Developed by Happy Broccoli Games
- Point-and-click, Puzzle, Adventure, Indie
Solving crime is no walk in the pond. You are a down-on-his-luck detective who also happens to be a duck. Use your powers of de-duck-tion to inspect evidence, fill in the blanks, and bust the case wide open, in a narrative mystery adventure where nothing is quite as it seems. In a city where everyone is an animal, down-on-his-luck detective Eugene McQuacklin, a recently divorced duck with a weakness for white bread, is hired to crack a peculiar case. Someone at a branch of the BearBus company has been stealing a coworker's lunch, and the elusive culprit has become known as the Salami Bandit. As Eugene questions the office's quirky employees and pokes through the scene with his magnifying glass, the petty theft begins to smell of something far bigger. Piecing together clues into careful "deducktions," the duck detective works to expose the truth behind the missing salami and the secrets hidden in the workplace.
