Free Steam Detective Game No Results Found Hits Overwhelmingly Positive
A free training-program game that can be completed in a few hours has become one of Steam's highest-rated releases by building its detective loop entirely around in-game browser searches.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Jungle Game Lab, operated by KRAFTON, released the free game 'No Results Found' on August 14 for PC via Steam, with Japanese display support. The adventure game has earned 'Overwhelmingly Positive' status on Steam, with 97% of roughly 1,000 user reviews positive. Players investigate a fictional religion called the Nine-Armed Octopus Cult by performing searches in an in-game browser.
'No Results Found' asks players to solve a mystery by typing words into a search bar on a fictional computer. The case involves the Nine-Armed Octopus Cult, a new religious movement that worshiped a nine-legged octopus and lost all 227 followers when they drowned during a ritual.
All suspects in the incident are dead, so police closed the case. Unsatisfied relatives pushed for a reinvestigation, and the player, a government agency employee, reopens it by combing the cult's official website, databases, and social media as new pages surface.
Jungle Game Lab developed the title as the culmination of its five-month boot camp. The 5th cohort produced 10 free games across action, roguelite, and card genres, with 'No Results Found' drawing the most attention.
