The Darkside Detective

Short as all the recent indie adventures, highly pixelated graphics, simple puzzles and many puns, and a known bug to add some taste of old times. Not much depth to the heroes and little to no backstory, but I hope the guys are just warming up to drop a really hot indie paranormal-themed adventure.

This adventure game is split into about six episodes, each of which should take 30-45 minutes to finish. Most of these episodes are fairly straight-forward, with puzzles that quickly give way to intuition and knowledge of adventure game logic. The game's jokes are actually sometimes funny, the writing is quite good, and the graphics have a kind of old-school charm. While this isn't breaking any new ground, I do look forward to a sequel.

Every chapter is diffrently intresting and characters are unusally funny

The pixel art and the retro music are awesomes. But the writting is terrible, jokes aren't funny or mature. It's very easy. You cannot try to immitate Monkey Island while failling on the jokes this bad.

I've actually only played this game for a few minutes, so I can't really comment on the story, but the viewing angles are absolutely horrendous. It's hard to tell from the screenshots, but the view is so zoomed in that it's extremely hard to see anything on the screen, and this forced me to quit the game very early on. I think this comes down to the size of the pixels that the developer used (they are enormous). I'm normally a huge fan of pixel art games, but this is very poorly executed. I would have much preferred to play the game WAY more zoomed out, so I had to leave a bad review for this reason alone.
