Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Art of Murder - The Secret Files
I went in expecting a straightforward whodunit, and Art of Murder delivers exactly that: you're playing as Nicole Bonnet, piecing together clues around a murdered agent and a kidnapped DEA professor. The puzzle logic is sound, inventory-based item hunts and environmental observation that actually require attention, and the core mystery doesn't insult your intelligence. The problem is execution. Dialogue feels stiff, character interactions lack warmth, and the production budget shows everywhere: voice acting ranges from passable to rough, and the interface is functional but dated. This is a game for players who value puzzle-solving over presentation, who grew up with early 2000s adventure game standards and don't need Hollywood polish to enjoy a mystery. If you're hunting for a quick detective story with zero pretension, it works. If you need decent voice acting or modern UI polish, skip it.
