It feels like it wasn’t so long ago that I was playingDuck Detective: The Secret Salami, but already we’re hearingof a new gamefrom Happy Broccoli Games,Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping. It’s coming in 2025.
Oh, right. I just remembered what “glamping” is: glamorous camping. The opposite of roughing it. This time around, things get a little supernatural, as the detective investigates a haunting at the campgrounds. The trailer also makes a big deal about his bread addiction and related divorce. Poor guy. How else is he supposed to make sandwiches?
As the name implies, you play as a duck P.I. named Eugene McQuacklin, who investigates things. You gather clues, then put them together to make a clear picture of what went down and make some “deducktions.” Last time, it was an office theft that blew up into a bigger case, which is relatively mundane compared to hauntings. I’m wondering if it’s going to be one of those rubber maskScooby Doosituations.
To be honest, I didn’t digThe Secret Salamiall that much. It was fine. Mostly, I felt that the worldbuilding, characters, and dialogue could have been better, which is all things that can be improved in a sequel. It’s not surprising to see one so soon since it’s likely that Happy Broccoli Games have all their tools together and learned lessons from the last project. I’m just hoping thatThe Ghost of Glampinghas a bit moremeat on its bones.
Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glampingwill release on PC sometime in 2025.
