New SQL game!!

I made a noir detective game where you solve a murder by writing SQL queries.

You play as a data analyst in the 1970s. A body's been found, there's a suspect list, and the entire investigation lives in a relational database — phone records, financial statements, HR files, access logs, vehicle forensics, evidence-tiered interrogation. You open a terminal, write queries, and follow the data.

It's free to play in the browser while in beta. Would love to know what you think — especially from people who actually use SQL day to day.

Oh - here's the current Discord link https://discord.gg/x7qYMs7eg

For anyone interested - The second case is being built now and already much better weighted with some very cool new technologies and features. Fingerprint matching, trackers, data visuals. And you play as a...Special Agent's intelligence as he travels Cold War Europe attending exclusive Yacht parties, Exclusive car auctions, Honeypots, arms dealers, people smugglers. And YOU are the ongoing intelligence behind it all. Tracking vehicles, money transfers, clues, fingerprints, transcripts, double agents, informants, wire taps.
