Game is fun but pretty short. Less than 2 hours to get through it. Overall what it has it does pretty well though. Some of the puzzles make a bit of a leap from what information the game gives you to what you find out happens, but overall the whole thing was a solid experience. The game felt really polished, and while the story for me kinda felt a bit disjointed at times overall it was a fun ride.

Short, simple, and silly. Duck Detective is a wonderful, incredibly linear mystery game that does not overstay it's welcome. I spent a Tuesday evening with this title. As a gamer that enjoys playing many titles at once, I appreciate shorter experiences that respect your time & money. At $10, Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is low risk, high reward. I strongly recommend this game.

Excellent little mystery if you're looking for something short and easy to digest. Really enjoyed my playthrough! Recommend getting on sale since it is such a short game.

Well made and great voice acting, but shockingly little content; This was not a complex or satisfying mystery by any means. It was already over by the time I got invested into it (<2 hours). If this is emblematic of their business model going forward, maybe i'll consider it in 5 years when they bundle 5 of them together for much less than $50.

A short, but pretty fun and a silly detective game! Also, the artstyle and the energy this game is giving reminds me of something that I would watch on TV when I was still a young kid. I really dig the 2010's cartoon vibes.

It's a cool game. I enjoyed it more than I expected. Everything works really well together: the graphics, the gameplay, the story. It's a great complete package. I liked the visual style a lot. It's quite short for the price thought, so I would recommend getting it on sale. Otherwise, no complaints. Great game!

Alright. [i]Duck Detective: The Secret Salami[/i] is done and dusted. I picked this up in the recent Fellow Traveller Megabundle, and it ended up being a completely charming and casual game that is actually also safe for kids to play but is engaging enough for adults. That's a rare combo. It took about two hours twenty minutes for me to complete, and I'd guess that is a safe average playtime to expect from this title. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3429667009 You play as the eponymous Duck Detective, a grizzled down on his luck detective hired to solve the case of the missing lunch at the local bus station. In order to do so, you spend most of your time getting to know the employees while also accumulating clues and facts. However, it turns out that the missing lunch is the least of this staff's issues, and you get caught up in mystery regarding the smuggling of salami (actual salami) and at least one other crime. Crime in this dog eat dog world, anyway. Speaking of dogs, there aren't any in this game, lol. But all the characters are anthropomorphic animals. Such as a giraffe receptionist, for example. And the fact that it's all animals doing human jobs, with all the same concerns we have, makes it pretty easy to identify with. But this game is all about keeping the mood light, fun, and casual. To that end, everything is presented with a mind towards comedy and all the characters have slightly exaggerated personalities. The giraffe, for example, has kind of a Valley Girl vibe. The young cat customer service agent is overworked and overstressed. The old penguin janitor is jaded and rude. the middle-aged sheep customer service lady is more interested in kind of a matronly Soutern Belle persona. You get the idea here. They're all likable regardless of their personality types. The dialogue is, as a result of the decision to make this a game good for all ages, mostly focused on funny stereotypes with a heavy dose of quirkiness. The Duck Detective, for example, is trying to break his addiction to toast and fresh bread. And there are funny moments where characters get sidetracked by tangential things. It's all pretty refreshing, especially if you're playing this on the heels of having played something serious. This is a good break from serious topics and intense games in general. Really fits nicely into the "cozy" territory of gaming. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3429667038 As far as gameplay goes, this is a detective game, so you will be speaking with everyone, analyzing clues and trying to puzzle out the sequences of events you're investigating. Speaking to everyone will also include interrogating them, but as with everything in this game, it's very non-confrontational overall. Even the actual confrontations are silly. It's all pretty intuitive and yet the puzzles are still clever despite being pretty chill. The presentation is isometric, similar to what you'd expect from CRPG's, but cartoonish combined with a splash of Noir, and of course, you're in a normal workplace setting, so you get that as well. The voice acting was fun. I think that's the best way to describe it. The actors really leaned into the exaggerated and yet approachable personalities of all the characters, and you can tell they enjoyed themselves while recording it. Very nicely done. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3429666967 I think all told, this game ended up costing $2.79 as part of that bundle. That feels like a stellar deal to me. But I would say the quality of the experience does validate the $9.99 retail price. I would not have been upset if I'd paid that much. But I didn't pay that much, and you could probably wait for another sale before grabbing it. It is definitely worth a look either way.
