Latest Steam announcements

  • Update 1.5 - Added Streamer Mode - 23 June 2026

    Some more small additions for the game in time for a hot summer time:ChangesStreamer Mode: Game settings now contain a Streamer Mode setting. It will restrict audio to only play titles, which can be used without issues by content creators - at least in theory.Danny's English localization: Danny is now hoarding diamonds, not horting them anymore.

  • Update 1.4 - More Points for the Clueless! - 7 April 2026

    Another small update, but both topics are big.ChangesEarly guessing is now more rewarding: Guessing early will now guaranteed reward more points than using up the turns and collecting clues. From balancing point I hope this will not encourage players just to spam round 0 guesses for XP farming. Given that win chances are slim and the fun of such a strategy is limited, it should still remain more attractive to try winning the game in a normal way.Steam Sync Issues Fix: Fixed an issue, where the running game would lose the connection to Steam (and thus not sync stats and achievements etc. anymore). I hope this is the last time this game had issues with Steam and it's achievements.

  • Game Is Too Easy? Too Difficult? The Choice is Yours! - 6 April 2026

    Some think, it's too easy, some think it's too difficult - there is a solution for all of you!The first maps and suspect sets are naturally a bit easier to allow understanding the core game mechanics and getting into the game. Clues are placed closer to the player and winning the game should be easier early on...... still: it is a game where you need to find clues, compare it against the suspects, their pictures, their background stories. Sometimes you had unlucky dice rolls, sometimes you did not find enough (useful) clues, sometimes the (too few found) clues were not conclusive. You can and will fail, it is part of the game. Same as you cannot win 100% of Slay the Spire or Poker runs.And then there are new, larger maps and larger suspect sets that you will unlock while you gain XP and level up. Each will have new challenges. Ultimately, you can choose the maps and suspect sets, which…

  • Demo Update 1.3 - 1 April 2026

    The original demo was released a while ago, around xmas 2025. To make sure, that it reflects the latest state of the game, it was updated accordingly.This means the demo update of course does not add content, but everything else like bug fixes, graphical improvements, performance boosts and... LOCALIZATION!

  • Update 1.3 - FPS Limiter vs VSync - 31 March 2026

    When using VSync, the game will try to match the refresh rate of your display (and ignore the FPS limit). On the contrary, if you set an FPS limit, it will try to sync it to this specific FPS (and ignore VSync).To make sure this is properly communicated, the settings toggles will now act accordingly to reflect this.

  • Update 1.2 - Achievements Update Part 2 - 27 March 2026

    The achievements sync with Steam is tricky for whatever reason, I made yet another approach for more syncs, which will hopefully grant the achievements more reliably during the game, not just after restarts. Fingers crossed...

  • Update 1.1 - Allowing the 6 and Achievements - 24 March 2026

    So much testing, and then it somehow slips through, that can't throw a 6, lol. Anyways, fixed that one and other thingsFixesFix dice rolls to allow throwing a 6Improve Steam server syncs during game and on game exit for better achievement syncsImprove card description box to allow longer texts, relevant for some localizationsMinor card description improvements

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $7.62
  • Highest observed: $7.62

Detective 26's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $7.62, the highest is $7.62, and the first visible tracked price is $7.62. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Detective 26's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $7.62, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $7.62. The latest run records $7.62 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $7.62
  • Current list price: $7.62
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Detective 26 at $7.62 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
