Understand the Core Gameplay Mechanics of Duck Detective: Secret Salami

For those new to the game, 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. Despite its relatively short length, the game has left a significant impact on its players, quickly becoming a cult classic within a year of its release. You'll play through seven chapters, officially termed "Deducktions," which are outlined 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 somewhat gloomy apartment. *The Nest Egg* sets the tone and introduces you to the protagonist. Make sure to examine every item in the room, including the papers on the floor, the loaf of bread, the phone on the desk, and anything else you spot. 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. Most importantly, try to speak with everyone you meet! This is the only way to start 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 you meet seems suspicious. Ask him as many questions as possible. Notice the green bag next to his desk, which might indicate that he's our burglar! It might also be wise to check his computer; you never know what secrets he's hiding. *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 might seem too nice to be a thief, but don't let appearances fool you. Focus on each person in the room individually and don't skip anyone. Pay special attention to the lady with the whisk, looking at her hair just above her right ear. This might provide the clues you need 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 is what interests us most. Examine every corner of the page and read the note carefully. You might uncover 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 deduction, you may need to head outside to the parking lot. Since it will be raining, don’t forget to bring an umbrella as you’ll be talking to Boris out there for a while. Make sure to 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

This is where the plot thickens and the true reality emerges. Check every box in the room, including the electrical wires. You'll eventually find a safe full of clues. The safe's code is 214, and this might be the final clue to apprehending 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.
