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 focuses on the story mode available in the free version, which is accessible to all players. Despite its short length, the game has left an indelible mark on players, quickly becoming a cult classic just a year after its release. You'll progress through seven chapters, officially termed "Deducktions," which are as follows:
- 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. This chapter sets the tone and introduces you to the protagonist. Scour the room thoroughly, examining the papers on the floor, the loaf of bread, the phone on the desk, and every other item you can find. Remember, keen 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 the signs and notes you encounter at The Entrance. Read them carefully and make a point to interact with everyone you meet. This is your first step in gathering crucial evidence 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 at this stage seems suspicious. Ask him as many questions as possible. Notice the green bag next to his desk, which might suggest he's the burglar. It could be wise to check his computer as well; you never know what secrets he might be hiding. 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 might seem too innocent to be a thief, but appearances can be deceiving. Examine each person in the room carefully and don't skip anyone. Pay particular attention to the lady with the whisk; look at her hair just above her right ear. This could provide you with the clues needed to make the correct deductions.
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, a necklace, and a book as gifts. Focus on the book, examining every corner of the page and reading the note inside. You might find crucial clues here.
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 into the parking lot. Bring an umbrella as it will be raining, and you'll be talking to Boris for a while. Make sure to gather all possible details for The Message and The Business.
Answer: Salamis are being illegally imported from Salsiccia.
Deducktion #7: The Receptionist and More Business
As the plot thickens, the true reality comes to light. Check every box in the room, including the electrical wires. You'll eventually find a safe filled with clues. The safe's code is 214. This 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.
