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).

Works fine in my experience but understand that it's not really something you play: You just load it and it's basically a screensaver.
I just bought it, played it on the deck for 2 minutes, and refunded it. The duck doesn’t move so all you really do is use the mouse cursor to look around.
That's the just game, it's not any different on PC: It's basically thing you watch passively. You can move the camera around some, but that's it.
i don't have a steam deck, but i do own this "game." i don't think i can check steam deck specific community layouts, but i only see one community layout with my dualshock 4 plugged in. the controls are really simple though, all you need is a way to move the mouse and a few keys mapped, so it can't be that hard to make your own layout.
(i also think it's funny that it calls a "game" that you can't play "playable" but that's unrelated.)
I thought it was going to be some sort of play on the Rubberducking, explaining the problem to a rubber duck, but doesn’t seem like it was really made with that in mind. Like it’d be cool if you could hook it up to a microphone and it asked questions or something while you talked. Sounds like a glorified screensaver though.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I really thought you got to *be* the plastic duck. I appreciate your help, because I wasn’t expecting a glorified screensaver.
