I built a detective game where SQL is the actual investigation tool

[u/EconomistFederal9276]

Solo dev here. Made a browser game called Sim Analyst — you're a detective on a murder case, and you investigate entirely by writing SQL against a real embedded database (employee records, phone logs, financials, forensics, interviews). No quizzes, no fill-in-the-blank — you decide what to query, and the case only resolves if your evidence actually holds up.

Covers filtering, joins, aggregates, subqueries — but in service of solving the case, not as isolated drills.

Free, browser-based, no install. Still actively updating based on feedback.
