Duck Detective: The Secret Salami has now 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 with a penchant for solving mysteries, as he waddles into a local bus company to unravel an intriguing case.
Duck Detective Needs to Find Who Stole the Secret Salami
The game kicks off with Eugene, a duck in a trench coat navigating a rough patch in his life, embarking on what seems like a trivial case involving a stolen lunch. However, what starts as a missing lunchbox soon evolves into a much larger mystery, entangling suspicious alpacas, office grudges, and even a dose of passive-aggressive corporate drama. Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is fully voice-acted, featuring a cast of quirky animal coworkers who are more bewildered by Eugene's presence than concerned about their secrets being uncovered.
As Eugene, you'll explore the bus depot, engaging in conversations with the staff, gathering clues, and jotting down notes in your detective journal. Your mission is to piece together the identities and motivations of the characters, all while trying to understand why someone's sandwich sparked such an intense investigation.
A Point-And-Click Adventure That Is Full of Awkward Stares
One of the unique mechanics in the game is the act of staring. You'll find yourself locking eyes with suspects until they crack under the pressure. There's even a dedicated button for quacking, adding a humorous twist to your detective work.
Duck Detective: The Secret Salami embraces a neo-noir parody style. Picture yourself in a smoky jazz lounge amidst a downpour, narrating your own melancholic thoughts about divorce—as a duck, no less. If puzzles aren't your thing, you can switch to Story Mode, which automates gameplay, allowing you to enjoy the narrative. You can try out the first two levels for free before deciding whether to unlock the full game.
This game is perfect for fans of titles like Frog Detective, Later Alligator, or Return of the Obra Dinn. Head over to the Google Play Store to give it a try.
