Duck Detective: The Secret Salami has officially made its way to Android devices, brought to you by Snapbreak and developed by Happy Broccoli Games. In this delightful game, you step into the webbed shoes of Eugene McQuacklin, a determined detective duck who waddles into a local bus company to unravel the mystery behind a stolen lunch.
Duck Detective Needs to Find Who Stole the Secret Salami
The adventure begins with Eugene facing a personal rough patch, yet he's driven to solve the case of the missing lunchbox. What starts as a seemingly trivial theft quickly escalates into a larger mystery, involving suspicious alpacas and simmering office grudges. You'll dive into a world of passive-aggressive corporate drama, all narrated by Eugene himself.
Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is a fully voice-acted experience, featuring a cast of quirky animal coworkers who are more baffled by your presence than fearful of being exposed. As Eugene, you'll navigate the bus depot, engaging with these characters, collecting clues, and jotting down notes in your detective journal to piece together the puzzle of who stole the coveted sandwich and why it warranted such an investigation.
A Point-And-Click Adventure That Is Full of Awkward Stares
One of the unique mechanics in the game is staring. Yes, you can stare down suspects until they crack under the pressure. There's even a dedicated button just for quacking, adding to the game's charm and humor.
Duck Detective: The Secret Salami embraces the neo-noir parody genre, placing you in a smoky jazz lounge with rain pouring outside as Eugene narrates his own melancholic thoughts about divorce—all from the perspective of a duck. If puzzles aren't your thing, you can switch to Story Mode, which automates the gameplay, allowing you to enjoy the story without the challenge.
You can play the first two levels for free before deciding whether to unlock the full game. If you enjoyed games like Frog Detective, Later Alligator, or Return of the Obra Dinn, Duck Detective: The Secret Salami might just be your next favorite. Head over to the Google Play Store to check it out.
