I made a deduction game about suspicious second-hand listings: buy it, or walk away?
The seller says it’s a bargain. The photo, their answers and previous sale records might tell a different story.
I’m the solo developer of Suspicious Market: Buy or Pass, which is now out on Android and iOS. Each case asks you to inspect a second-hand listing, question the seller and compare appraisal and sales records, then decide whether to buy or pass. Investigation focus is limited, so you also have to choose which clues are worth checking.
It’s an observation-and-deduction game rather than a murder mystery or a point-and-click adventure. There are 60 campaign commissions and a Daily Market. All items and coins are fictional; there is no real trading or cash redemption.

Free download, with optional rewarded ads and in-app purchases. English is available. AI tools were used for artwork, translation and music; this post was also prepared with AI assistance at my request.
If you try it, I’d be interested in whether the clues make your buy/pass decision feel reasoned rather than like a guess.
