If You're An Adventure Game Fan, Duck Detective is For You!

Duck Detective is a fantastic adventure game that hearkens back to the days of point and clicks. It's got all of the charm, wit, excellent writing, and clever deduction-based puzzles you'd expect from a game during the prime of the genre. This retro styled adventure comedy game is one of my favorite games of 2024.

Atari has been terrible for decades at this point. But over the last three years, they've slowly begun to turn things around. With the recent release of Lunar Lander Beyond and the upcoming Yars: Rising by WayForward, they're about to take their next step to becoming a good publisher.
