Understand the Core Gameplay Mechanics of Duck Detective: Secret Salami
For newcomers, Duck Detective: Secret Salami comes in two versions: a free version and a paid version. Our guide focuses on the story mode of the free version, which is available to everyone. Despite its relatively short duration, the game has left an indelible mark on players, achieving cult classic status just a year after its release. The game unfolds over 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 narrative kicks off in Eugene McQuacklin's somewhat gloomy apartment. The Nest Egg sets the scene and introduces you to the protagonist. Meticulously examine everything in the room, from the papers on the floor to the loaf of bread and the phone on the desk. Remember, in this game, 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 and make an effort to speak with everyone you meet. This is crucial for collecting essential evidence to crack the mystery of the missing salami.
Answer: Sophie is scared and upset due to receiving a terrifying note.
Deducktion #3. The Suspects
The crocodile character seems suspicious. Ask him as many questions as you can. Notice the green bag next to his desk, which could indicate he's our thief! It might also be 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
Don't let the seemingly innocent sheep with the whisk fool you. Examine every individual in the room carefully and don't miss anyone. Pay special attention to the lady with the whisk; look at her hair just above her right ear. This might provide crucial insights for 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 it's the book that piques our interest. Scrutinize every corner of the page and read the note thoroughly. You might find valuable 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 deduction, you might need to head outside to the parking lot. Since it will be raining, don't forget your umbrella as you'll be talking to Boris out there for a while. 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 surfaces. Inspect every box in the room, including the electrical wires. You'll eventually discover a safe full of clues. The safe's code is 214. This could be the final piece of the puzzle 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.
