In the ever-evolving world of indie games, a new challenger has emerged to compete with the mutant jesters of Balatro – ducks. Placid Plastic Deck – A Quiet Quest is a quirky card battler that draws inspiration from both the Pokémon series and the unsettling world of Inscryption.
Meet Zoi and Her Duck Army
In this whimsical game, players take on the role of Zoi, a pixelated character reminiscent of top-down RPG heroes. Zoi’s mission is to mend a broken friendship by collecting and assembling the ultimate deck of duck cards, or a “dueck.” These ducks are not your average pond dwellers; they come in various forms, such as Shark Ducks, Hypno Ducks, Bee Ducks, and the iconic Yellow Duck – the Mickey Mouse of the avian world. One standout duck is the mysterious Marble Duck, a symbol of enigma and intrigue.
The gameplay of Placid Plastic Deck – A Quiet Quest is shrouded in mystery, with aqua-blue playing boards and a duck progression pond adding layers of complexity. The world in which Zoi navigates is described as “a world of magical realism filled with both good and not-so-good, ordinarily weird characters.” The teaser trailers hint at a gameplay experience that is both tantalizing and puzzling, much like the inner workings of a clock.
While the announcement trailer may not overtly showcase the Inscryption influences, a deeper dive into the game reveals a potential dark underbelly to the seemingly “placid” ducks. The true nature of this quiet quest remains shrouded in mystery, leaving players intrigued and eager for more. As of now, there is no confirmed release date for Placid Plastic Deck – A Quiet Quest, heightening anticipation for the quack-tastic adventure that lies ahead.
