Set during summer 1988, Duck Season puts you in the role of a child spending a day and night with a newly rented duck-hunting game. What begins as a familiar home gaming session gradually takes on a darker tone.
Use a light gun to shoot ducks in the retro game, then look around the family home and interact with objects. The experience alternates between the hunting game and exploring your surroundings.
Play additional mini-games, watch VHS tapes, and search for hidden details that reveal more of the story. Actions and discoveries can lead to different outcomes across seven endings.
Players often enjoy how VR makes the ordinary home setting feel immersive and unsettling, and many praise the gradual shift from retro childhood nostalgia to horror. Reviews also highlight the secrets, VHS tapes, mini-games, and multiple endings as reasons to explore further. Some players find the gun controls fiddly, and others say that replaying for more endings feels repetitive or that the experience is short.
