Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Same day: best AU #89, worst UK #97 · 2 markets collected
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): 5/day in the week to Sep 11 → 24.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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

There’s been a backlog of unsolved cases piling up in the Minor Crimes Division of the Los Zorangeles Police Department and we’ll need a Database Detective to help solve them.
We’ll need you to analyze clues and manipulate data using SQL, a database querying language, to figure out who perpetrated crimes from as minor as littering to as serious as not checking out of a hotel after the check-out time.

Don’t worry! This role is intended to be accessible for those without any SQL experience, so each Database Detective is given an introductory textbook when they start! This short textbook is less than 20 pages and explains everything that’s needed to solve each case.
If you still have trouble writing queries, our comprehensive error messaging system will tell you exactly where your query went wrong, making it easy to correct your mistakes.
Still not enough? Each Database Detective is assigned an assistant who’s ready to answer any questions you might have, whether they be about the case itself or the SQL queries you’ll need to write!


Understanding how to manipulate data using SQL is not the only part of being a Database Detective! Your job will also require you to piece together evidence and clues, just like a real detective! Further on in your Database Detective career, you’ll have to sleuth through the internet and piece cases together yourself.
Fully voice acted mission briefings at the beginning of each case!
Fully hand drawn art for you to enjoy!
More than 40 websites to explore!
10 cases for you to solve, each case getting longer and more complex!
A total of around 8-10 hours of valuable work experience to add to your resume!

Fun mystery detective game, with good (dark) humor. I enjoy me a coding game, and the fact that I don't know SQL made it even better. I'd say that the game is about 50% detective game, 50% SQL, although I suppose for the SQL experts, that ratio will be different. Absolutely loving the game, have even shown my children bits of both the deduction and SQL. Recommended to anyone who likes solving mysteries and would like to learn a little SQL along the way.
This is the first time I'm leaving a steam review but I enjoyed it so much I need to recommend it even though I haven't finished yet haha I think started the demo at around 7:30pm and then went to bed at 5am because the game is so fun. I really appreciate how there's not just one way to come up with the correct answer and how the complexity slowly ramps up with each case. The overarching plot and world building is really interesting!! With amount of care put into all the art and the little funny details I'm continuously noticing something new and giggling.

Scarily accurate experience of my actual job.
This took me too long because my observation skills are doodie and the lil hint guy was not being helpful enough lol Can be kind of easy to end up leading yourself astray and get confused. After 25 hours, still dunno how SQL works or how I got to the end, but I did it (lowkey had to look up a video guide a couple times, but i was always on the right track) overall, very good game. I was lowkey very invested in solving these mysteries and made me yearn for more coding-like detective games
It started like a chill breeze and ended as a total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ … and you know what? ... I like it.
Put that I passed chapter 5 on my resume instead of my CS degree and finally landed that assistant entry level junior below minimum wage computer science job. 🙏
Fun for learning SQL. It features clear and engaging explanations in the handbook and has funny crimes to solve with some cool easter eggs.
5/5 Best Dictator, Best Game, No Massacres
Did I know SQL before I played this? No. Do I understand SQL after finishing the game? Not really. Did I enjoy it? Yes. Cute art style, funny humor, a good challenge.
