About the Game

CHKN IS INCOMPLETE AND NO LONGER IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT.

The game is playable in its current state on a good computer but with some bugs and technical issues that prevented us from continuing development. We've made the game free and hope people will still enjoy what we were able to build together. Thank you so much for all your support. 🧡
