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.

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.

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
