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 22 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,513 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!

Came for an introduction to SQL. Stayed for the adrenaline.
Amazing game with really creative stories, problems, and artwork. The SQL integration is great and the dev keeps adding more features to make it more usable and helpful.

primeira review que escrevo de um jogo, melhor jogo do ano pra mim. Me prendeu do início ao fim, valeu Thomas Hsu
fun and challenging
The game is really fun and I needed to learn SQL so it kinda helps. One thing that bothers me is that the game doesn't seem to store any of the bookmarks on the web browser nor does it store the history Edit: It seems it does store it, but for some reason it only showed the internet history and bookmarks during the next case
Bon mix entre enquête et puzzle. J'ai bien révisé le SQL
very fun game, nice humor, very difficult
我真的学会了 SQL!……吗? 仿佛回到了大学时期看着幽默的教科书做作业的时刻
Enjoyed this game immensely. A great game to start with if you want to pick up SQL for fun. Love the classic retro-style design and the peculiar cases to be solved. Quality of life features could be added, like autofill perhaps. Just a hassle at times having to type really long texts out. Overall, love the game! Hope to see more variations from the creator.
I haven't had so much fun playing a game in so long. Everything about how it's made is, in my opinion, perfect. I wasn't sure what to expect with playing and for whatever reason had this idea that the cases wouldn't be harder than writing the SQL would be. I was wrong; the cases actually do force you to think really logically about how to write the right queries. In doing so, I found that I was able to retain and remember everything from the manual because of the constant practice using it with the cases and also playing around. I loved all of the manual chapters, they were written so well and were so easy to reference when I got stuck. I use SQL at work sometimes but never really got enough time to really learn how it actually works. While I wouldn't say that I found it super interesting originally, I will say I do now having played this. Off to find some other fun SQL games to play now.
