Too bad they couldn't name it Ducktective.

[@puppybasket3906]

A missed opportunity for sure

[@u83rj1]

No they just didn't want to be sued by Disney@@puppybasket3906

[@TrueLegateDamar]

Gravity Falls already did that, might get issues with Disney.

[@badscientist42069]

@@TrueLegateDamar I doubt it. It was just a joke in an episode. It's not an actual Disney IP.

[@ThylineTheGay]

@@TrueLegateDamar that's probably why they pointed it out, lol.

You should absolutely finish this game Wander!

"Rainy nights like these, they used to be my best friend," he says, his voice low and gravelly. "I'd cruise through the streets in my trusty ol' sedan, narration flowing like a river of despair... 'The rain poured down like tears from above, as I navigated the mean streets of Duckville.' Ah, those were the days. "But now? Now it's all fully voice acted. No more rich tapestry of words to paint the picture in my listeners' minds. Just already fully voice acted games with no opportunity to add narration of my own. No opportunity. What better way to summarize this city. A summary and an epitaph. For all of us poor souls caught wandering this hazy dusk of a conurbation."

I love those duck "facts". The banana DNA one is only 60% for humans so probably not much more for ducks.

[@Duchess_Van_Hoof]

The game has no right being this good. I haven't laughed like this in years, and I want more Duck Detective cases.

[@TheYear-dm9op]

38:05 Backpacks? Do you mean the garbage bins? The orange, rounded things on poles?

[@wanderbots]

Ohhhhh.

[@Duchess_Van_Hoof]

The animation makes me think of old board games I played as a child with paper figures.

[@quackastra]

Brezel is the German spelling of pretzel ;)

[@alexiusadty]

I love this! They nailed it with the voice acting, and the puzzle seems so fun.

[@tysorex]

please finish this game!! I neeeed to see how it ends

[@ronanhartman8942]

I always enjoy the story based games you oft cover

[@etherkye2]

Great game, I really do hope you finish it though

[@anoobis777]

funny af voicing xD

[@SBVCP]

I actually waited over 2 hours for a city bus a few times. Those times I got out of the bus and then got up then on the same one. Not same line, same *bus*, driver included. And as to why over 2 hours instead of half of that which I imagine is whatit takes to do the full cicuit? Well, sometimes they just ignore certain parts of the route when they are late. People hate them here..

[@Rixtah]

"Ernst" is german and means "Serious"

[@FightingFoodonsFan]

I personally wouldn't call this overdramatic, I feel like this is the result of swapping out various words (and visuals in the case of the bread) to make it kid-friendly, but besides the cute-looking characters, this should be considered a fairly serious detective (low-budget?) game. But that may just be my take on it. ...Actually wasn't Howard the Duck a detective in the comics? maybe that's the inspiration behind this game.

[@psymar]

DUN dun DUNNNNNN

[@Froggy_Bomb]

This is adorable (but I hate Laura 😅) however, the game is a little too uninteresting for me. I get it, silly duck detective game. But a lunch being stolen doesn't make me want to "solve the crime/case" I don't care about a lunch. Have the cute duck mam solve a murder case in a risqué hole in the wall bar. Have him solve a mafia crime or something more interesting than a LUNCH being stolen and SALAMI being imported. Dang lol.

[@MetalMockingjay]

The lunch theft is just the inciting incident. The mystery that really compells me is who's the Salami Bandit? Also, Freddy is so innocent! We have to help him.

[@Froggy_Bomb]

@@MetalMockingjay I definitely agree about poor Freddy! Why do they hate him so much?? I have not played, but my guess is the bandit is the bear dude (I forgot his name 😅) but I could be totally wrong lol
