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/day in the week to Aug 23 → 0.14/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

Welcome to Amsterdam. It’s 1988 and things couldn’t be worse. Amsterdam is a city awash in illicit drugs, sex trade, and organized crime. Someone turns up dead every day, usually in the infamous Red Light District, where every vice is for sale. This night is different: The dead body is not just another unidentified stiff doomed to obscurity. He’s a disgraced cop’s last ticket back onto the force.
A Death in the Red Light is an adaptation of the critically acclaimed puzzle game of the same name, set in historic Amsterdam at its lowest point. The decaying city seems doomed, with landmarks blighted by junkies, criminals, and seemingly unceasing civil strife. The urban rot seems all consuming - can you resist it and solve the case?
Live the life of a hard-boiled police detective investigating a true crime Amsterdam mystery, connecting the dots to solve a gruesome murder - all inspired by a real-life case! Use logic, deduction, and the resources of the Dutch police to solve the case.
Follow a non-linear storyline that takes you across the Amsterdam of 1988, a city torn apart by rampant heroin addiction, brutal organized crime, and widespread social unrest.
Explore the infamous Red Light District, from the picturesque canals to the seediest streets, including Zeedijk, the Heroin Alley, where regular cops don’t go without backup. You might not have another choice.
Meet the people of Amsterdam, from the underclasses desperate for a reprieve, through the predatory mob growing rich on their misery, to the police officers and social workers desperately trying to keep the city from exploding.

Clever puzzle game with various different types of puzzles. Excellent sense of detail and playful humour. I like that it is tied to real locations which adds a lot of depth and story given its not completely fictional. Good brain teaser and fun play through.
It's a little too buggy for me: - I got softlocked out of the game after going back to the menu by accident once, and I saw someone had the same issue apparently - Some puzzles don't work as well, like this specific map puzzle where for some reason I can move the map *off-screen* and then accidentally trigger a WAY EARLIER point of interest, making me redo some stuff AGAIN I mean, did I finish it? Of course, there's not a lot of detective games out there. Until they fix some of the bugs, I can't really recommend this game, even if the story is pretty interesting.

Wasn't great, pretty janky. Puzzles weren't very fun. Only really worth when it's [b]heavily[/b] on sale.
好玩,由各种解谜小游戏组成的探案故事,美术风格也很对我胃口;但是太短了!2.5小时就能结案,部分谜题也有点需要对脑电波,除刷成就外没有重复可玩性;故事确实一波三折,但是精彩程度完全取决于玩家的解谜速度,我费尽心思都在[i][strike]卡关[/strike][/i]解谜,有点感受不到;不过整体上看倒是有点冒险小虎队的意思,在侦探图画书上用各种小工具解谜,挺有乐子的。 [spoiler]经典折腾半天结果是自杀,不过是根据真实故事改编的,希望多来点[/spoiler]
Неплохая игра. Интересная развязка, загадки прикольные, не сложные, но я часто тупила)) на разочек неплохо)
The puzzles are decent and I like the visual style. However, for its asking price the game is too short IMO (only a single case), so I'd recommend waiting for a discount. There's also still an almost game-breaking bug near the end. [spoiler]When you get to the hotel room and can't click on the suitcase (or the window cord/name tag): exit from the game, then resume, then go to the police HQ and enter the computer room, then return to the hotel by clicking on the "Hotel" link above. The evidence should be clickable afterwards.[/spoiler] Rating: ★★★☆☆
The description of the game sounded promising, but the game ultimately left me unconvinced. The lack of a meaningful context makes the experience feel shallow—there’s no thrill, no excitement, just fragments of a narrative with little depth. On the bright side, some of the puzzles were genuinely enjoyable. However, most were fairly easy, and even when stuck, it’s possible to guess your way through many of them or rely on hints. Overall, while the game has its moments, it doesn’t fully deliver on its potential, especially in terms of story.
While this was a lot of fun, it was a bit on the short side. You may want to wait for a sale. That being said, I hope to see more games like this. The puzzles were varied and relevant to the story and were a lot of fun (and not too difficult).
Fun, but short. Get it when it's on sale.
Too many bugs and too easy but clunky to enjoy. Maybe worth your money if it drop below 4$
