Ducks Afar

Description

“This is a short experience. It will be over before you know it.”
— You, to yourself

You are a planetary field researcher stationed far from home. The ducks in your care have wandered across a distant solar system.

To bring them back, you’ll prepare meals from sealed packs of HARDWORMS, highly magnetic resources that can’t be split or combined by hand. Your ducks insist on eating exact portions: not any more, not any less.

Ancient machines scattered across each planet are the only way to transform what you have into what you need. Learn how each mechanism changes your supply and lure each duck out, one quiet planet at a time.

How to Play

• Move: WASD
• Interact: Mouse | Left Click
• Cycle Item: TAB
• Restart From Checkpoint: R

Use the ancient machines to Combine and Thin hardworms until the final count is exact. If the portion is even slightly off, the duck won’t come.

Note: This demo encompasses the game's first act. More to come soon!
