I really like CHKN (I call it chicken) the first time i saw this game was from Dantdm. It is fun it just doesn't get many updates, I am sad to see that it is getting less popular, but as of creating this review CHKN is free so I would recommend playing for just a little bit.

it's funny to see people react to your grotesque Abominations that you create with obscure names

I bought this game years ago when it was popular and it was ok for the price. But, now it's free, so I say get it! What do you have to lose? Your sanity? If you took time out of your day to find this game, or you've had it wishlisted for all these years, then you don't have any!

This is a great game. Its such a shame that it is abandonware, as this is one of the few games that I would have loved to see completed.
