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!

the genre of adventure game is not just about puzzles and inventory and pixel hunting. Well, it's all those things yes but there is specific tonal history to the genre that was formed by the early work of Infocom followed by Seirra and Lucasarts. There is a whimsy invovled that is hard to put your finger on. Some may disagree but I think Darkside Detective manages a taste of that whimsy. And for that I highly recommend it.
this is a really good graphic adventure with a lo-fi graphic vibe. It's good good music, good animation and characters. Logical puzzles and fun sequences.
There are a lot of clever touches. Occasionally the dialogue is confusing, as an adventure set in America, they sometimes use British slang, at other times the dialogue is very American, aside from that minor quibble and it is a quibble, this game is very well made and a lot of fun to play.
