What the Duck
Game Description
Our game is about a detective duck who lives a Hannah Montana lifestyle. By day, he fights crime; by night, he fights his demons.
How does your game tie into the theme?
We took advantage of the light and dark theme to explore the duality of ducks. Light and dark, good and evil. You never know what a duck is thinking.

Fantastic! I only wish I could play with a gamepad because I want to play everything with a gamepad. I didn't notice the files button till literally the last one and realized I botched it initially. The voices really put it over the top for me.
Really fun game! The gritty noir style and audio with the silly duck detective and other animals is an amazing contrast! Very well executed and fun to play!
Fired for incompetence. Sounds about right :(
Super fun detective game. I loved the twist in the game.
Pros:
Critiques:
This is just so good. It is charming, well written, the music is great, the art is great. The plot gets delightfully more ridiculous as you play and it is just so much fun.
The implementation of the theme was also very original compared to the rest of the games I played so far. It is not a literal approach to it, and I really like that.
Great job, super impressive!
This was so fun!
Love the attention to detail, so many options, and high replayability! Very awesome!
Glad you enjoyed our silly duck game :)
Wow an entire detective novel shoved into one game jam! I haven't played such a deep narrative driven game in a while!
The mechanic of planting evidence is really creative (5* right there!). I enjoyed picking out stuff to frame the fellow animals. Although I messed up more than once (dropping evidence aimlessly, cleaning them up in front of the police), it was not punishing as you had thoughtfully added in checkpoints!
The writing is also engaging and humorous!
It's clearly a labor of love! Well done both!
Thank you for the thoughtful comment! I'm really glad you liked it :))
I will be playing this for a long while, love the Jekyll and Hyde expression of theme!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :D
This is really fun! I love it a ton!
Thanks a lot! I played your game as well and had a blast :D
