Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.29/day in the week to Aug 7 → 2/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
A short, non-linear detective adventure. Investigate the mysterious disappearance of a successful CEO by analysing documents from her home and office. Examine evidence, connect clues, and make your own deductions to uncover a case of fraud.

After landing an enormous amount of investor funding, the CEO has disappeared under suspicious circumstances. The only evidence you have is a whole lot of documents.

Inspired by open-ended narrative deduction games like The Roottrees are Dead.

这是一款短小精悍的解谜游戏,它用最核心的设定提供了几乎最核心的线索,难度不大,通关较为简单。但如果你执意想要知晓所有人的姓名且将所有人的个人/家庭信息与搜查得到的信息完全进行对应,你会碰到一些作者的小巧思,可能需要对一些电波。一些谜题在评测者看来相当巧妙,但一些谜题可能是由于文化差异和评测者的阅历问题,灵感检定失败。 对于简中玩家,谜题的本地化做得相当好,信息文本相当流畅,字体也能相当体现一个人的性格,谜题的翻译与重构也做得相当巧妙。 对于游戏的架构来说,小巧精悍的6小时以内游戏过程也做出了循序渐进的引导。而捋清人物架构的模式也还原了调查本身,与《鲁特里一家死了》等游戏有所类似也不乏新意与趣味。 但对于作案诡计,这似乎不是整个游戏的核心,做得差强人意。所有线索都能在给的信息中找到,动机也相当明显,但这场作案绝对透露着一股草台班子味。[spoiler] 个人认为如果丽贝卡真的来过办公室,本杰明再用邮件将她引走似乎会更好。本杰明刷丽贝卡的卡进办公室,似乎有一部分把这件事情脏给丽贝卡的想法,但丽贝卡拥有完整的不在场证明,本杰明在证词中也交代了丽贝卡完全没来参加会议,这似乎有一些左右脑互搏。并且丽贝卡出轨这一设定也没进行很好的利用。个人认为另一种能让诡计增色的方式是让丽贝卡的丈夫比尔刷丽贝卡的门禁卡在会议室埋伏,本想仇杀本杰明却没能成功,反而误杀老板,最终将本杰明敲晕之后逃逸。这恰好让本杰明坐收渔翁利,携款逃逸。 [/spoiler] 不过综合来看,这是一款优秀的解谜游戏。
A treat! This is very similar to The Roottrees Are Dead as many other reviewers suggested, but that's a bonus for me. Very excited to see what is next for this developer/publisher. Very fun game, ~3.5 hours.

This game is a little short, but highly enjoyable. If you enjoyed "The Roottrees are Dead" and are fiending for more this absolutely scratches that itch.
I really enjoyed this, particularly the first half. It was fairly easy compared to something like Roottrees are Dead and would have loved if there were more employees to figure out. That being said, the investigation part after you got all the people identified was lacking. Yes, you can GUESS based off of things you've read but there's no definite clue you can point to for a few of the things they reasoned. It was frustrating after I spent a lot of time searching for the one key detail I missed that... it didn't exist. Overall I really enjoyed the first part, which took probably 1-1.5 hours. I'd definitely recommend this if it went on sale and I'd like to try out their next game if/when it comes out.
I don't know what to think of this game. Taken in isolation it's a fun little puzzle game in the TRaD style (The Roottrees are Dead) that will take you a few hours to finish. Sounds great! The confusing part is that when I said "in the TRaD style" what I actually meant is that it's exactly the same game, with the exact same mechanics, and even the same music! I actually had to go verify that it wasn't the same dev. I love TRaD so I'm not necessarily complaining, but I would have liked to see some innovation. A timeline tool was sorely lacking from TRaD and would have been a great addition here for example. In any case if you liked TRaD (or the Obra Dinn style games in general), you will like this game!
类鲁特里推理小游戏,难度不高(dbq我的时长是因为挂机去做饭了,酣畅淋漓地听了一场办公室八卦(。 虽然干扰项多但是绝大部分都是可以用的线索,流程相对来说比较短。
This is a good Roottrees-like game. It gives most of the clues as documents and doesn't have complex systems like search. This is a simpler approach for a short & sweet game. Although I went through all the evidence multiple times, I could finish the game in around 3 hours. I really enjoyed solving the puzzles.
Has lots of potential, but just too short.
Incredible game! Really well written, worth your time. It will scratch your Golden Idol/Roottrees itch and the clues/writing are top notch.
This was genuinely some of the most fun I have had with a game in so long! The story was so interesting and I really loved how you could take your time reading through all of the evidence! I felt so good when I was noticing and figuring out clues and puzzles! I took notes on every little thing because you never know what could be important later (you'd be surprised!) It was so satisfying finding the names and pictures for each person (and I LOVED the inclusion of the really cute pets!) I am so excited to see what more games this developer publishes, highly recommend!
