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.

Challenging but fun puzzles, I enjoyed the game
I really enjoyed the historic references. Though I know the city of leipzig, I have no idea how it was at the game's time. Solving murder cases in the style of that era is quite interesting. I enjoyed the game very much for the setting and atmosphere and it's Sherlock Holmes-esque approach. Nice game :D
The game is fine, a moderately far-fetched point and click with detective elements, and the cases are kinda interesting, but for the LOVE of GOD would you add autosave? It's the second time I'm losing an hour of progress, although I was dead sure I had explicitly saved.

A well illustrated point and click adventure that unravels towards the end It's hard to describe - as a point and click where you solve puzzles and speak with characters, it works and is a great way to spend an afternoon, but the way it's marketed makes it sound like a self guided mystery where you make your own deductions (for example, like the more recent Sherlock Holmes games by Frogware), which it really isn't (the game continues regardless of your choice and there's no test of deductive ability)
Valida avventura investigativa che può ricordare in alcune meccaniche quanto proposto da Frogwares negli ultimi anni. Il gameplay unisce le fasi investigative a degli enigmi più classici basati su logica e combinazione di oggetti. Ottima l'atmosfera grazie ad una pixel art curata. Purtroppo qualche inciampo nelle fasi finali gli impedisce di fare il salto di qualità, ma rimane comunque valida
Ganz kurzweiliges Point and Click-Spiel mit Name Dropping Rund um Leipziger Lokalitäten - nicht zu schwer und nicht zu Leicht. Die zu sammelnden und kombinierenden Gegenstände sind manchmal weit her geholt, aber dass ist ja nicht untypisch für das Genre. Der Humor ist unterhaltsam und die deutsche Sprachausgabe hat den passenden 90er Videospielsynchronisationscharme. Das Aussagen- und Deduktionssystem ist ganz interessant und das Merkmal des Spieles. Allerdings hat es etwas unbefriedigendes sich die Indizien so zu recht zu erklären, wie man es gerade möchte und vom Spiel nicht vorgegeben zubekommen, ob man richtig lag. Wenn man weit genug spielt, wird dies von der Story aufgegriffen. Der Fokus liegt also nicht darauf die Fälle richtig zu lösen, sondern die Story zu erleben. Diese ist allerdings recht einfach gehalten.
Schönes Spiel, für das ich viel zu lange gebraucht habe es wirklich durchzuspielen. Ich habe an ein paar Fälle vermutlich viel länger gesessen, als Anfangs gedacht, sodass ich das Spiel auch mal zwischenzeitlich gar nicht erst weiter versucht habe. Irgendwie schon fast nostalgisch, weil ich es unbedingt durchspielen, aber nicht nach einer Lösung online suchen wollte. Grafik ist klassisch pixelig mit einer sehr minimalistischen Note, wodurch man an dem Ganzen schon einen gewissen künstlerischen Touch erkennt, der sich aufs wesentliche konzentriert. Vor allem der historische Hintergrund erdet das Spiel. Die Geschichten sind durchweg schön geschrieben und die Gespräche auch nicht unnötig lang oder aufgeblasen. Insgesamt ein schönes Spiel für "immer mal wieder ein wenig weiterkommen, bis man die Rätsel dann auch endlich mal geklackt hat".
A nice homage to classic adventure / detective games, with all their pros and cons. Pros: cool story, jokes and humor, interesting mechanics, when it flows you feel like a genius Cons: illogical combinations that you get no hint to figure out, complex dependency chains of information (have to ask one specific person A about something person B told you then tell that to person C, who otherwise say nothing about each other), wild difficulty scale of puzzles and minigames (one feels like a breeze, another will stop you dead in your tracks). Overall pretty fun though, cool soundtrack, I like the train level
Overall I give this a neutral review, leaning toward not recommending. Pros and Cons: + The setting is interesting (- but completely irrelevant to the story or cases). + Graphics are very nice for the style it goes for (- but make it difficult to pick out areas of interest when pixel hunting) + The voice acting is good and the sound effects are nice. I especially liked the little chuckle the detective does which occasionally humorously matches with whatever you're examining. + The deductions system is pretty cool (- but seriously underbaked and occasionally just plain confusing) - The puzzles aren't explained well and have very little contextual relevance to the cases at hand. - Solving cases with multiple solutions requires a lot of faffing about in the notebook - The story is rather bizarre and unsatisfying. I had to resort to a guide because there was what I would call instances of moon-logic. I played the demo when it came out and I enjoyed the first case so much I purchased the game, but if you liked the demo, maybe you can save yourself some money and stop there.
I would have liked this game if it wasn't for an unsolvable bug in the last chapter that basically made it imposible to play and so I never got to end the game and see the story unravel.
