Understand the Core Gameplay Mechanics of Duck Detective: Secret Salami

For those new to the game, Duck Detective: Secret Salami comes in two versions: a free version and a paid version. This guide will focus on the story mode available in the free version, which is accessible to all players. Although the game is relatively short, its impact on players has been profound, earning it cult classic status within a year of its release. The game is divided into seven chapters, officially termed as "Deducktions," which proceed 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 somewhat depressing apartment. The Nest Egg sets the tone and introduces you to the protagonist. Be sure to examine everything in the room, from the papers on the floor to the loaf of bread on the desk, and even the phone. Observation is key in this game.

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

Deducktion #2. The Entrance

Pay close attention to all the signs and notes you'll encounter at The Entrance. Read them carefully and make an effort to speak with everyone you meet. This is your chance to gather 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

The crocodile character here seems off. Engage him with as many questions as possible. Notice the green bag next to his desk; it might suggest he's our burglar. It could also be beneficial to check his computer for any hidden secrets. 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

The sheep with the whisk appears too innocent to be a robber, but don't let appearances fool you. Focus on each individual in the room and don't skip anyone. Pay particular attention to the lady with the whisk; look at her hair just above her right ear. This might provide crucial clues for 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's gifts include a plushie and a necklace, but the book is what we're most interested in. Scrutinize every corner of the page and read the note carefully. You might find some 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 part, you'll need to venture outside to the parking lot. Since it will be raining, don't forget to bring an umbrella as you'll be talking to Boris for a while. Make sure to gather every piece of information available 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 comes to light. Inspect 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 of the puzzle 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.
