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 2,419 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!

Very nice game, I really loved it. I wish there was more! Nice humor and a cool retro aesthetic. I went into the game knowing SQL, but still served as a refresher. The first few cases are simple to get you started and the latter ones are quite good puzzles that involves problem solving and making inferences. I would love to get a dlc with some more cases and maybe some more complex sql, like functions, or maybe even a scripting language.
Wow! What a great game! Beautifully polished and well written! Not what I expected from an SQL puzzle game, but it had me giggling, smiling and scratching my head the whole way through! I've done plenty of SQL in my time as a webdev, but this game forced me to use plenty of fun recesses of the language I'd never had to use before. I really loved all the websites and documents, and the voice acting was great (not something I normally enjoy in games) Just finished it, very satisfying! I was worried it would be too short with only 10 chapters, but it felt just right! Maybe I'd be down for a sequel or DLC some day for some more fiendish puzzles as the language still has lots of weirdness to explore.
[h1] FUN WAY TO LEARN SQL[/h1] I actually use SQL in my day to day IRL. This is actually a pretty fun and effective way to learn SQL if you are learning for the first time. Kind of addicting too. Definitely checking out more from this Dev.
Truly excellent. First few levels are a great intro to SQL and what you can do with it, everything past that is a really fun challenge even for SQL experts. Writing is phenomenal, I think I saw zero wasted text, either very useful info for the puzzles or very funny flavor. Later levels feel a lot like Hypnospace Outlaw browsing around the early web to dox some guy. I was very rarely completely lost on what to do next. There were a couple of points where I needed to use the hint system, and each time it did a great job of somehow figuring out where I was in the puzzle and gradually hinting at the next step.
I love the narration style, the crime investigation is incredibly good paced, I enjoy every minute of the game. I hope there will be new crimes to investigate or new departments to join over time time through DLC. I'd definitely buy that either.
Amazing, waiting for the sequel about restoring crashed prod DB in 2AM
11/10 would recommend to anyone who either loves puzzle/detective games or SQL
