If you're finding it challenging to navigate the game's story mode, we've put together a comprehensive guide for beginners to help you through it. Let's get started!
Understand the Core Gameplay Mechanics of Duck Detective: Secret Salami
For those new to the game, there are two versions of Duck Detective: Secret Salami: a free version and a paid version. This guide focuses solely on the story mode available in the free version, which is accessible to all players. Though the game is relatively short, its impact on players has been profound, quickly becoming a cult classic within a year of its release. The game is divided into seven chapters, officially referred to as "Deducktions." Here's the sequence:
- 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 somewhat gloomy apartment. The Nest Egg chapter sets the tone and introduces you to the protagonist. Make sure to examine every item in the room, including the papers on the floor, the loaf of bread, and the phone on the desk. 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 at The Entrance. Read each one carefully. More importantly, try to talk to everyone you meet! This is the only way to start collecting valuable 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
This crocodile seems suspicious. Ask him as many questions as you can. Notice the green bag next to his desk, which might indicate he's our burglar! It's also a good idea to check his computer; you never know what secrets he might be hiding. This stage focuses on 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 nice 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, look at her hair just above her right ear. This might give you some of the answers you need to draw the correct conclusions in this 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 we're more interested in the book. 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 one, you may need to head outside to the parking lot. Since it will be raining, make sure to bring an umbrella as you'll be talking to Boris outside for a while. You need 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 single box in the room, including the electrical wires. Eventually, you'll come across a safe full of clues. The code for the safe is 214. This might just be the final clue needed 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.
