Chicken PolicevsEverlasting Summer
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
Chicken Police
Optimization · Systems & Chaos
Tests attentive reading and interrogation-line selection in a noir mystery.
Everlasting Summer
Optimization · Light / Casual
A branching visual novel that tests little beyond exploring choice routes.
Chicken Police leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos); Everlasting Summer leans Optimization (Light / Casual).

Case details are hidden until interrogated out
Everlasting Summer
Route outcomes are hidden only until first playthroughs
Optimization4 vs 3

Chicken Police
Picking correct interrogation lines is a solvable puzzle
Everlasting Summer
Mapping choice branches to endings is trivially solvable
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
