Duck Detective: Secret Salami is a masterclass in 'cozy' game design. It doesn't take itself seriously, and that's its greatest strength. Playing as Eugene McQuacklin, a duck who is clearly struggling with life but trying his best, makes for some genuinely hilarious and touching moments. The voice acting is surprisingly high quality, giving each character in the office a distinct, often eccentric personality.
The 'deduction board' is a clever way to handle the mystery without hand-holding too much. You have to actually pay attention to the environment and the dialogue to fill in the blanks. It's a short game—you can finish it in an afternoon—but every minute is packed with charm. If you enjoy games like Later Alligator or the Phoenix Wright series, this is a delightful, low-stakes mystery that will keep a smile on your face the whole time.
