in the past


This is a very short but funny video game. It's not outstanding, but it's clever and well-written. I hope to see more stories from this feathered fella in the future.

This was really cute! I’d heard some Obra Dinn comparisons in the past when talking about this game, but it’s more specifically a Golden Idol-like: as you investigate you pick up keywords that you then have to use to fill out a summary of the facts of the case. The main difference is that unlike either of those games, you don’t get to view the time-stopped moment of the crime, it’s instead a much more standard “walk around looking for clues and interrogating potential suspects/witnesses” sort of deal; Frog Detective minus the adventure game fetch quest chains. Speaking of interrogations, I wasn’t expecting the voice acting at all so I burst out laughing when the gritty noir voice first came out of the cute cartoon duck. The voice acting is honestly maybe the highlight of the whole thing, the performances were all really fun. Especially happy to hear Brian David Gilbert in this, love that guy. I also loved the mechanic where you inspect someone and can actually see a more detailed version of their sprite through your magnifying glass, it lends itself nicely to little plot reveals and visual gags.

Witty, engaging and fun, but too short! I want so much more of the Duck Detective.

Mucho más corto de lo que me esperaba y al final algunos puzzles son más tediosos que complicados, pero está muy entretenido y sobretodo las voces son muy buenas.

Cutes kleines Rätselspiel mit überschaubarem Umfang, einer witzigen Story, voll vertonten Dialogen und ein paar netten Rätseleinlagen. Für den geringen Preis kann man das definitiv mitnehmen und ich hatte eine sehr gute Zeit damit.
