Save 20% on Placid Plastic Duck Simulator on Steam

The ultimate high-tech rubber duck simulation, Placid Plastic Duck brings you dangerous levels of relaxation. With chill music, dreamy 3D graphics, and many different happy ducks, your only priority is to float around. Zero Ducks given.

So I’ve been looking for a nice relaxing and/or easy game. Placid Plastic Duck simulator is now on sale. Steam says it’s Playable, but it isn’t listed as having controller support. Does anybody have experience with this game on Deck? Does it require keyboard mapping? Is there a community layout?

Other not really game specific questions I wouldn’t mind an answer for:

  • Is there a way to check for community layouts for a game without owning it?
  • Does buying a game that doesn’t have a demo and then refunding it because its compatibility isn’t great count against me in some way? The refunds policy seems to mention something about abuse, but without a demo I have no other way of knowing.
  • Any recommendations for relaxing games that are great on Deck? Journey was okay, but didn’t capture my attention. I loved RiME.

Best wishes and thanks in advance!

    Can confirm: Works on Steam Deck but I wouldn’t really call it a game exactly.

    As for other relaxing games: Sable, Slime Rancher 2, A Short Hike, Peglin, Bugsnax, and Untitled Goose Game are relatively low stress fun (mostly).
