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): 1.86/day in the week to Aug 23 → 3.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

Very well made short detective game. Amazing voice acting and a great UI. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Fun game! Not as good as the sequels (dialogue and art-wise) but it was fun to play this, as it paved the way for Tangled Tower and The Mermaid Mask.

Muuito legalzinho esse jogo, ótimo pra passar um tempo. O jogo é bem simples e realmente uma versão mais "primitiva" do seu sucessor mas que consegue mesmo assim ser uma boa experiência. A história é ok, não tão boa quanto a do tangle tower, e o assassino é bem mais óbvio As mecânicas são basicamente as mesmas do sucessor, muito boas recomendo demais
I remember playing this game as a teen on my phone, and it is still such a hoot to play! I had replayed the flash game online from 2007 before I replayed this as it refreshed me on some of the references mentioned in this one. It is a game I think about every so often since I had first played it and was so happy to find it here! It's definitely on the shorter end of games, so would definitely recommend buying on sale if possible, but I do not think the price is too unfair at all if you take your time with the game. Nonetheless, it is a fun and enticing point n click mystery game. The storyline is intriguing, the characters are fun, and the overall design is enjoyably unique.
Muy bueno. Es corto y no es que tenga una revelación complicadísima al final pero no importa. Los personajes, el diseño, ir descubriendo el lugar y el suceso, las mecánicas, los pequeños puzles aquí y allá...Genial
A good, quick puzzle game and a wonderful introduction to the series! I started with Tangle Tower and wanted to finish this one before moving onto the third game. It sets up the next game nicely and while it isn't very complicated, it's got the same charm as the rest!
Overall just a very well made game ! The puzzles were nothing too complicated but they were fun, all characters were interesting, had cool designs and voice acting was on point, the atmosphere really suited the theme of dark swamp and the overall story and ending were nice too in my opinion. My only complain would be that it got pretty tiring asking every NPC about every single item you collected throughout the game, but other than that, really solid game !
Absolutely delightful. The mystery was fun! The characters were lively and so unique. Well worth the time I put into it. I had so much fun!
It official. I'm obsessed with this series. While it obviously shows it's age compared to the newest game it's still a blast to play. The cast of characters and writing were the best part as expected. Witty and delightful. The soundtrack was flawless. Puzzles were fun but pretty simple this time around. Character designs and setting were still lovingly handcrafted. All in all you can absolutely see the bones of what would be fully fleshed out in the later entries. I will be diving into Tangle Tower asap. Loved it.
