Play Overview
Duck Detective: The Secret Salami (2024) is a crime adventure about a down-on-his-luck detective duck. Play involves exploring the crime scenes to find clues and using them to complete statements about what happened. It stands out for the sentence-building deduction that requires lateral thinking and detailed observation.
You play as recently divorced private investigator Eugene McQuacklin. You inspect the evidence and interview suspects to discover their secrets. This slowly builds up a list of words to complete statements about what happened. Finding the right words to fit in the right place needs lateral thinking and comprehension to take account of all the other evidence.
The result is a game that feels like an Agatha Christie novel but without the usual daunting complexity. The plug-and-play solutions make it approachable for anyone. Without taking itself too seriously, it's a storytime mystery complete with a pompous detective, mismatched characters, and cramped environments.
