Duck Detective: The Secret Salami Launches Now!

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 crack a rather peculiar case.

Duck Detective Needs to Find Who Stole the Secret Salami

Let me dive into how Duck Detective: The Secret Salami kicks off. You take on the role of a duck in a trench coat, navigating through a rough patch in life, with your next big case revolving around... a missing lunch! What begins as a quest to recover a stolen lunchbox quickly escalates into a much larger mystery, involving suspicious alpacas and simmering office grudges. You'll even find yourself entangled in some passive-aggressive corporate drama.

The game is fully voice-acted, featuring a cast of quirky animal coworkers who seem more baffled by your presence than worried about being uncovered. As Eugene, you'll navigate the bus depot, engaging in conversations, gathering clues, and jotting down notes in your detective journal. Your mission? To unravel the identities and motives of the characters, and to understand why someone's sandwich warranted such an extensive investigation.

A Point-And-Click Adventure That Is Full of Awkward Stares

Yes, staring is indeed a mechanic in the game, where you lock 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 parody genre, placing you in a smoky jazz lounge with rain pouring outside, as you narrate your own melancholy thoughts about divorce, all while embodying a duck detective.

For those less enthused by puzzles, there's a Story Mode that automates the gameplay, allowing you to enjoy the narrative without the challenge. You can play the first two levels for free, giving you a taste of the game before deciding to unlock the full experience.

If you enjoyed games like Frog Detective, Later Alligator, or Return of the Obra Dinn, Duck Detective: The Secret Salami might be right up your alley. Don't miss out – check it out on the Google Play Store.
