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 can solve the entire game in 15 minutes by clicking randomly. It's a mystery-themed game with no mystery, a puzzle game made of short riddles, and a nonsensical cartoon world where anything can happen and the characters are big silly gooses with basically no personality. It's also fairly buggy for how short it is. I had a few issues where I had the right item, but clicking didn't solve the puzzle. At one point I had to restart because I couldn't leave one of the room no matter where I clicked. For $1.99, there are a lot of other Steam games I'd rather play.

Picked this up on a sale, so i can't really complain much about the price, but i expected atleast something a little cute, but it wasn't even that. The whole game has 5 rooms with an end scene with little to do, in those rooms you keep clicking like crazy till you (or your character) finds something of interest, your whole inventory is limited to 3 items, so you keep going back and forth a bunch of times, till you find the last pieces to the end scene, which you can reach in around 20 minutes. I was actually expecting atleast a few more cases, but well...that wasn't the case. Then in the end, the one you been hunting starts talking a bunch of movie lines in Italian. Maybe that's a joke or missed translation, but since i don't know Italian or where the lines could be coming from, they go beyond me. The story was boring, the characters couldn't capture your sympathy, the puzzles aren't even there when you just smash your left button all over the screen. It isn't a hastened game, i believe they really put some love into it, but sorry there is just absolutely nothing redeeming in this game.

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.

맛있는 데다 귀엽기까지 한 닭이 탐정 노릇을 하는, 인상적인 스토리텔링의 아주 짧은 포인트 앤 클릭 게임입니다. 마우스 클릭과 텍스트를 읽는 것 외에 할 수 있는 건 없지만 대사와 음악으로 완성된 분위기가 매력적이에요. 클릭에 대한 반응이 가끔 늦게 일어날 때가 있다는 건 조금 아쉬웠습니다. 저는 해석하면서 읽는 데 시간이 걸린 편이라 30분을 넘겼는데, 영어가 능숙하신 분들은 더 빠르게 끝을 보실 겁니다. 그래서 괜찮은 경험이기는 해도 정가는 조금 비싸단 느낌이 들어요.

Para ler a versão completa, [b][url=https://nerdtrash.com.br/chicken-holmes-pc/]clique aqui![/url][/b][/i] Um joguinho de point and click no qual você deve investigar uma casa, coletar pistas e decifrar charadas. Confesso que me decepcionei um bocado com a experiência do jogo como um todo. Ele tem uma dinâmica bem típica de point and clicks, você vai clicando pelo cenário para ir investigando. É possível coletar itens, mas você não escolhe aonde usá-los - eles já são usados automaticamente - e isso deu uma boa quebrada no desafio. Os textos são bem criativos e possuem uma veia cômica. Um humor leve que me agradou. Mas olhando como um jogo de investigação, ele é bem fraco. :/ O jogo possui alguns bugs minors (ao clicar num slot de objeto vazio, a área de diálogo aparece mas sem nenhum texto, itens que se sobrepõe no slot, etc), não estragam a experiência mas mostram que o jogo não teve muito polimento. Por último: não espere um jogo para se envolver. Ele é extremamente curto, tão curto que nem possui um save state. Jogue com os olhos de uma experiência casual e não como um caso de investigação para se envolver e quebrar a cabeça.

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 simply the fact that this is a small game with minimal graphics should negate this. All things considered, it would be nice to experience an extended version of this game so I could continue my journey as a chicken detective.

bem divertido e otima trilha sonora.

Neste jogo você vai explorar a casa do seu alvo, o misterioso suspeito da Rua dos Girassóis. Sendo assim terá que resolver o mistério de Bartolomeu, o cruel sequestrador a partir das marcas do pobre Rubens que era o Açougueiro da cidade de Bofete. Eu diria que o jogo é mais um passatempo, possui puzzles totalmente fáceis, tem até sim umas frases engraçadas, mas eu me decepcionei um pouco com ele porque pelo título que transmitia uma sensação de ser uma história bem interessante, bem construída e não foi bem assim, pois o jogo não foca na investigação como deveria ter sido focado. Outra parte que não curti é de ser automaticamente os itens dos enigmas, não te faz pensar ou muito menos poder coletar itens e tentar descobrir de onde isto será encaixado, colocado e etc. O que me fez pensar positivo foi a decoração do jogo em si e por servir de uma breve introdução para iniciantes de puzzles e jogos de apontar e clicar.

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.
