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 one. This guide focuses on the story mode available in the free version, accessible to everyone. Despite its brevity, the game has left a lasting impression on players, achieving cult classic status within a year of its release. The game is structured into seven chapters, officially called "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. The Nest Egg sets the stage and introduces you to the protagonist. Make sure to examine every item 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
At The Entrance, pay close attention to the signs and notes you encounter. Read each one carefully and make an effort to speak with everyone you meet. This is crucial for gathering 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 seems suspicious. Ask him as many questions as you can. Notice the green bag next to his desk; it might indicate he's our thief. It's also a good idea to check his computer for any 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
The sheep with the whisk appears too innocent to be a thief, but don't judge by appearances. Examine each person in the room individually and don't skip anyone. For the lady with the whisk, look closely at her hair just above her right ear; this might give you the clues you need to make the right 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 and a necklace, but the book is what interests us most. Scrutinize every corner of its pages and read any notes carefully. You might uncover important 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 part, you'll need to head outside to the parking lot. It's raining, so bring an umbrella as 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
This is where the plot thickens and the truth comes to light. Inspect every box in the room, including the electrical wires. You'll eventually find a safe full of clues. The safe's code is 214, which 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.
