About Miss Peacock
Miss Peacock is an adventure RPG and simulator from Otter Club that drops you into the politically charged, supernatural-laced world of 1930s French Indochina. As Lieutenant Chen, you investigate a mine’s declining output while navigating tangled power struggles and eerie occurrences. The game blends role-playing choices with resource management, letting you shape outcomes through diplomacy, investigation, and decisions that ripple through the story. Released in February 2026 for PC and Mac, it’s a slow-burn narrative experience with a focus on atmosphere and consequence. If you like methodical storytelling and layered worldbuilding, this one might hook you.
Gameplay
You spend most sessions exploring the mine and surrounding regions, managing resources like labor and supplies while deciphering clues from NPCs. Dialogue choices and relationship management drive the plot, with each decision affecting alliances and outcomes. The game’s core loop mixes inventory-based problem-solving, like fixing machinery or negotiating trade, with strategic planning to balance political and supernatural threats. Exploration is methodical, requiring you to document findings and track faction goals. Combat is absent; instead, success hinges on social engineering and resource allocation. The experience leans into simulation mechanics, but it’s the branching story and environmental storytelling that keep it engaging.
What Players Think
PlayPile users gave it a 7.2/10 average rating, with 65% completing the main story. Completion of all side quests hovers at 40%, suggesting the game’s depth rewards patience. Average playtime is 16.5 hours, though some marathon sessions hit 30+ hours. Community moods are split: 55% describe it as “thoughtful” or “atmospheric,” while 25% call it “slow-paced” or “repetitive.” One review noted, “The world feels alive, but the simulation elements can drag.” The game costs $39.99, and 83% of players unlocked all 45 achievements, which track story milestones and hidden objectives.
PlayPile's Take
Miss Peacock is a polarizing pick. If you enjoy slow, story-rich games with meaningful choices, its 1930s setting and layered narrative are worth the price. The simulation aspects might frustrate action fans, but the $40 asking and 15+ hours of content make it a decent value. Skip it if you want fast-paced action or open-world exploration. For those who like role-playing and historical mysteries, this one carves its own niche.
