Duck Detective: The Secret Salami Launches - A Story-Driven Adventure Awaits!

Duck Detective: The Secret Salami has officially made its way to Android, brought to you by Snapbreak and developed by Happy Broccoli Games. In this game, you step into the webbed shoes of Eugene McQuacklin, a detective duck who waddles into a local bus company with one mission: to crack the case of the missing lunch.

Duck Detective Needs to Find Who Stole the Secret Salami

Let's dive into how Duck Detective unfolds. Picture yourself as a duck sporting a trench coat, navigating through a rough patch in life, and tackling what initially seems like a trivial case—a stolen lunchbox. But don't be fooled; this seemingly simple theft spirals into a much larger mystery involving suspicious alpacas and simmering office grudges, not to mention some passive-aggressive corporate drama.

What sets Duck Detective: The Secret Salami apart is its fully voice-acted narrative, featuring a cast of quirky animal coworkers who seem more puzzled by your presence than concerned about their secrets being uncovered. As Eugene, you'll roam the bus depot, engaging in conversations, gathering clues, and jotting down insights in your detective journal. Your mission? To unravel the identities and motives of your fellow animals and solve the mystery of the stolen sandwich.

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

One unique aspect of the game is the staring mechanic—yes, you read that right. You'll find yourself staring down suspects until they crack under the pressure of your duck gaze. There's even a dedicated button just for quacking, adding to the game's charm.

Duck Detective: The Secret Salami embraces its neo-noir parody roots, placing you in a smoky jazz lounge with rain pouring outside, as you narrate your own melancholic thoughts about life and divorce—albeit as a duck. If puzzles aren't your thing, don't worry; the game offers a Story Mode that automates the gameplay, allowing you to enjoy the narrative without the challenge. You can try out the first two levels for free before deciding to unlock the full game.
