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 2,419 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!

Well, started an internship at a consulting firm, knowing absolute 0 SQL, in 2,5 hours I have learned more than in 4 weeks 10/10
Absolutely brilliant game. It's genuinely a challenging puzzle game. I have SQL experience already, but I really enjoyed reading the concept descriptions in the manual. The game is really quirky, and cute, and a satisfying challenge. I love the art style and aesthetics. I'm totally obsessed, this has gotta be one of my all time favorites games.

Amazing game with really creative stories, problems, and artwork. The SQL integration is great and the dev keeps adding more features to make it more usable and helpful.
Came for an introduction to SQL. Stayed for the adrenaline.
eu sinto minha vocação para ser um detetive aumentando a cada caso
this game is so so so well designed! can't imagine how much time and effort went into creating all the data, making sure the player gets meaningful feedback on their sql queries, the worldbuilding etc etc. very very very clever. this is like orwell but for computer science students. amazing work, what a beautiful project of a game!!
This is one of the best detective games I've played and I am hoping more content/second version of this to come.
Satisfying and hillarious puzzles. I love a game that shows dictators can be good. Zoran even banned lung cancer and crime! Zoran had absolutely no involvement in whatever happened in Yargoslavia in 1993.
Cant recommend this game enough, you're an sql master? try it, perhaps you dont know absolutely anything about sql and data processing(?) TRY IT, think it through and feels ur brain burning because its quite possibly one of the best puzzle game that ive tried this year. As someone that doesnt understand the slightest of SQL, putting it on top of a puzzle game is genuinely a nightmare, but its so satisfaying when suddenly the query u put just shows u the culprit, nothing beats the feeling.
no information_schema but still fun
