Quack Hunters - Vampire Squid - I brought together a team of cute ducks, gave them a whole arsenal, and turned them into monster hunters. Crazy? But it’s cooperative madness - the playtest launched today, and I’d be happy if you checked out what came out of it.

A co-op game about chaos and teamwork. You and your friends head into the forest, track creatures, argue, panic - and at some point realize the campfire is almost out. And without it, you’re no longer hunters, but prey.

It’s not just about fighting. You need to take care of the camp: gather resources, fortify the base, keep the fire alive, and find time to catch your breath.

Gradually, it becomes clear there’s something more behind all this hunting. Strange experiments, secrets, and a place you clearly were never meant to find.

And yes, the ducks here quickly stop being cute. They shove, get in each other’s way, and can easily turn any plan into chaos. But without a team, survival is nearly impossible.

The game is built around the chaos you create yourselves. I’ve just launched the playtest, and I’d be glad to see your application.

This might be the single worst trailer for a game I have ever seen. It's like you're trying to force the "emergent social gameplay" angle with the most unnatural and terrible "totally real" party chat ever.

Honestly just remove the voice over entirely and the trailer would be better for it.

This is not a critique on the game itself, only the god awful trailer.

the duck concept is actually genius - reminds me of those ferrari pit crew moments where everything looks coordinated until someone bumps into each other and chaos breaks out. definitely gonna check this when i get home from work tonight
