The Darkside Detective
Description
Save 10% when purchasing The Darkside Detective and The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark together! This discount does not stack with the other offers available in the store.
Grab your trench coat, tune your sixth sense and join the Darkside Division as they investigate the outright bizarre, the downright dangerous and the confusing cases of Twin Lakes. Flesh-hungry tentacles, mafian zombies, and the occasional missing sock are no match for The Darkside Detective.
Where cultists crawl, where demons dwell, where the occult… occults? *ahem* That's where you’ll find Detective Francis McQueen, the lead investigator of the criminally underfunded Darkside Division. When evil darkens the doorsteps of Twin Lakes City – hell, even when it just loiters around shop fronts or hangs out in shady alleyways – he’s there, ready to investigate the cases that nobody else will.
He is The Darkside Detective.
The COMPLETE SEASON ONE collection of this multi award-winning comedic serial adventure sees Detective McQueen and his sidekick, Officer Patrick Dooley, investigating cases plaguing Twin Lakes and its colorful citizens. Point at everything in sight, click around mysterious and eerie locations, and use your wits (or borrow a friend’s) to lay these cases to rest!
Feature List
- 9 paranormal bite-sized micro cases to investigate around Twin Lakes City, including a Christmas Spectacular Special
- At least three jokes
- Cutting edge, high definition pixels
- One free curse-removal, up to and including mid-level witch hexes
- Music from Ben Prunty, the audiomancer behind gems such as Into the Breach, Subnautica, and FTL.

9/10
All of the components – the humour, the horror, the puzzles, and the characters – of The Darkside Detective add up to create one of the most entertaining and rewarding point and click games I've ever played.

7/10
Darkside Detective is a quirky, sometimes overly so, adventure game with simple but enjoyable puzzles that's over before you know it.

7/10
A smart series of puzzling occult cases, The Darkside Detective has a very distinct sense of humour that you'll either love or hate.

Competent if pedestrian.
It's fine, though not good. I've only done the first couple of investigations, but they weren't inspiring enough to encourage me to do more. I'll probably get around to it eventually, but I'm glad it has such a small install size (comparatively) and that I got it at a discounted price.

Fun jokes, pixel graphics. Easy game.
Most of the puzzles are easy, enough of the jokes are fun. You will get through this game pretty fast, but you will have fun time while it lasts :-)

Looks nice but humour is pure ham.
