Understand the Core Gameplay Mechanics of Duck Detective: Secret Salami

It's worth noting that there are two versions of *Duck Detective: Secret Salami*—a free version and a paid version. This guide focuses solely on the story mode of the free version, which is available to all players. While the game itself is relatively short, its impact on players has been profound, earning it cult classic status within a year of its release. The game is structured into seven chapters, officially termed "Deducktions," which are listed 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 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, the phone on the desk, and beyond. After all, 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 all the signs and notes you encounter at The Entrance. Read each one carefully. Most importantly, strike up a conversation with everyone you meet! This is the best way to start gathering crucial 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

This crocodile character seems suspicious. Ask him as many questions as you can. There's a green bag next to his desk, hinting that he might be our thief! It might also be wise to check his computer; you never know what secrets he's hiding. The Suspects stage centers around interrogations.

Answer – Laura had hired Detective Duck to find her stolen lunch.

Deducktion #4. The Client and More Suspects

The sheep with the whisk seems too kind to be a thief, but don't let appearances fool you. Focus on each person in the room individually and don't skip anyone. For the lady with the whisk, take a closer look at her hair just above her right ear. This might provide you with some answers needed to draw 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 we're interested in. Examine every corner of the page and read the note carefully. You might find some 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. As it'll be raining, make sure to bring an umbrella; you'll be chatting with Boris outside 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. Check every box in the room, including the electrical wires. Eventually, you'll find a safe filled with clues. The safe's code is 214. This could 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.
