Understand the Core Gameplay Mechanics of Duck Detective: Secret Salami

For newcomers, Duck Detective: Secret Salami comes in two versions: a free and a paid edition. This guide focuses solely on the story mode of the free version, which is available to all players. Though the game is relatively short, its impact on the gaming community has been profound, achieving cult classic status within a year of its release. The game is divided into seven chapters, referred to as "Deducktions," which unfold as follows:

1. The Nest Egg
2. The Entrance
3. The Suspects
4. The Client and More Suspects
5. The Presents
6. The Message and The Business
7. 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. Thoroughly examine every item in the room, from the scattered papers on the floor to the loaf of bread and the phone on the desk. Remember, keen observation is crucial in this game.

Answer – Mr. McQuacklin had spent his last savings on buying bread.

Deducktion #2. The Entrance

Pay close attention to all signs and notes at The Entrance. Read them carefully and make sure to interact with every character you meet. This is your primary method of collecting vital evidence to crack the case of the missing salami.

Answer – Sophie is scared and upset due to receiving a terrifying note.

Deducktion #3. The Suspects

The crocodile seems suspicious. Ask him as many questions as you can. Notice the green bag beside his desk; it might indicate he's the burglar! Don't forget to check his computer for hidden secrets. This stage is all about interrogations.

Answer – Laura had hired Detective Duck to find her stolen lunch.

Deducktion #4. The Client and More Suspects

The sheep with the whisk appears too innocent to be a thief, but don't be fooled. Examine each person in the room individually and don't overlook anyone. Pay special attention to the lady with the whisk; check her hair just above her right ear. This might provide the clues you need to reach the correct conclusions in The Client and More Suspects.

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's gifts include a plushie and a necklace, but the book is our main interest. Scrutinize every corner of the page and read the note carefully. You might uncover valuable 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 chapter, you might need to venture into the parking lot. Since it's raining, bring an umbrella as you'll be talking to Boris outside for a while. Gather every possible detail for The Message and The Business.

Answer – Salamis are being illegally imported from Salsiccia.

Deducktion #7. The Receptionist and More Business

Here, the plot thickens and the truth comes to light. Inspect every box in the room, including the electrical wires. You'll eventually find a safe filled with clues. The safe's code is 214, which might be the final piece needed to apprehend 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.
