Duck Detective: The Secret Salami
A feathered investigator solves a cold cut conspiracy in an adventure that most players finish in a single sitting, leading to 76 mentions of its short runtime. Backed by a 95% overall positive rating and 91% approval across 484 post-launch reviews, this brief romp relies heavily on charm and wit.
What it's about: 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! This is a short but twisty detective case.
