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): 0.57/day in the week to Aug 10 → 0.43/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.

Reviews
作为前传补全了拉里卡和队友们的故事,即使知道最终的结局依旧能够游玩得很尽兴。 推理部分比上一作更加精彩,只是可惜最后一案比起前几案稍显平淡,但考虑到受正传限制也让人能够接受。 游玩时可以明显感受得到作者各方面都进步了很多,非常愉快的游戏体验,期待作者创作出更好的游戏作品。 以及游玩时无意中发现按下v键会开启朗读模式,似乎是游戏引擎自带的无障碍功能,如果有帮助就太好了
好玩好玩。拉里卡的破案经历是风花雪月四个字,乔安是个疯子,安纳戴恩是温柔的话,比乌是冰冷的雪,泰兹是时不时睡着可望而不可即的月,安纳戴恩是四个字(好宝宝)
超究极群像剧,现在加入我们点点鼠标大赛,品味丰富多彩的多边形矢量图女同伴同事们!

所有人,立刻打开电脑游玩探案法:加拿大档案!
谜题不错,美术、群像、音乐、叙事手法都太强了 等了两年才等到完整版 期待下一部
什么时候!!!续作!!
好玩,跟侦探大赛比推理性和可玩行更强了,每一案对五位侦探进行了不同的角色塑造,每个角色都有亮点,剧情推理和角色塑造都不错的推理解密游戏,推荐!
好玩!
虽然很多人说第六案不好,但对我而言人物塑造和逻辑都足够合理,而且氛围很不错。非常棒啊支持这个探案法
赛沃·劳德侦探的探案法在更后来举办的大赛中无往不利;而在加拿大大赛中,其虽然也能有效解决案件中的诸多难点,却总是拿不到很好的个人评分(笑)
