Understand the Core Gameplay Mechanics of Duck Detective: Secret Salami

For those unfamiliar, there are two versions of Duck Detective: Secret Salami: a free version and a paid version. This guide will focus solely on the story mode of the free version, which is accessible to all players. While the entire game is relatively short, its impact on players has been profound, quickly becoming a cult classic within a year of its release. You'll play through seven chapters, officially termed "Deducktions," which are listed below in order:

1. The Nest Egg
2. The Entrance
3. The Suspects
4. The Client and More Suspects
5. The Presents
6. The Message and The Business
7. The Receptionist and More Business

Deducktion #1. The Nest Egg

The story kicks off in Eugene McQuacklin’s rather dreary apartment. The Nest Egg sets the tone and introduces you to the protagonist. Be 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, in this game, keen observation is key.

Answer – Mr. McQuacklin had spent his last savings on buying bread.

Deducktion #2. The Entrance

Pay close attention to the signs and notes at The Entrance. Read them carefully and make an effort to talk to everyone you encounter! 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 seems suspicious. Ask him as many questions as possible. Notice the green bag next to his desk, which might indicate he's the burglar! It might also be wise to check his computer for any hidden information. 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 sheep with the whisk fool you with her friendly demeanor. Focus on each subject in the room individually and don’t skip anyone. Specifically, examine the lady with the whisk's hair just above her right ear. This might provide you with the clues needed to make the right deductions in The Client and More Suspects.

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 as gifts, but we're more interested in the book. Scrutinize every corner of the page and read the note carefully. You might uncover 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 section, 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 all available 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 true reality emerges. Check every single 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 to apprehend 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.
