Background

Chapter 1: Side A

Duckie is first seen sitting at the same table with Diane in the Black Lantern. After Alex asks for his order, Alex has the option of helping him find his missing whiskey bottle, which is in Gabe's apartment.

Chapter 2: Lanterns

He is one of the people at the Black Lantern mourning Gabe's death, where he told a few things positive about Gabe. He had described Gabe as a good guy. At the end of the chapter, He can be seen drinking a drink in his bar before heading out to the bridge. He is among the other characters watching a sky lantern dedicated to Gabe.

Chapter 3: Monster or Mortal

Duckie takes part in the LARP, playing as a gnome in a tavern (which is really the Black Lantern). He tells of a battle that occurred in the tavern, and his staff were killed. As a result, he gives Alex a key to help her on her journey.

Chapter 4: Flicker

Alex can find him in the Black Lantern during the Spring Festival. He is not in the mood to join the festival. Alex can check his emotions and either choose to dance with him or just leave him. If Alex dances with him, he will be convinced to join the festival.

Chapter 5: Side B

He is one of the people attending the meeting at the Black Lantern voting for Typhon's support before they are interrupted by Alex, who exposes Jed and Diane's scheme. Depending on Alex's past choices, Duckie may or may not support her.

During Gabe's future visions, Duckie will potentially be seen in the Black Lantern.

If Alex chooses to leave Haven Springs, Duckie may watch her board the bus.

Wavelengths

Duckie is heard talking to Steph on the radio asking her to predict his future. Depending on the player's choices, one of Steph's dating app conversations will involve someone claiming to have recognized Duckie as the host in a 90s-era infomercial.
