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 available in the free version, which is accessible to all players. Though the game is relatively short, its impact on players has been significant, quickly earning it cult classic status within a year of release. The game is divided into seven chapters, officially termed "Deducktions." Here’s the sequence:

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 starts in Eugene McQuacklin’s somewhat gloomy apartment. The Nest Egg sets the scene and introduces you to the protagonist. Be thorough in your examination of the room—inspect the papers on the floor, the loaf of bread, the phone on the desk, and everything else you encounter. 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 signs and notes at The Entrance. Read each one carefully and make it a point to speak with everyone you meet. This is crucial for gathering the evidence needed to solve the mystery of the missing salami.

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

Deducktion #3: The Suspects

The crocodile appears suspicious. Ask him as many questions as you can. Notice the green bag next to his desk; it might indicate that he's the burglar. It's also worth checking his computer to see what secrets he might be hiding. The Suspects stage is all about interrogation.

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

Deducktion #4: The Client and More Suspects

Don’t be fooled by the sheep with the whisk; appearances can be deceiving. Focus on examining each person in the room carefully. Pay special attention to the lady with the whisk, particularly the area just above her right ear. This might provide the clues needed for 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 received a plushie and a necklace, but the book catches our attention. Examine every corner of the page and read the note carefully. It might hold the clues you need.

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 head outside to the parking lot. Since it will be raining, don't forget an umbrella as you’ll be talking to Boris for some time. Gather as much information as 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 story reaches its climax 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 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.
