Happy Broccoli's Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is highly rated on Steam, with 5 stars and around 5,000 positive reviews. I think the biggest complaint about the game is that it's too short, but when you look at it from the side, it's actually a compliment. According to Happy Broccoli Games, Duck Detective takes about two hours to complete, or three if you're leisurely cackling, while Apple Crumble has a playtime of 60 to 90 minutes.
