Understand the Core Gameplay Mechanics of Duck Detective: Secret Salami
There are two versions of *Duck Detective: Secret Salami*: a free version and a paid version. This guide focuses on the story mode of the free version, which is accessible to all players. The game, though relatively short, has left an indelible mark on players, becoming a cult classic within just a year of its release. You'll navigate through seven chapters, officially known as "Deducktions," each unfolding a piece of the mystery:
- The Nest Egg
- The Entrance
- The Suspects
- The Client and More Suspects
- The Presents
- The Message and The Business
- The Receptionist and More Business
Deducktion #1. The Nest Egg
The story kicks off in Eugene McQuacklin's rather gloomy apartment. The Nest Egg sets the stage and introduces you to the protagonist. Be thorough in your exploration—examine everything from the papers on the floor to the loaf of bread and the phone on the desk. Remember, in this game, observation is key.
Answer – Mr. McQuacklin had spent his last savings on buying bread.
Deducktion #2. The Entrance
At The Entrance, pay close attention to all the signs and notes you come across. Read each one carefully and make it a point to speak with everyone you meet. This is your chance to start gathering crucial evidence to unravel the mystery of the missing salami.
Answer – Sophie is scared and upset due to receiving a terrifying note.
Deducktion #3. The Suspects
This crocodile seems suspicious. Engage him with as many questions as you can. Notice the green bag next to his desk—could he be our thief? It might be wise to check his computer, too; you never know what secrets it might hold. The Suspects stage is all about interrogations.
Answer – Laura had hired Detective Duck to find her stolen lunch.
Deducktion #4. The Client and More Suspects
Don't let the friendly demeanor of the sheep with the whisk fool you. Scrutinize each person in the room carefully. Focus on the lady with the whisk, particularly her hair just above her right ear. This might give you the clues you need to draw the correct conclusions in The Client and More Suspects deduction.
Answer – Sophie works as a receptionist. Manfred is the Branch Manager. Laura works in customer service. Freddy works at the operational office.
Deducktion #5. The Presents
Sophie received a plushie and a necklace, but it's the book that intrigues us. Examine every corner of the page and read the note carefully. You might uncover vital clues there.
Answer – Laura gifted Sophie a plushie. Rufus gave Sophie a book. Boris gave Sophie a necklace. Nothing got stolen.
Deducktion #6. The Message and the Business
For this deduction, you'll need to step outside into the parking lot. Be sure to bring an umbrella as it's raining, and you'll be speaking with Boris for a while. Gather every detail you can for The Message and The Business.
Answer – Salamis are being illegally imported from Salsiccia.
Deducktion #7. The Receptionist and More Business
This is where the plot thickens and the true reality emerges. Check every box in the room, including the electrical wires. You'll eventually find a safe full of clues. The safe's code is 214, which might be the final piece needed to catch the salami thief.
Answer – Sophie was kidnapped as she wanted to snitch. Manfred is the salami thief. Sophie is an accomplice. Boris is an accomplice.
