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 of the free version, which is 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. The story unfolds over seven chapters, officially termed "Deducktions," which are:

• 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 tone and introduces you to the protagonist. Make sure to examine everything in the room, from the papers on the floor to the loaf of bread, the phone on the desk, and anything else you spot. In this game, keen observation is key.

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. More importantly, strike up conversations with everyone you meet! This is the only way 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

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 burglar! It's also worth checking his computer for 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 holding the whisk appears too nice to be a robber, but don't let appearances fool you. Focus on each person in the room individually and don't skip anyone. When examining the lady with the whisk, pay attention to her hair just above her right ear. This might give you some of the answers needed 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’s gifts include a plushie and a necklace, but the book catches our attention more. Examine every corner of the page and read the note carefully. You might uncover some crucial 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 one, you'll need to venture outside into the parking lot. Since it will be raining, bring an umbrella as you'll be talking to Boris for a while. Gather every detail 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. Check every single box in the room, including the electrical wires. You'll eventually find a safe full of clues. The code for the safe is 214. This might be the final clue 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.
