Duck Detective: The Secret Salami

[@VeWatchesVideos]

Eugene treating bread the same way most hard-boiled detectives treat alcohol or drugs is hilarious to me, especially since bread is actually really bad for ducks.

really bad for humans too

@kayhaven4710 i'm not sure what kind of people you mean that it wouldn't be good for. There will always be exceptions for every food, for example, when you have allergies or are intolerant to gluten/dairy. but bread should be a healthy choice for people without any intolerance 😁

[@marietheotaku94]

I'm surprised that Rufus and Margaret aren't also arrested for the vouchers

[@icefallssnowstorms3224]

Right I expected them to.

[@biyukun]

Yeah, that seems like the worst of the two crimes.

[@IronDino]

It's basically the reason why the branch was going under in the first place. I would have pinned it all on Rufus.

[@RainimatesInColor]

Agreed, I wonder why Eugene didn't file a report on those two.

[@AgaricRook]

Not to mention the blackmail on top of that.

[@Martha-Novalin-]

We are not only in Germany but apparently Eastern Germany before 1989. Because the Salami was paid with "Western Money".

[@Avellania]

It has to be a different timeline, because they have internet and social media.

[@cococup9607]

The salami thief note spells “ Be Quiet Or Else” lol

[@LoveYourself0903]

Yeahhhh, that’s why she is crying

[@billbill6094]

It was really kind of annoying she didn't see it when a character she talked to pointed it out blatantly in dialogue meant for people who didn't catch it initially, then spent minutes mix matching different words to find the right combination, and _still_ didn't pay attention to it when Ducktective was unraveling the mystery when all the letters were even more clearly prominent. Then she has no idea about Sophie having a secret because she didn't see the hidden message. Like why even play a mystery game at that point when instead of looking for and at evidence to come to a conclusion, you just collect info points from the environment and brute force the results until it solves itself? That's not a very satisfying gameplay loop, trying every possible combination not caring if the sentence makes sense until the notepad allows you to progress.

[@cococup9607]

@@billbill6094 I think you have a valid point but Gab also is playing for the first time and on the spot so she can miss things and that’s ok! That’s why she has us to help!

[@billbill6094]

@@cococup9607 That's why I didn't leave a comment directly to her backseat gaming, but I really wish she would engage more with some of these games sometimes. If you watch multiple channels on the same game, you get it's mostly to see how this or that person reacts to this part or that scene.

[@jorrdan.]

@@billbill6094tbf brute forcing is a problem with a lot of mystery games and it’s very well known in game dev that many players tend to do whatever is the easiest even if it is not the most satisfying, and it’s good to design around that. I think it’s partly the fault of the game design itself, but they probably just wanted it to feel low pressure anyway

[@kuroon7553]

I liked the game, but tbh I think there should be the option of arresting Rufus and Margareth too since they were also doing very illegal things

[@Amy_Dunn]

Finding out Brian David Gilbert did the voice for the alligator makes so much sense why it was such a hilarious character.

[@flyingsnail_art9170]

I thought the voice seemed familiar!!! It makes so much sense now :>

[@giselaralf5724]

The bear is literally called Mr. Serious and the cats last name is Anxious. I love this game

[@jamiethompson6463]

This duck is right. Bread is horrible for ducks. It can actually kill them. Get some seed from your local feed store. It's a lot better for them. Duck food is pretty cheap.

[@liawatson5789]

Peas are good, too

[@jamiethompson6463]

@@liawatson5789 yes they are. And those are cheap too. Plus they usually float. Ducks love that.

Nah, they replaced that trope with bread addict! 😂

[@Varksterable]

What a great little game. Especially the voice acting and over-complex plot. Totally loving the humour too. In particular the loading screen 'facts' about ducks. BTW the letter is an acrostic. Take the first letter of each word: Be quiet or else. This is hinted at several times. A really entertaining walk-through as always, Gab. ❤❤

[@maybi__]

woahh i didnt notice that with the letter! thats really cool and a smart way to give an extra hint to the people who can spot it (not me)

[@billbill6094]

Hinted at VERY obviously several times. Explicitly spelled out as well during the Duck's breakdown at around 55 minutes. But still not paid attention to.

Imagine: They make more of these games and it becomes like a series of them and each game the cases become more unhinged, eventually leading to an actual murder investigation for one of them 😅

[@Lisa_Flowers]

I just finished watching your frog detective video and it made me so happy, so I feel super lucky that you uploaded his today! Cozy animal detective vibes with great dialogue is a niche I didn't know I would love.

[@LeSethX]

Interesting. Watching the various endings, it appears like if you don't select anyone to arrest, it forces you to go over the suspects and choose someone

[@MaskedReviews]

That is VERY interesting. It means the 2% that let Manfred off had at least one of the others arrested instead

[@LeSethX]

Duck detective: the secret salami! let’s go! thanks for the video gab!❤

[@hmsmith1790]

I have been having a stressful couple of weeks because of some severe weather and personal issues, soI have been needing a serious pick-me-up. As always, Gab delivered ten fold! Ironically in our backyard, a few Ducks were in our pool attacking the female and we were able to stop the fight before things got too out of wing. The Duck we assume started the whole thing left and the male/female stayed for hour's just calmy swimming in our pool and walking around. So, I guess Ducks are a huge theme today! LOL

[@k-lingon-berry]

As a German this game cracked me up. 🦆🔍 I loved the humour; bread being treated as a duck drug and all the towns or cities being named after food. The plot I found only middling tbh, but the game was so charming it made up for it. My fave was the alien book 👽😂, also I think the "alien pin" Gab looked at was supposed to be a Star Trek emblem. 🖖

[@jellythehusky69]

This game needs to be a series. And I hope if it does become a series that Gab will do a full playthrough

[@maybi__]

i am usually not a big fan of games like these, where you have to talk to the same characters over and over again and only walk in the same environment, looking at the same objects and waiting for something to change. BUT i really enjoyed watching you play this game! i was genuinely curious about the story, which like never happens to me :] your reactions were so similar with my thoughts, which made it even more enjoyable, especially with freddie ^-^

[@BB-TheCandleFairy]

I hope (if we do get another game/case) that there will be newspaper clippings or clues like that to sorta summarize what happened to BearBus company and the people who worked there And if Freddy gets hired as an assistant, then he can also share some details while in the office or something abt what happened at the company and the aftermath of the case and Manfred and Sophie being arrested

[@MissKitty-yv2cn]

This was such a fun, cute game! I loved the noir scenes of him describing the environment hahaha and the humor was fun too! The Darkside Detective is a really fun game that I think Gab would enjoy! It's a point and click with HILARIOUS dialogue. If she liked Freddy, she'd love Dooley ❤️

[@roberthpilesund384]

Wow this is amazing. In the small town i was born, this actually happened, before the Berlin wall fell, but it was not sausage that was being smuggled. In the end "Manfred" got greedy and did some really shady business with another company. That was when it got investigated, first by reporters and then police. In the end, the whole bus company got shut down. The bigger bus company from the closest bigger city extended their bus lines and today nobody misses that old bus company. I just checked their old building, and it is a real estate company there now.

You would think a detective would know their client before taking the case lol not just have to figure it out along the way I don’t understand that part of the game unless they asked to remain anonymous

I definitely agree that Boris shouldn’t be arrested though and I’m also surprised more players picked him than Sophie!
