Duck Detective: The Secret Salami has officially made its way to Android devices, brought to you by Snapbreak and developed by Happy Broccoli Games. Step into the webbed shoes of Eugene McQuacklin, a determined detective duck on a mission to solve a mystery at a local bus company.
Duck Detective Needs to Find Who Stole the Secret Salami
The game kicks off with Eugene, a duck donning a trench coat, navigating a rough patch in life. His latest case? A seemingly trivial stolen lunchbox, which quickly escalates into a much larger mystery involving suspicious alpacas and simmering office tensions. Expect to dive into a world of passive-aggressive corporate drama.
Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is fully voice-acted, featuring a cast of quirky animal coworkers who are more baffled by Eugene's presence than worried about their secrets being uncovered. As you waddle around the bus depot, you'll engage in conversations, gather clues, and jot down notes in your detective journal. Your goal is to piece together the identities and motives of the characters, all while unraveling the mystery of the stolen sandwich.
A Point-And-Click Adventure That Is Full of Awkward Stares
One of the unique mechanics in the game is staring. Yes, you can stare down suspects until they crack under the pressure. There's even a dedicated button just for quacking!
Duck Detective: The Secret Salami embraces a neo-noir parody style. Picture yourself in a smoky jazz lounge, with rain pouring outside, as Eugene narrates his own melancholic thoughts about divorce, all while being a duck.
If puzzles aren't your thing, don't worry. The game offers a Story Mode that automates the gameplay, allowing you to enjoy the narrative. You can try out the first two levels for free before deciding to unlock the full game.
