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 21 → 0/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.

Short detective visual novel where you talk to people and try to solve the case. I liked the visuals, but the story is somewhat cliché.

Worth it on sale for the music alone. Shame it got a slight cliffhanger that never went nowhere, as the developer disappeared.
8/10
A low-pace, ease-you-into-gaming level of simplicity, combines with a unique art style to bring you into the 1920's, to click through a short private investigation. The achievements are a checklist of the game content, and it can be completed in about 2-4 hours. Click everything and use all your clues on everyone to see how they react. Might require a second playthough if you miss some clues early on. Pretty standard completion; 5/7.
Short but really fun, detective visual novel. Well constructed mystery that never got boring despite its limited mechanisms. Had to think a little about the last option so that's a win in my book.
a fun little visual novel that lets you assume the role of a female PI in the 1920s. it's charming, with a minimalistic artstyle, interesting characters, and a mystery that may not be groundbreakingly new but still works out quite fine. the storybeats are pretty linear, although you get to decide which clue to investigate first. honestly, i just really enjoyed the vibes and the character art. i wasn't blown away with the story, but i also didn't expect to be and i think this game does well what it intends to do. i'd recommend getting it while on sale however!
氛围营造得不错,美术风格很适合这个故事。案件本身不复杂,完成家访就可以解开真相,流程大约二小时左右。但是作为推理解谜游戏,最终的真相不能通过线索直接推理得出,即使玩家对真凶产生怀疑也不能用线索与真凶对质,而是由证人直接说出的,是个糟糕的设计。
Классическая детективная книжная история поданная в формате игры. Офигенная джазовая музыка и стиль. В целом игра относительно короткая, но это не минус. А вот тот факт, что я догадался, кто виновник, но мне не дали шанса его обвинить на определенном этапе игры, меня расстроил)))
