Duck Detective: The Secret Salami has officially made its way to Android devices. Developed by Happy Broccoli Games and published by Snapbreak, this quirky mystery game puts you in the webbed feet of Eugene McQuacklin—a down-on-his-luck detective with a knack for turning lunch theft into an epic investigation.
Duck Detective Needs to Find Who Stole the Secret Salami
The story kicks off with what seems like a simple case: a missing salami sandwich. But as Duck Detective soon finds out, nothing is quite what it seems. What starts as a stolen lunch quickly unravels into a tangled web of suspicious alpacas, simmering office tensions, and corporate drama served cold. It's a tale where even the most mundane workplace grievances take on a life of their own.
This fully voice-acted adventure features a colorful cast of animal coworkers who are more baffled than intimidated by your presence. As Eugene, you’ll roam the bus depot, interrogating characters, collecting clues, and jotting notes in your trusty detective journal. Each conversation brings you closer to uncovering motives, relationships, and secrets that may—or may not—lead to the truth behind the missing salami.
A Point-and-Click Adventure Full of Awkward Stares
Duck Detective: The Secret Salami leans heavily into the point-and-click genre, complete with classic investigative mechanics. One standout feature? The staring mechanic. That’s right—you can stare down suspects until they crack under pressure. And yes, there’s even a dedicated button just for quacking at key moments.
Set in a stylized neo-noir world, the game captures the essence of smoky jazz lounges, relentless rain, and existential duck thoughts. You’ll narrate your own melancholic musings about life, love, and divorce—all while solving a sandwich-related mystery that somehow feels deeply profound.
If puzzles aren’t your thing, don’t worry—Story Mode lets you breeze through the narrative without getting stuck. Plus, you can try the first two levels for free before deciding whether to unlock the full experience.
Fans of games like Frog Detective, Later Alligator, or Return of the Obra Dinn will find plenty to love here. If absurd humor, engaging storytelling, and oddly philosophical ducks strike your fancy, [ttpp] is definitely worth checking out on the Google Play Store.
