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 23 → 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.
About

Welcome to Amsterdam. It’s 1988 and things couldn’t be worse. Amsterdam is a city awash in illicit drugs, sex trade, and organized crime. Someone turns up dead every day, usually in the infamous Red Light District, where every vice is for sale. This night is different: The dead body is not just another unidentified stiff doomed to obscurity. He’s a disgraced cop’s last ticket back onto the force.
A Death in the Red Light is an adaptation of the critically acclaimed puzzle game of the same name, set in historic Amsterdam at its lowest point. The decaying city seems doomed, with landmarks blighted by junkies, criminals, and seemingly unceasing civil strife. The urban rot seems all consuming - can you resist it and solve the case?
Live the life of a hard-boiled police detective investigating a true crime Amsterdam mystery, connecting the dots to solve a gruesome murder - all inspired by a real-life case! Use logic, deduction, and the resources of the Dutch police to solve the case.
Follow a non-linear storyline that takes you across the Amsterdam of 1988, a city torn apart by rampant heroin addiction, brutal organized crime, and widespread social unrest.
Explore the infamous Red Light District, from the picturesque canals to the seediest streets, including Zeedijk, the Heroin Alley, where regular cops don’t go without backup. You might not have another choice.
Meet the people of Amsterdam, from the underclasses desperate for a reprieve, through the predatory mob growing rich on their misery, to the police officers and social workers desperately trying to keep the city from exploding.

Неплохой детектив на пару часов. Перемещаешься по локациям, собираешь улики, ищешь подозреваемых. Заданий много и они интересные, но слишком легкие, хотелось бы посложнее. Долго ждала выхода этой игры и ожидала большего, но мне все равно понравилось.
Very short but pretty fun escape room detective game. there are alot of different kinds of puzzles so it doesnt become stale, the puzzles aren't that difficult so for beginners with puzzle games a good choice. The price for this game is sadly way to high though, if i didnt get this as a gift i wouldn't have bought it without a very high discount.

Always liked detective stories and this one hooked me right from the start. The mystery is intriguing and interesting, without being boring and repetitive. Would definitely recommend to all lovers of detective or mystery stories.
Freakin' love this one! The puzzles are a blast. I did some on my own, then my girlfriend joined and we tackled some more together. The whole noir style, the Amsterdam setting, the puzzle art direction - seriously pulled me in and I didn't realize how much time had gone by. Well done, Mystery City Games. More please!
Cute game. A friend told me about it and so far I'm having fun. The graphics are beautiful, and I feel like a cop in an old movie.
Very fun puzzle game. Enjoyed the different types of puzzles it throws at you. Always nice to play something that has some historical significance and is fun at the same time :) Would definitely recommend playing this on a rainy day with some smooth jazz in the background for the proper feel.
Fun idea for a game, but experiencing a lot of bugs in a short time. First I got locked in Act II because there was nothing to do according to the game, and now I'm locked in the hotel room because there's no more evidence popping up... Shame... There's also an annoying thing happening where the game thinks you're double clicking, causing you to have extra "mistakes" that get your rating down... Best to get this at a sale due to the short nature of the game and the bugs.
I'm having so much fun with this game! I like Mystery City's offline games so much that I signed up for Steam in order to play this. It's got a fun noir feel while you're solving logic puzzles in Amsterdam. Must go back to playing now...
It's a little too buggy for me: - I got softlocked out of the game after going back to the menu by accident once, and I saw someone had the same issue apparently - Some puzzles don't work as well, like this specific map puzzle where for some reason I can move the map *off-screen* and then accidentally trigger a WAY EARLIER point of interest, making me redo some stuff AGAIN I mean, did I finish it? Of course, there's not a lot of detective games out there. Until they fix some of the bugs, I can't really recommend this game, even if the story is pretty interesting.
Not enough games like this! Fun, challenging puzzle game wrapped in a murder mystery and a great setting, with enough intrigue to keep you guessing! Having a great time with it and can't wait to see more
