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!

Been looking for games like this that introduce programming/technology concepts since I played "The Farmer Was Replaced". If you have any interest in learning sql this is a very worthwile game. It doesn't hold your hand in a good way. letting you make mistakes and go back and correct them. even though I haven't played through the entire game yet each case has felt unique.
Puzzle games aren't my usual fare but I loved this one. The level of difficulty felt just right. Later cases are somewhat challenging but I tended to make steady progress without getting stuck or backtracking much. Even if you do get stuck the little moleman assistant in the corner appears to be surprisingly good at giving just the right hints depending on what you're working on when asked. Just be aware that while SQL plays an important role, much of your time (depending on your SQL skills quite possibly most of it) will be spent scrounging funky 90s style websites for clues. That's mostly fun, too, though a few usability improvements (alt-tabbing, more keyboard shortcuts, browser favorites, ...) would have been nice.

Been such a pleasure playing this game. I love the art and whole experience. I never used sql before so its nice to learn. Good game to put your brain in work!
GOATED
i have never used sql before but the puzzles are so fun and crazy. finishing the game felt very rewarding. navigating sql was definitely harder than figuring out the path to solving the case. would recommend if you know sql or if tortuously navigating 10000000 tables and browser tabs is fun and rewarding to you (this one is me)
방대한 양의 데이터를 SQL 쿼리문을 통해 추려내는 방식으로 수사망을 좁혀 범인을 찾아내는 추리퍼즐 게임입니다 SQL을 다뤄본 적이 없는 입장에서는 굉장히 재미있었음 상당히 많은 양의 텍스트를 읽어가면서 사건의 전말을 파악하고 데이터를 찾아와야 하므로 한글패치가 나오기 전엔 영어의 압박이 좀 클 듯함
Finally played the whole game 10/10 Truly hope for a DLC in the future, had a lot of fun playing this!! frogs4eva
いいゲームやね 必要な情報を推理してSQLで探すプロセスが妙に現実感あってGOOD カジュアルな英語で超大事なこと伝えてくるので、そこそこ英語力ないと何も進められないとは思う ネタも拾えなそう
Pretty fun! If u suck at SQL, this game could also act as like a learning exercise
Muy muy bien montado, la curva de dificultad es lenta pero no tiene pausa y sabiendo sql ha sido muy entretenido, por 10 euros muy buen juego
