Sequel to Duck Detective: The Secret Salami, Duck Detective: Ghost Glamping Is Out Now

Duck Detective: Ghost Glamping drops Eugene McQuacklin back into work

McQuacklin’s life sees him sharing an apartment with Freddy Frederson. Freddy is friendly, well-meaning, and fashionably questionable. Hoping to cheer him up, Freddy drags the brooding detective to a glamping retreat in the woods.

In the campground, they experience a chain of mishaps and suspicious activities. But what he investigates is almost secondary to the personal baggage he drags behind him. His unresolved divorce and a bread habit that’s spiralled far beyond a snack preference continue to shape how he approaches cases.

Meanwhile, the campsite might be hosting ghosts. He also has to contend with a new partner he didn’t ask for. The reluctant pairing forms the backbone of the mystery as the two attempt to sift through clues and pick at whatever crumbs of justice they can find.

A duck who keeps trying to swear off white fluffy bread

You interview suspects, inspect scenes with a magnifying glass, fill in missing pieces of text to form deductions, and tote evidence around in a notebook. In case you want to just glide through the mystery, there’s a story mode that softens the challenge.
