Duck Side of the Moon follows a duck astronaut who has become stranded in space and is trying to find a way home. Players explore the galaxy, search for creatures and materials, craft gadgets and upgrade the astronaut’s spaceship.
The game’s exploration is built around moving through space as the duck astronaut, with both walking and flying included in the premise. The announcement trailer focuses on the game’s relaxed exploration format and the content planned for Homegrown rather than providing a detailed breakdown of the update’s individual features.
