Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. I wasn't expecting much from a game about a detective duck, but this actually managed to get a chuckle out of me. The writing is sharp—it nails that dry, cynical noir tone while juxtaposing it against the absurdity of a glamping resort full of animals. The 'de-duck-tion' system is a highlight; it makes you feel like you're actually solving something rather than just clicking through dialogue trees.
It’s short—you’ll finish it in an afternoon—but it’s a focused, polished experience. The voice acting is surprisingly good for an indie title, and the art style has a lot of personality. It’s a bit too easy for a seasoned gamer like me, but I’d rather have a short, great game than a long, mediocre one. It’s a rare mobile gem that actually has a soul.
