About the game
Meet your new desktop companion
Desktop Duck is a lightweight virtual pet that lives right on your screen. It doesn't sit in a window waiting for you. It wanders your desktop, hops onto your windows, naps on the taskbar, and notices what you're up to.
It has a life of its own
Reacts to you. Type and it gets busy with you. Go quiet and it finds its own fun.
Keeps itself busy. It reads a book, plays with a virtual pet, bounces a ball, juggles a soccer ball, or just sneezes.
Has feelings about its toys. Take one away and you'll hear about it.
Loves attention. Pet it, pick it up, toss it across the screen, and set it down wherever you want its home to be.
Dress it up
Your duck brings you gifts as you spend time together. Unwrap hats and glasses, fill out your Collection, and turn duplicates into Feathers to spend on the pieces you're after. Every item is a real Steam item you can trade with friends.
A companion that also helps you focus
Focus Mode. Start a session and your duck settles down and keeps you company quietly until you're done.
Website Blocking. Tell your duck which sites to keep you off, and it will fly over and close the tab for you.
Screen time stats. See where your day went, without the guilt trip.
Bring your friends' ducks over
Join friends online and their ducks show up on your desktop beside yours. Chat, send emotes, and watch them waddle around together.
Made to stay out of your way
Desktop Duck is light on your PC and never covers your full-screen games. Your activity stays on your computer, and all you need is Steam.
