What The Duck
What The Duck
WHAT THE DUCK is an action-adventure RPG that takes place in a world where every person has a spirit animal, and some individuals are capable of summoning these creatures. Amidst powerful animals like Tigers and Dragons, you play as the guy who has a Duck.
The game follows the journey of Illy Bavent, an ordinary, mundane, and not very intelligent young man who works at a grocery store in a small village. Bored by the monotony of everyday life and a platonic love interest, Illy concludes that his life needs a shake-up and decides to discover how to summon his spirit animal (the Duck).
In search of Professor Drunken to learn how to summon his animal, Illy meets Hellen, who is on a quest for personal vengeance. Amid a terrible incident, they set out together on a journey through the provinces of the Empire to uncover what lies behind this event.
Illy is 23 years old and was born in Uno. The guy is lazy and lack ambitions in life, like a duck feather taken by the wind (I’m not sure if a duck feather is light enough to be carried by the wind but anyway... You got the metaphor).
Illy works on a grocery store but the only thing that really motivates him is his crush on Facille, a beautiful girl of the village.
In order to get her attention, Illy decides to make everything and every quest he needs to get his Spiritual Animal. For his mischance, it turns out that his animal was actually a tiny Duck. Seeing himself in the middle of a world-crisis, and having what he thinks is the worst possible animal to fight, Illy will try to prove to everyone else, and himself, the power of the Duck!
Hellen is 25 years old, she is strong and smart. Daughter of the professor Drunkren, Hellen is a natural inventor and her current project is to create a flying machine that could travel through the whole Empire.
The girl’s plans drastically changes when a mysterious attack to Uno’s Province marks her life forever with a personal tragedy.
Now all she wants is revenge.
Nobody knows his true name, but he calls himself The Blacksmith. The guys is the greatest influencer on ViDuck, the top streaming platform, and made his fame with weapon forging tutorial videos.
The guy is a rapper and will teach how to craft weapons in the beat of the song. Everytime he reach a new million of subscribers he dyes his hair on a different color.
Each province of the Empire is ruled by a General whose duty is to ensure that the Empire’s will is imposed on the people.
They are (or should be) the best warriors of the world and are there to keep the order, but some of them have their own objectives and that can cause a commotion in the world. One of them is the main suspect of recent attacks that killed innocent people. Who could it be?
Due the presence of a mysterious stone called Orgonite, some humans now can invoke their spiritual animals. Each person have it’s own spiritual creature that reflects their own personality.
Once invoked, the animals grants humans some amazing powers, and can assume a material body to help them in a vast range of activities, including battles. But for a tiny animal like a Duck, it might be smarter to just explore the world, fly and swim!
The combat is the main aspect of What the Duck gameplay. It’s fast and has different types of weapons that can be quickly changed during the battles. You also have the help of your spiritual animal that grants you different abilities in battles and more ways to explore the world when not in combat.
The Rhymesmith is the weapon crafting system and allows you to create new weapons with a musical/rhythm minigame that will make the blacksmith work much more fun.
