User guide

Our hero, known to his friends as Hermes, lives in France, the country of love which is also known for its exquisite cuisine.

No! He's going to slaughter his own farm-raised free range chicken, but this chicken has a mind of his own. This is where our story starts...

Chase the escaped chicken to catch it and prepare yourself an unforgettable barbecue-grilled chicken. Yummy! But hell, that chicken sure runs fast!
