Duck Detective: The Secret Salami has officially made its debut on Android, brought to you by Snapbreak and developed by Happy Broccoli Games. In this unique adventure, you step into the webbed shoes of Eugene McQuacklin, a detective determined to unravel a mystery at a local bus company.
Duck Detective Needs to Find Who Stole the Secret Salami
The game begins with you, a duck donning a trench coat, facing some personal challenges. Your next big case? A seemingly trivial missing lunch. But as you delve deeper, what starts as a simple stolen lunchbox escalates into a complex web involving suspicious alpacas, office grudges, and passive-aggressive corporate drama. Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is fully voice-acted, featuring a cast of quirky animal coworkers who are more baffled by your presence than fearful of being uncovered. Navigate the bus depot, engage in conversations, gather clues, and jot down notes in your detective journal to piece together the puzzle of who’s who, what they do, and why someone's sandwich sparked a full-blown investigation.
A Point-And-Click Adventure That Is Full of Awkward Stares
A standout feature of the game is its use of staring as a mechanic. You can literally stare down suspects until they crack under your gaze. There’s even a dedicated button just for quacking! Duck Detective: The Secret Salami embraces the neo-noir parody genre, placing you in a smoky jazz lounge amid pouring rain, narrating your own melancholy thoughts about divorce—as a duck, no less. If puzzles aren’t your thing, you can switch to Story Mode, which automates the gameplay. You can play the first two levels for free before deciding 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.
