Duck Detective: The Secret Salami Review

Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is a short but charming peak into a single case of the titular Duck Detective, Eugene McQuacklin. A hardboiled down-on-his-luck duck trying his best to make rent. The case that falls into his lap is to uncover who exactly The Salami Bandit is and why they are causing such havoc to this out of the way bus station.

I loved this game. It's so charming and over the top. Constant jazz and a rainy moody atmosphere. Eugene has walked straight out of film noir and is stealing the show of every dialogue he's in. Sean Chiplock gives a fantastic performance and frankly everyone else in the supporting cast does as well. They completely sell the animal office workers they are portraying. And that's good because the bulk of the game is learning about this cast and all of their interpersonal drama and conflict. I think everyone will find a favorite in the bunch. I'd love to tell you mine but that'd be giving away part of the gameplay!

Deductions! One of the first things you have to do is find out the name of everyone in the office. Using deductions and details in your environment you'll pickup clues and useful information that helps you piece together the case.

This game is overflowing with details too. The office feels very lived in. My favorite detail is when you go into investigation mode and hover your magnifying glass over a suspect the part you're investigating gets a lot more detailed. Almost as if you're focusing and seeing them for who they actually are in that moment.

It's so creative and adds a lot of character to Eugene. It's like the cartoony artstyle is how he views things at first glance, barely giving them the time of day, before he focuses in and gets serious.

The Duck Detective is a two to three hour game so I don't want to give too much away. If you're into sleuthing and mysteries it's easily worth the asking price for the quality of what you're getting. This case is worth seeing through to the end.

Eugene is a character I'd love to see more of so my biggest hope is we get more cases from the Duck Detective!

Review: Duck Detective: The Secret Salami

Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is a great addition to the Happy Broccoli Games roster as well as to the detective mystery game genre. While it does play it safe in its approach, the game brings out the lovable aspects of the genre with its authentic characters and unique investigation. 

Keep reading!

Duck!Hybrid is a pathetic divorcee who spends all his money on bread loaves. He swears up and down he is no longer addicted to bread, but you find half-eaten slices clumsily swept under his bed whenever you visit.

He's left the police for greener pastures, yet his detective firm hasn't really taken off. Recently, he received a call to investigate a lunch theft at a call center. He served you a slice of buttered toast - just this one time, to celebrate - telling you how important this could be for his success. Then, he promptly asked if you could pay for his bus fare.

Now, you won't deny his innate skill of deduc(k)tion, or his deep, manly voice that almost convinces you he's a self-sustaining adult. On the other hand...

"Oh, this...? I just couldn't help myself, so I put up a pin board from our last date in the tulip fields. It's my favorite memory of us."

You sigh.

"What do you need this time?"

omg duck detective from hit game duck detective the secret salami!!!

[we-didnt-playtest-this-at-all]

I did enjoy duck detective but it seems a little strange that there’s no option to arrest Rufus and Margaret after they openly confessed to embezzlement lol. Also I really thought that the post credits scene would end with Freddy kidnapping you to lead into the next case. I do wish there was more than one since it’s fun but short.

meme in honour of the bizarre tonal whiplash of next week's streaming schedule:

SENUA'S SAGA: HELLBLADE 2 - Tuesday 21st & Wednesday 22nd, 7PM - 10PM BST

DUCK DETECTIVE: THE SECRET SALAMI - Thursday 22nd & Friday 23rd, 7PM - 10PM BST

(Not fixed dates, it depends on how long it takes me to beat the former before i start the latter, but it's likely to only be a day's delay at most since they're both apparently short games)

i am excited to play both of these and theyve been on my personal radar a while

[mossnrocksnbogwater]

Last Line Tag Game

Rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or however many you like).

So I was tagged by the wonderful @seiya-starsniper in this little game and I'm very very happy about it, thank you so much for the tag!!

The line is from my secret service Dreamling au that's hopefully going to be finished some time soon so I can get to posting!

Surely there was a fire ladder or emergency exit somewhere at the back, in case people had to be evacuated from the rooftops.

And since that's a long line, we do a few less tags (all without pressure): @arialerendeair @im-not-corrupted @bazzybelle @cuubism @my-brain-needs-a-spring-cleaning @twainxavier
