The Darkside Detective

Lacking Depth

I was excited about this game based on the premise: a detective and his quirky sidekick investigate paranormal cases in classic adventure game format. The problem is that this is just a very simple adventure game and deductive reasoning isn't used at any point. Each of the puzzles is simple and all you need to do to finish the game is to make sure and click on everything in every scene. There is never a point in which you try to solve a crime based on information gained during the case. The humor dialogue was funny and the scenes were visually appealing with the pixel art motif. The soundtrack is also well done. Hopefully we will see more from this team, but for now this title's biggest issue is lacking depth.
