Duck Detective: The Secret Salami has officially landed on Android, brought to you by Snapbreak and developed by Happy Broccoli Games. Step into the webbed shoes of Eugene McQuacklin, a detective who waddles into a local bus company with a mission to crack a peculiar case.
Duck Detective Needs to Find Who Stole the Secret Salami
Let's dive into how Duck Detective: The Secret Salami starts. You embody Eugene McQuacklin, a duck in a trench coat navigating a rough patch in life, whose next big case revolves around a missing lunch! What begins as a hunt for a stolen lunchbox quickly escalates into a larger mystery involving suspicious alpacas and simmering office grudges. You'll even delve into the world of passive-aggressive corporate drama.
The game is fully voice-acted, featuring a cast of quirky animal coworkers who are more bemused by your presence than fearful of being exposed. As Eugene, you'll roam the bus depot, engaging with these characters, collecting clues, and jotting down notes in your detective journal. Your mission? To unravel who's who, what their roles are, and why someone's sandwich became the center of a full-blown investigation.
A Point-And-Click Adventure That Is Full of Awkward Stares
A unique aspect of Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is its staring mechanic. Yes, you literally stare down suspects until they crack under the pressure. And for a bit of fun, there's even a dedicated button just to quack!
This game is a neo-noir parody, setting you in a smoky jazz lounge amidst pouring rain, where you'll narrate your own melancholic inner thoughts about divorce—as a duck, no less. If puzzles aren't your thing, you can switch to Story Mode, which automates the gameplay. You can play the first two levels for free before deciding if you want to unlock the full experience.
