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 to crack a case that's anything but ordinary.
Duck Detective Needs to Find Who Stole the Secret Salami
Let me dive into how Duck Detective unfolds. You embody a duck in a trench coat, navigating through a rough patch in life, when your next big case revolves around... a missing lunch! What begins as a hunt for a stolen lunchbox quickly escalates into a much larger mystery, involving suspicious alpacas and simmering office grudges. You'll also encounter a dose of passive-aggressive corporate drama.
Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is a fully voice-acted experience, featuring a cast of quirky animal coworkers who seem more bewildered by your presence than worried about being exposed. As you waddle around the bus depot, you'll chat with them, gather clues, and jot down notes in your detective journal. Your mission: unravel who's who, what they do, and why a sandwich has sparked a full-blown investigation.
A Point-And-Click Adventure That Is Full of Awkward Stares
Yes, staring is indeed a gameplay mechanic here, and you'll find yourself staring down suspects until they crack. There's even a dedicated button just for quacking!
Duck Detective: The Secret Salami embraces the neo-noir parody genre. Picture yourself in a smoky jazz lounge, with rain pouring outside, narrating your own melancholic inner thoughts about divorce—as a duck, no less.
If puzzles aren't your thing, don't worry; you can switch to Story Mode, which automates the game. You can dive into the first two levels for free before deciding to unlock the full game.
