You play a down-on-his-luck duck detective hired to investigate a stolen lunch. The search takes him through a small cast of suspects and a mystery that reaches beyond the missing meal.
Explore locations, examine objects, and talk to characters to collect clues and keywords. The dialogue and investigation are presented as a point-and-click adventure with fully voiced characters.
Use the words you gather to complete statements in your notebook and make deductions that move the case forward. Hints and different difficulty options can help when a conclusion proves tricky.
Players who enjoyed the game often praised its playful writing, cozy mystery atmosphere, expressive art, and voice performances. Many found the keyword-and-notebook deduction system engaging and approachable, though some felt certain answers required guesswork or that the puzzles were too simple. The short length was a frequent drawback, especially for players who felt it offered too little for the price.
