A Nightmare on Duckburg

People do strange things when the moon is full. On one such night, an unrecognizable person opens the door to Scrooge McDuck’s money bin and walks up the stairs to his room with a big axe in hand. Before McDuck can say anything, his skull is split open and he lies dead on the floor. Sometime later, Donald Duck learns through the mail that the reading of his uncle’s last will and testament will take place on McDuck’s sister Elvira’s farm later that day. After solving the difficult task of getting a train ticket with no money, Donald learns that all the money has been left to Goofy, who has recently turned into an anti-capitalist extremist and wannabe terrorist. Donald only gets an old can of spinach, which is already past its expiry date. Disappointed and downcast, Donald continues his purposeless life, living from moment to moment, trying anything and everything to get money or food.

A Nightmare on Duckburg, by janleht, presents a very different Duckburg than the cheerful Disney city we are used to. The game plays years later than the comic stories, by which time Duckburg and its inhabitants have become run-down and dilapidated. Big factories churn out immense amounts of different-colored smoke and other waste. Donald’s nephews have reached puberty now – at least those who have survived; one of them killed himself a while ago. Another is a chips-munching TV addict and the third has turned into a religious zealot who reads his Bible all day long. Mickey Mouse, retired from all his detective work and married to some bimbo who plunders his bank account, is a lazy alcoholic who sleeps in his garden all day long.
