We are back with our monthly Indie Showcase, where we pick one of the many recently produced gems by independent game developers and make sure it gets some well-deserved time in the sun. For June, we are taking a closer look at the charming… Duck Detective: The Secret Salami!
What is Duck Detective: The Secret Salami?
Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is a cosy mystery game developed by Happy Broccoli Games. You play as the titular Duck Detective, on his greatest case yet. Solving it will be no walk in the pond.
In this 2-3 hour detective game, you must inspect clues and interview suspects to get to the bottom of a sinister, sausage-based conspiracy. (Absolutely the best sentence I will ever write, I may as well retire now!)
Using your own de-duck-tive reasoning, fill in the blanks of this case and point a feathered finger at whodunit. Will you solve this mystery, where nothing is truly as it seems?

With its simple yet effective sticker art style and low key specifications, Duck Detective: The Secret Salami can be played on near enough any gaming PC. But we’re not about that life.

We’ve duck-umented a few of our faves which we think will be fab for playing this indie gem, but you can explore the full Overclockers UK range if they aren’t the Watson to your Sherlock.
