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/day in the week to Aug 25 → 0.14/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.

Fun deduction game.
Quick game, tons of fun! Would love a DLC
Great game. A bit of an unpolished interface, but absolutely ***GREAT*** "Golden Idol"-like deduction game. Thoroughly enjoyed every case and would love to play future releases from this dev. Easy 9.5/10 with some genuinely funny writing at times.

It's a cute, interesting, and logic based game. I will say that I thought it would be easy and I was put in my place pretty quickly. The levels get more and more difficult, but you also become more familiar with how you should play and organize as you go. Great for using the brain.
Nice "golden idol" style deduction puzzle. There are no connected master plots to solve, but all the characters live in the same community so there are connections between the stories.
Compared to Golden Idol, this game has to much text and to clunky UI or movement between the screens. While Golden Idol makes you solve who is who and then you understand what the mystery is about, in this game you get the mystery way before you get the who is who. Game is okay. Will change review, when overall sinks below 70%
怎么不算一种吃瓜模拟器呢,翻手机看邮件,年轻人的小纸条老年人的复古信纸,海王海后轮番登场,每个年龄段都有人情世故。难度逐渐增大还能把关键词数量控制在39个以内,唯一的不足就是没有中文
怎么会有一家人同时这么倒霉的……玩得我代入进去了。希望他们接下来的日子可以顺遂一点xD
When I saw reviews saying this game was hard... I didn't believe them. But let me tell you, I have spent an hour or so trying to figure out the answer to one of the FIRST ones... just to be wayyyyy off course. Some of the answers seem like guess work tbh, but otherwise I like the premise of the game. EDIT: Just finished the game and let me tell you... I'm glad Steam Guides exist! This game gets so convoluted towards the end, it was impossible for me to figure out, it was information overload! And I was using the notepad to write down any and all info I came across too... I still like the premise of this game but I'm also glad I'm done lol
I really loved The Case of the Worst Day Ever. Even though it’s not a co-op game, I played through the whole thing together with my wife, and we had a great time trying to piece everything together. Figuring out the story, connecting clues, and slowly uncovering what really happened was incredibly satisfying. It definitely feels like a game made for people who enjoy detective work and don’t mind taking their time to think things through. Be prepared for a bit of trial and error along the way, but that’s part of the experience. When things finally click, the sense of satisfaction is absolutely worth it. If you enjoy mystery, investigation, and solving puzzles at your own pace, this is an easy recommendation.
