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 determined detective who waddles into a local bus company to solve a peculiar case.
Duck Detective Needs to Find Who Stole the Secret Salami
Let's dive into how Duck Detective starts. You play as a duck in a trench coat, navigating through a rough patch in life, and your next big case revolves around... a missing lunch! What begins as a seemingly trivial stolen lunchbox quickly escalates into a larger mystery involving suspicious alpacas and simmering office grudges. You'll even encounter some passive-aggressive corporate drama along the way.
Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is fully voice-acted, featuring a cast of quirky animal coworkers who are more puzzled by your presence than worried about being exposed. You'll roam around the bus depot, engaging in conversations, gathering clues, and jotting down notes in your detective journal. As you piece together the puzzle, you'll uncover the identities and motivations of your colleagues, all while investigating the theft of that seemingly important sandwich.
A Point-And-Click Adventure Full of Awkward Stares
Yes, staring is a key 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 is a neo-noir parody. Picture yourself in a smoky jazz lounge, with rain pouring outside, narrating your own melancholic thoughts about divorce—as a duck, no less.
