The world’s most bread-obsessed, maritally-challenged waterfowl investigator is back on the beat in Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping.
The delightful follow-up to the indie hit Duck Detective: The Secret Salami, officially launches today.
Developed and published by Happy Broccoli Games, this cozy “no-murder” mystery is available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam & GOG).
The Detective Returns… to a Haunted (and Glamorous?) Campsite
When spookiness strikes a luxury campsite, there’s only one detective to call: Eugene McQuacklin, the one and only Duck Detective! Prepare to inspect evidence, make some serious “de-duck-tions,” and solve a brand-new standalone mystery.
This time, our feathered P.I. finds himself at a luxury campsite where things have gone decidedly pear-shaped. There might be ghosts, but the real thing haunting Eugene is still his failed marriage and an insatiable bread addiction.
To the Duck Detective’s (initial) annoyance, he’s also joined by a new partner in (solving) crime. Together, they must unravel the truth behind the campsite’s strange occurrences and nibble on the crumbs of justice!
The game promises a humorous spin on deduction puzzlers like The Return of the Obra Dinn, challenging players to interview a cast of suspiciously secretive, fully voice-acted characters, inspect evidence, and fill in the blanks to crack the case.
Our Verdict: Another Feather in Eugene’s Cap – A 4/5 Hit!
We’ve already had the pleasure of waddling through this charming mystery, and we’re thrilled to report it’s another winner! In our full 4/5 review of Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping, we said:
