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. Despite its relatively short length, the game has made a significant impact, quickly becoming a cult classic within a year of its release. The game is structured into seven chapters, officially termed "Deducktions," which you'll progress through in the following order:

• 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 chapter 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 and the phone on the desk. 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 and make an effort to speak with everyone you meet. This is your chance 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 to see what secrets he might be 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 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. Pay special attention to the lady with the whisk; look at her hair just above her right ear. This might provide the clues you need to make the right 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 find 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 chapter, you'll 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 for a while. Make sure to gather every piece of information 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 box in the room, including the electrical wires. Eventually, you'll find a safe full of clues. The safe's code is 214, which might be the final clue to catching 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.
