Disco Duck

Disco Duck is a cat-and-mouse survival horror and maze-running game about Jane DeLuca, a human girl living in 1977 New York City. She goes to discos and works at a beauty parlor until beings from Dimension Zed abduct her. Aboard an inter-dimensional ship, Master Hitchhog tells her that she must do everything he says to survive. The Hogmen and their company stalk Jane for sport, while she tries to get home.

Escape the maze

You must survive a procedurally generated, claustrophobic maze while fast, intelligent enemies pursue you. Activate markers and then the transmogrifiers, which continue to procedurally enhance the maze. You must make it through 14 stages and reach level 0 before the timer runs out, then exit the maze. Survival is the challenge.

Run and evade

Parkour and dashing help you move through the maze and evade enemies. Dashing can also send Jane headfirst into a wall; if that happens, she is knocked out briefly, which may leave her vulnerable. Jane can find and use abilities such as invisibility and shields, but loses them upon death.

Story and atmosphere

The game’s story has psychological and philosophical elements. Its soundtrack is nuanced ambience, and a playthrough takes roughly 3 to 4 hours, depending on skill. There is one difficulty setting, described as “barely making it out of the maze with the skin of your teeth.”
