't recommend Chicken Holmes. It's cute, but I never felt engaged by it; I was just waiting for something interesting to happen and it never did. You play a Chicken Detective in an animal city. Someone has been abducted. You arrive at a crime scene, depicted as 3D rooms with a missing 4th wall, and you click on evidence. Each item you click on has a cute quip. Here's the problem. That evidence doesn't add up to anything. Make no mistake, this is NOT a mystery game. There is no case to solve or clues to consider. This is a point-and-click adventure made of some small riddles that become increasingly nonsensical. You CAN collect evidence, there's even a place to put it. It doesn't contribute to anything. But there's no action wheel or anything. When you click you pick up important items. If you have the right item when you click, you solve the puzzle. Puzzles are typically displayed as short riddles that are either extremely obscure or directly tell you what to do. You...

I don't really understand the praise for it. The text / dialogue is mostly nonsense and not in an intentional, funny way. The gameplay is just a pixel hunt with no indication of what to do. I actually clicked over seemingly everything in every room and there's just nothing to do so I don't know if I'm done with the game or something is bugged and not activating. It's cheap on sale but I don't think it'd be worth the time to install and launch if it was free, there's just nothing here. It's cute visually, but you can get that from the screenshots.

I will not reccommend it, you have to click everywhere to found invisible ''hidden'' objects. The objects don't make any sense and the story is not really better. But, the graphics and the music are nice !

If you are looking for a short, cheap, point-and-click game- this is the one for you. The graphics are a cute style, I especially liked the way when you hover over an item it rocks back and forth. This game was truly a nice way to pass time as a chicken detective (everyone's dream). I only had a few issues/bugs that I encountered: Some items you can click on did not display the text for said item, it would read text for a nearby item instead. This seemed like a delay, and I had to hover away from the item and back on to receive the correct text. Some clues for placement were not entirely clear, so I ended up going from room to room clicking everything I possibly could until I got it right. In the "skateboard" room I experienced a delay after exchanging for the key to another room; after the exchange it took a few seconds for the swapped item to appear in its place. Now these issues could be chalked up to the fact that I don't own the most amazing processing unit to run games on, but s...

Really nice game, a great soundtrack with a lot of funny comments, really great.

I liked the idea of the little chicken, with a humor, just stay tuned to the details and look for clues, in the classic point-click style.

fun

Dialogue is obscure movie/pop culture references.... at best. Not an engaging game, even the little interactivity that there was felt like it had loose ends.

Very unique! I really enjoyed the riddles and the story. Would recommend! A very good short game.

a great game with mysterious and exciting cases to solve. I recommend.
