Duck Detective: The Secret Salami has officially made its debut on Android, brought to you by Snapbreak and developed by Happy Broccoli Games. Step into the webbed shoes of Eugene McQuacklin, a determined detective who waddles into a local bus company to solve a perplexing case.
Duck Detective Needs to Find Who Stole the Secret Salami
Let's dive into how Duck Detective: The Secret Salami begins. You play as a duck donning a trench coat, navigating through a rough patch in life, and your next big case revolves around a missing lunch! What starts as a seemingly simple stolen lunchbox quickly escalates into a larger mystery, involving suspicious alpacas and simmering office grudges. You'll even find yourself entangled in passive-aggressive corporate drama.
The game is fully voice-acted, featuring a cast of quirky animal coworkers who are more bewildered by your presence than fearful of being exposed. As Eugene, you'll wander around the bus depot, engaging in conversations, gathering clues, and jotting down notes in your detective journal. Your mission is to piece together the identities, roles, and motives of your suspects, all to unravel why someone's sandwich sparked a full-blown investigation.
A Point-And-Click Adventure That Is Full of Awkward Stares
Yes, staring is an actual mechanic in the game. You'll find yourself staring 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, narrating your own melancholic inner thoughts about divorce—as a duck, no less.
If puzzles aren't your thing, don't worry; the game offers a Story Mode that automates the gameplay. You can try out the first two levels for free before deciding whether to unlock the full game.
