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): 0.57/day in the week to Aug 10 → 0.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.

More methods but Canadian, But joking aside , It is a prequel story to the First methods game same great art, music ,story ,puzzles and characters you'd expect from a LockedOn games. i kind of forgot/ kind of remembered that ending for this was already set.so even in the last chapter as I playing is was still hoping again hope that is would end different . I was super invested and played almost non stop, and was on my edge of my seat at the end it really is that good!. this was originally early access but I basically treated it like a Kickstarter .I bought played for a like a second ,then waited till is full released before I started playing for real. there are lots of extras to unlock including insight into the making of the game which was interesting to read.
作为前传补全了拉里卡和队友们的故事,即使知道最终的结局依旧能够游玩得很尽兴。 推理部分比上一作更加精彩,只是可惜最后一案比起前几案稍显平淡,但考虑到受正传限制也让人能够接受。 游玩时可以明显感受得到作者各方面都进步了很多,非常愉快的游戏体验,期待作者创作出更好的游戏作品。 以及游玩时无意中发现按下v键会开启朗读模式,似乎是游戏引擎自带的无障碍功能,如果有帮助就太好了

比乌的探案法在游戏玩法上有点太弱智了,居然要没提示全图用鼠标扫一遍,或者不要使用太接近现实的图而是处理一下搞点暗示很大的卡通画也行,或者再退一步搞点小图+大提示少移来移去吧。 证据和案子对不上电波就算个人风格吧……我觉得有些很难猜到纯靠角色去推我选,这方面不做评价了毕竟我是寻物点击解谜智商。最后一案明明拉里卡已经注意到公寓受害人的异状了结果后来的辩论忽视了(好吧就算这是拉里卡推理太快一直有的缺点)但是我看到她说“没想到会有人自己暴露罪行”的时候还是觉得她输得太蠢了!!!! 最后,探案法的立绘其实我不太记得了但是这作因为胸比较大的女性出场很多我又是等完结后集中打完的,胸部那个猎奇阴影画法有点太离谱了…… 比较好玩的地方是队内交际,这块要比我玩完前作还有一堆完全不熟的人要好多了。
超究极群像剧,现在加入我们点点鼠标大赛,品味丰富多彩的多边形矢量图女同伴同事们!
所有人,立刻打开电脑游玩探案法:加拿大档案!
谜题不错,美术、群像、音乐、叙事手法都太强了 等了两年才等到完整版 期待下一部
什么时候!!!续作!!
好玩,跟侦探大赛比推理性和可玩行更强了,每一案对五位侦探进行了不同的角色塑造,每个角色都有亮点,剧情推理和角色塑造都不错的推理解密游戏,推荐!
好玩!
虽然很多人说第六案不好,但对我而言人物塑造和逻辑都足够合理,而且氛围很不错。非常棒啊支持这个探案法
