The Darkside Detective

The first 6 cases are fun. They are short but the difficulty is decent given the length. The writing is pretty funny (there are almost too many jokes). The bonus episodes are marvelous. The first one is probably one of the most heart-warming games I've ever played. The second one is very short but also affecting. The last one is wonderfully zany. I'm really looking forward to Season 2.

I will say I'm glad I got this on sale. It's amusing enough, but could benefit from some better writing. The creator leans HARD on using "..." for paused for comedic effect, and that wears thin pretty quickly. A few fun callbacks and shout outs to nerd pop culture over the years that could have been played up more as solutions to to puzzles and that sort of thing. As it is, locations and items are pretty limited so solutions to puzzles are usually pretty evident. Not a lot of animation. So, it's fine. Don't pay full price.

Really fun and funny game, enjoy it a lot. Well worth the price of a cinema ticket. Can't wait to spend more time with Dooley and McQueen!

Allegedly it's not for everyone. It's very minimalistic, but everything that is there is brilliant (lack of voice-over is a bummer though). Humor got me many times, hardcore pixelated and scanlined artwork is gorgeous, music is perfect. Time well spent.

This game has great pixel art, music, and sound effects, really funny dialogue, and fun cases to solve - but alas the puzzles are a wee bit too easy. Otherwise this would have been 5/5 for me. Still highly recommended and a must buy for the sequel.
