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 2,402 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.

好游戏,但是最后是未完待续。。。。。。 那我只能给你4颗星 ———————— 立刻更改评价为五颗星,这居然是前传。。。。。。。正传,我真的一秒都等不了你就要来了!!!!
A good prequel sequel to the original Methods. Instead of lots of mini-cases, this one focuses on a few big cases. If you played the original you already know the outcome, but nevertheless a lot of fun twits [I meant twists but I typo'd it and it also fits] and very challenging mysteries.
作为补充性的续作,加拿大档案拥有不错的独立性,即使对本系列作品一无所知也可以放心游玩。本作比之第一部,在可玩性上有了相当可观的改善,对应的也放弃了一部分群像,不过在人物塑造上依然精彩鲜明。就我个人而言,有些高开平走,最后一案没能达到前作中我的期待,但也可以,能接受。
