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!

Gibt einem ungefähr 5-6 Stunden Spaß mit Daten, insgesamt eine sehr angenehme und entschleunigte Puzzle-Erfahrung, die einsteigerfreundlich am Anfang, aber nach hintern heraus durchaus fordernd wird
This is just my job. Why am I playing a game that is just my job? 11/10

This is an educational/detective game where you use SQL (yeah, the markup language) to figure out very serious cases, like grouting out who put pineapple on pizza. The game actually does a good job on teaching the concepts, enables you to create more tables based on a query (very important for the latter cases) and has a great code highlighting, so yes, it is unironically a great place to improve you SQL skill and have some fun with it. However, the game isn't just programming, you first have to figure out what must be done, and here comes the detective part. It is very fun t put everything together, and the later cases feel very good to solve. I've played the demo previously, so my playtime isn't that accurate, but the cases get pretty hard without being too obscure. I find the difficulty well balanced. Now, the game could become boring if it was just some SQL lessons with a typical detective background. The game is really funny because the cases are very ridiculous and even mundane, while the boss VA speaks as if the criminal was literally the worst human ever, which is hilarious. The old windows aesthetic is very cool and cute, I love that. The game is so whimsical while believing it is doing serious work, a humor that actually worked really well for me. Overall a great and well-made game. If you find the premise remotely interesting, you will probably love this game.
Adorable puzzle game
Not only a great little coding game, but a genuinely fun detective game too.
Played for 11hrs straight, I am now experiencing neuron overcapacitation Early cases is pretty straight forward, the further you go the more you have to use your noggin' to piece together multiple pieces of information. I'm calling it quits at case 8 as I think I may have actually fried my brain relearning sql + doing detective work at the same time It's fun and it gets quite challenging. Hints are quite helpful and not directly give you the answer. Some minor gripes like the web browser being tedious to use with no book marking/last web page used. Pro Tip, use the notepad, it persists through level resets.
This game is great for analytical thinking, especially for those who are learning Data Science and SQL.
seru parah.!! it's just a simple game. but, really addictive.! you can learn SQL, compare a lot of data, and tracking the suspect from many website is absolutely fun than i can imagine. P.S i play this game with my friend. and is better cuz we can share some thought and discuss the data. i recommend for anyone who will to be data analyst.
Cant recommend this game enough, you're an sql master? try it, perhaps you dont know absolutely anything about sql and data processing(?) TRY IT, think it through and feels ur brain burning because its quite possibly one of the best puzzle game that ive tried this year. As someone that doesnt understand the slightest of SQL, putting it on top of a puzzle game is genuinely a nightmare, but its so satisfaying when suddenly the query u put just shows u the culprit, nothing beats the feeling.
Absolutely brilliant game. It's genuinely a challenging puzzle game. I have SQL experience already, but I really enjoyed reading the concept descriptions in the manual. The game is really quirky, and cute, and a satisfying challenge. I love the art style and aesthetics. I'm totally obsessed, this has gotta be one of my all time favorites games.
