Bizarre survival crafting sim Duckside heads into Beta

The bizarre survival crafting sim that’s basically “Rust meets ducks,” is heading into its Beta phase. You can quacking sign up, if you’d like.

As shared during the recent tinyBuild Connect, the tinyBuild developed survival crafter bills — pun very much intended — itself as a game similar to others in its genre like DayZ and — yes — Rust. The game features both PvP and PvE, “deep, intuitive crafting,” and base building mechanics. Since you are a duck, you can also take to the skies.

Of course, you can also deck your duck out in armor, though, if armor isn’t your style, it seems like other forms of attire are available, such as a top hat, and load it to the teeth with firearms and other weaponry.

This certainly isn’t the type of game we’d expect, but it is at least a unique take on the typical survival crafter. You can sign up for its Beta on Steam.
