Duck Detective: The Secret Salami has now 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 detective with a penchant for solving mysteries, as he waddles into a local bus company to tackle his latest intriguing case.
Duck Detective Needs to Find Who Stole the Secret Salami
Let's dive into how Duck Detective: The Secret Salami unfolds. You take on the role of a duck donning a trench coat, navigating through life's challenges, and your next big case revolves around a seemingly trivial matter—a missing lunch! What begins as a quest to find a stolen lunchbox quickly evolves into a much larger mystery, entangling suspicious alpacas and simmering office grudges. You'll also find yourself embroiled in some passive-aggressive corporate drama.
The game is fully voice-acted, featuring a cast of quirky animal coworkers who seem more puzzled by your presence than concerned about their secrets being uncovered. As you explore the bus depot, you'll engage in conversations, gather clues, and jot down notes in your detective journal. Your mission? To piece together the identities, roles, and motivations of those involved, all to unravel the mystery of why someone's sandwich sparked such a significant investigation.
A Point-And-Click Adventure That Is Full of Awkward Stares
Yes, staring is an actual game mechanic here. You'll find yourself locking eyes with suspects until they crack under the pressure. There's even a dedicated button just for quacking!
Duck Detective: The Secret Salami embraces the neo-noir genre with a playful parody twist. Picture yourself in a smoky jazz lounge, rain drumming against the windows, as you narrate your own melancholic inner thoughts about divorce—as a duck, no less.
For those who aren't thrilled by puzzles, the game offers a Story Mode that automates gameplay, allowing you to enjoy the narrative. You can try the first two levels for free before deciding to unlock the full game.
