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): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 31 → 0.57/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.5/day in the week to Jul 21 → 0.6/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.

Solid logic puzzle. The movement from location to location provides good break points to start and stop game sessions, and I especially appreciated to "countdown clues" option that made each of the "moves" easier to spot.
I quite enjoyed going to different locations to find "evidence". It was a nice change up to the series' formula.
As a lover of sudoku and number puzzles of all kinds, this game and all the others like it from this dev really hit the spot. I'd like one million more pls and thanks.

The little case files on real world mysteries were quite interesting. July 14th: I see the squares now. They're everywhere. So beautiful.
probablement le puzzle mosaique que j'aime le moins, l'idée est intéressante de mélanger mosaique et enquete mais j'ai honnetement eu la flemme de lire, je voulais juste du puzzle moi, partie pour laquelle je n'ai rien a redire
Пишу этот отзыв чтобы сказать: какая же эта игра офигенная. Небольшие мозаики дают мотивацию играть дальше. Также эти «тайны» имеют свои приколы: например, про пришельцев или монстров слишком заезженные, но остальные было даже интересно читать. Особенно хочу похвалить музыку - это буквально то, из-за чего я решил написать этот отзыв. Ещё прикольно, что мозаики решили как бы «разбросать» по локациям и персонажам. Единственный минус, который нашёл, - это шрифт: цифры могут быть одинаковыми, а буквы — кривыми. Например, «ш» на вид как «w», также у буквы «ц» чёрточка вниз выглядит как пятнышко на экране.
Fans of Picross and weird happenings should both try this game; Every solved puzzle grants you a file on a related creature or event, things like: Mothman, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, Area 51, Polybius... This game gripped me from start to finish that I couldn't really play anything else during my free time. Even staying up all night and day when I first started. It was less the story that pulled me and just the files themselves. I wanted to know what every new puzzle would tell me at its end until there was nothing left to give. I love the combo of minesweeper's number system with picross' focus of filling in blocks, it made it so easy to reach a flow state! While I liked most of the music, there was one track that was super eerie and almost borderline annoying to me. Also tried this on steamdeck and personally I recommend inverting the controls for it. Pretty enjoyable to slide the cursor around and tap the L2 and R2 buttons!
Fantastic through and through, love this genre you're pioneering! More please!
Great puzzles with a fun story and theme that keeps the game going along nicely.
The game is fun for killing some time while waiting, when the weather is bad outside, or if you just want to do some puzzles. The surrounding storyline is a nice addition; I did look up some of the stories because I wanted to know the details. All in all, a good buy.
