Duck Detective: The Secret Salami has officially landed on Android, brought to you by Snapbreak and developed by Happy Broccoli Games. You step into the webbed shoes of Eugene McQuacklin, a determined detective who waddles into a local bus company to unravel a mysterious case.
Duck Detective Needs to Find Who Stole the Secret Salami
Let's dive into how Duck Detective kicks off. You play as 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 with a seemingly trivial stolen lunchbox quickly escalates into a larger mystery involving suspicious alpacas and simmering office grudges. You'll also 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 bewildered by your presence than worried about being exposed. As you explore the bus depot, you'll chat with them, gather clues, and jot down notes in your detective journal. Your mission is to uncover who's who, their roles, and why someone's sandwich sparked a full-blown investigation.
A Point-And-Click Adventure That Is Full of Awkward Stares
Staring is an actual 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, placing you in a smoky jazz lounge with rain pouring outside, narrating your own melancholic inner 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 try the first two levels for free before deciding to unlock the full game.
