Our take on Duck Season PC
The defining structure is a single day and night in 1988, during which a rented duck-hunting game gradually reveals its mystery through changing surroundings, branching events, and discoveries tied to the cursed cartridge.
What is Duck Season PC?
Set during a single summer day and night in 1988, this first-person narrative game follows a rented duck-hunting cartridge that develops strange properties.
Players hunt ducks through several game types, inspect a home environment, and gather clues as the in-game day changes. The story branches into seven distinct endings, with additional subplots, hidden secrets, and Easter eggs to uncover. The Kingbit Entertainment System also contains seven light-gun mini-games, while VHS tapes reveal short films. The experience is playable on a traditional monitor without VR equipment and uses virtual environments styled around 1980s games and movies. Its mystery unfolds through exploration, repeated play, and discoveries surrounding the cursed cartridge.
