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 · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 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!

Naja, es ist schon viel SQL, aber eben auch brutal viel Logik! Ein super Detektivspiel! Ich spiele es quasi als "Local-Coop" mit meiner Frau :-)
Very fun investigations!
Really solid game, I have prior experience in SQL and this game was a fun time. Nice polish and character to the game, would recommend to experience individuals and definitely to people who have an interest in learning SQL. The concept works well with teaching newer folks different ways to look at data and gives good practice in thinking through your scenario and what exactly you want your data to show. Hope there is some future content for more complex SQL, but as it stands now the game is smooth and a fun game. Congrats to the solo dev, you've got something really good here.

เกมไล่ระดับความยากโหดมาก ด่าน 1-4 พอไหว อยู่ดีๆด่าน 5 ก็โคตรยาก
Absolutely love it! :)
Do you want to learn SQL is a fun way ? Use requests to solve crimes in a police service. The game is well written, funny and the gamification is so well done you really want to beat the game.
entretenido
Despite being satire, the MCD is still less corrupt than the average US police department. Anyways, both the detective and SQL searching aspects are very well done. While first half of the cases are fairly easy, the difficulty significantly increases in the later half, providing not only a decent place for beginners to start learning SQL, but for those already familiar a solid challenge. The humour and plot for the game is great too.
