Duck Detective: The Secret Salami has officially launched on Android, brought to you by Snapbreak and developed by Happy Broccoli Games. Step into the webbed shoes of Eugene McQuacklin, a detective on a mission to solve a mystery at a local bus company.
The adventure begins with Eugene, a duck in a trench coat, facing personal challenges and diving into his next case: a stolen lunch! What starts as a seemingly trivial theft quickly escalates into a larger mystery involving suspicious alpacas and simmering office tensions. The game even throws in a dash of passive-aggressive corporate drama for good measure.
Duck Detective: The Secret Salami boasts full voice acting, featuring a cast of quirky animal coworkers who are more puzzled by Eugene's presence than fearful of being caught. As you navigate the bus depot, you'll engage with these characters, gather clues, and jot down notes in your detective journal. Your mission is to unravel the identities and motives of the characters, all while investigating the curious case of the stolen sandwich.
A unique feature of the game is the staring mechanic; you can literally stare down suspects until they crack under the pressure. And yes, there's a dedicated button just for quacking!
Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is a delightful neo-noir parody. Picture yourself in a smoky jazz lounge with rain pouring outside, narrating your own melancholic musings about divorce—as a duck, no less.
For those less enthusiastic about puzzles, the game offers a Story Mode that automates the gameplay. You can try out the first two levels for free before deciding to unlock the full experience.
If you enjoyed games like Frog Detective, Later Alligator, or Return of the Obra Dinn, Duck Detective: The Secret Salami might be just your cup of tea. Dive into this intriguing world by downloading it from the Google Play Store.
