Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Same day: best AU #89, worst UK #97 · 2 markets collected
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): 5/day in the week to Sep 11 → 24.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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

There’s been a backlog of unsolved cases piling up in the Minor Crimes Division of the Los Zorangeles Police Department and we’ll need a Database Detective to help solve them.
We’ll need you to analyze clues and manipulate data using SQL, a database querying language, to figure out who perpetrated crimes from as minor as littering to as serious as not checking out of a hotel after the check-out time.

Don’t worry! This role is intended to be accessible for those without any SQL experience, so each Database Detective is given an introductory textbook when they start! This short textbook is less than 20 pages and explains everything that’s needed to solve each case.
If you still have trouble writing queries, our comprehensive error messaging system will tell you exactly where your query went wrong, making it easy to correct your mistakes.
Still not enough? Each Database Detective is assigned an assistant who’s ready to answer any questions you might have, whether they be about the case itself or the SQL queries you’ll need to write!


Understanding how to manipulate data using SQL is not the only part of being a Database Detective! Your job will also require you to piece together evidence and clues, just like a real detective! Further on in your Database Detective career, you’ll have to sleuth through the internet and piece cases together yourself.
Fully voice acted mission briefings at the beginning of each case!
Fully hand drawn art for you to enjoy!
More than 40 websites to explore!
10 cases for you to solve, each case getting longer and more complex!
A total of around 8-10 hours of valuable work experience to add to your resume!

If zachtronics made a game about databases this would be it.
I'm also a person who does SQL at work and was shocked to find out I could actually enjoy it under the right circumstances. The gameplay really makes you feel clever for putting stuff together - I'd recommend it to anyone who likes detective games regardless of their familiarity with standard query language.
I like it
This game is an absolute delight! I work with data but have been procrastinating learning SQL. This game has genuinely made it fun to learn and practice! The art and voice acting are charming, the cases are bizarre in the best way and I'm having a blast exploring all the web pages to piece together clues. 10/10 Praise Zoran!
It's well made, silly, and fun. And at the same time pretty tedious, which is ok for such a game. Not gonna play it till the end, and it's fine, but for those who miss the good old coding times and want to solve some SQL queries it a pretty good stuff.
Best mystery game I've ever played. Writing SQL queries is surprisingly fun and educational, but it doesn't overshadow the core of the game, which is uncovering the mysteries. It's a mystery game with a SQL mechanic, it's not SQL homework with a mystery theme. There's no multiple choice answers in this game, you really gotta put it all together yourself, and it's so satisfying.
AMAZING GAME. Everything is well explained and SQLite is the perfect one for this.
