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 solely on the story mode available in the free version, accessible to all players. Despite its relatively short length, the game has made a significant impact, quickly becoming a cult classic within a year of its release. You'll navigate through seven chapters, officially termed "Deducktions," in the following order:

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

Your journey begins in Eugene McQuacklin’s rather gloomy apartment. The Nest Egg chapter sets the tone and introduces you to the protagonist. Meticulously examine everything in the room, from the papers scattered on the floor to the loaf of bread, the phone on the desk, and other items. Remember, 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 encounter at The Entrance. Read each one carefully. It's crucial to interact with everyone you meet here, as this is the only way to start collecting vital 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 seems suspicious. Ask him as many questions as you can. Notice the green bag next to his desk; it might indicate he's our thief! It's wise to check his computer as well—you never know what secrets he might be keeping. This stage focuses on 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 nice to be a thief, but don't let appearances fool you. Focus on each individual in the room and don't skip anyone. Take a closer look at the lady with the whisk's hair just above her right ear. This might provide the clues needed to make the right deductions 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 received a plushie and a necklace, but it's the book that interests us more. Scrutinize every corner of the page and read the note carefully. You might uncover some 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'll need to venture outside to the parking lot. Since it will be raining, bring an umbrella as you'll be talking to Boris out there 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

Here, the plot thickens, and the truth begins to emerge. 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 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.
