The game, which is really more of an interactive screensaver, involves guiding a rubber duck around a pool filled with other plastic ducks. There are 50 rubber ducks to find and a few other things to see if you can be bothered. But if you can&#8217;t, that&#8217;s OK too. As the game&#8217;s own Steam description reads &#8220;live in the present moment, enjoy life&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Since it released in 2022, Placid Plastic Duck Simulator has racked up an 97% &#8216;Overwhelmingly Positive&#8217; Steam rating out of more than 15,000 reviews, making it the 127<sup>th<\/sup> top-rated game on all of Steam,<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/steamdb.info\/stats\/gameratings\/\" target=\"_blank\"> according to SteamDB<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Any game that well regarded is likely to spawn a successor, and Placid Plastic Duck Simulator is no different. But dual developers turbolento games and Fantastico Studio haven&#8217;t just knocked out 50 extra duck models and called it Placid Plastic Duck Simulator 2. In fact, while the developer&#8217;s next game shares the plastic duck theme, it is otherwise completely different and substantially more involved.<\/p>\n<p>Placid Plastic Deck \u2013 A Quiet Quest is a card-battling adventure placing you in the shoes of Zoi, a teenage girl who has fallen out with her best friend, and aims to reconcile their differences by entering a regional card game tournament (which is, in my opinion, how all personal rifts and, indeed, diplomatic incidents should be resolved).<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NI_mSWCYv1w\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>There&#8217;s an exploration phase that resembles a classic JRPG with top-down, sprite-based graphics and branching dialogues. When it comes to throwing down cards, however, the game switches to a 3D, first-person perspective where you engage in turn-based battles on connectable, animated boards.<\/p>\n<p>Although the theme is heavily duck-centric, there are actually multiple decks that you can play with. I downloaded the<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3790860\/Placid_Plastic_Deck__A_Quiet_Quest_Demo\/\" target=\"_blank\"> demo<\/a> and waddled through the tutorial section where you acquire your starter deck. After answering a bunch of questions in a spoof mashup of Pok\u00e9mon&#8217;s opening and the Voight-Kampff test from Blade Runner, I ended up with the Void deck, which centres around dark, ethereal creatures rather than synthetic waterfowl.<\/p>\n<p>The card game itself seems similar to<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/inscryption-review\/\"> Inscryption<\/a>, which is an interesting, if perfectly reasonable template to adopt. I do hope the game uses its theme to build upon the basics as it progresses, however. The script could also do with a little tuning up, as some of the phrases Zoi says in responses to your choices don&#8217;t wholly line up.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, it seems like a fun little package, and quite the glow up from the idle simplicity of Placid Plastic Duck Simulator. There&#8217;s no set release date for Placid Plastic Deck yet, but the developers aim for it to take flight toward the end of this year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"b3dfa5bb-a36b-4cce-8261-ccfb9b0726d7\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best laptop games\" data-dimension48=\"Best laptop games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:146px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"o2twU6ehEfeJDWWUZMiEsB\" name=\"stardew square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/an-overwhelmingly-positive-idle-game-about-plastic-ducks-floating-in-a-pool-has-a-collectible-card-game-successor-and-theres-a-demo-you-can-play-now.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"146\" height=\"146\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-laptop-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"b3dfa5bb-a36b-4cce-8261-ccfb9b0726d7\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best laptop games\" data-dimension48=\"Best laptop games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Best laptop games<\/strong><\/a>: Low-spec life<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/steam-deck-best-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best Steam Deck games<\/strong><\/a>: Handheld must-haves<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-browser-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best browser games<\/strong><\/a>: No install needed<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-indie-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best indie games<\/strong><\/a>: Independent excellence<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/card-games\/an-overwhelmingly-positive-idle-game-about-plastic-ducks-floating-in-a-pool-has-a-collectible-card-game-successor-and-theres-a-demo-you-can-play-now\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am often in a state of delighted befuddlement at the games which prove popular on Steam, but few have simultaneously thrilled and baffled me as much as the success of Placid Plastic Duck Simulator.
