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 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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 way to learn SQL!
Even for someone who already knows SQL it's really fun to play! I enjoyed it a lot and really liked how cases became harder over time. It reminds me a lot of Hypnospace (I personally love games like that). I've waited a while for it to realese and had a great time playing it. Would recommend to both newbies and experienced SQL users! :3 11/10

I don't usually leave reviews, but I wanted to for this game. I originally found this game through a SQL subreddit and it has been an absolute blast. For complete noobs, novice, intermediate, advanced, or expert SQL users, this game is playable by all. A built in guide and helper will assist you along the way if you lose your path. This game has quirky fun humor, entertaining stories, and teaches a valuable skill in a fun, gamified way. For the price point, I could not recommend this game more.
It's good, funny and not easy! I got this game to finally start learning SQL and it's been good so far
It's a really great game, especially good if you are learning SQL like I am. It's fun and it shows you new ways to solve problems that, at least, I didn't even know about. I really recommend buying this game. Oh, and please devs, consider translating the game to Latin American Spanish, pleeease! I would really love this game even more if it was in Latin American Spanish and other languages. Thank you for such an amazing and fun game and learning experience <3
I'm a total muppet and it's been a great game to play with my partner.
I've completed up to chapter 8 and I must say this game is really fun. Not only is it great SQL practice it's also really fun and interesting. My only feedback is regarding chapter 7, I found it to be very confusing. I was essentially chasing my own tail confused as to what exactly I needed to be looking for and had to use a guide to figure it out. Other than that, all other levels were very intuitive and took a keen eye and some critical thinking to solve. I'd give this game a 9/10
After playing for a few hours, the SQL is merely the tool to solve the cases, the key is actually hidden elsewhere.. I initially jumped in for some quick and dirty SQL work, but after the first few levels, it actually turns into quite a bit of detective work, reading between the lines, finding the obscure clues and connecting the dots. I have gotten stuck several times due to my lack of imagination and detective skills (skill issue indeed), but that's not a bad thing, makes you put in the brain power to actually solve a puzzle, and there is the hint mole that helps when I'm really stuck. The story is written with humor and satire, which fits perfectly for the theme. Overall I think I appreciate what the dev has created
The flag
fun technical game with good humor, the SQL doesn't get extremely complicated but can be very satisfying
