Oh, and the world? Gorgeous. The art style is smooth on the eyesvibes sorta like a calm Sunday morning, but with a sprinkle of mystery. The soundtrack smoothly creeps in, making you feel like you’re in a detective movie, except with less trench coat and more quacking anxiety. Seriously, who tested this? Because at one point I was half-expecting the duck to pop out and say, “Gotcha!”
