The Darkside Detective Reviews
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.

Enjoyed the dialogues full of sense of humour. Classic point and click game where you have various cases to solve as a detective. Across funny situations, you have to resolve little puzzles, find, use and combine object, help characters ...

Loved the eerie vibe and the humor. The cases are easy to solve. I can feel that lots of care was put into the game. Kudos!

The dialogue and banter in this is hilarious. Good old LucasArts shenanigans. I dont laugh easy, because I'm dead inside, but some of the stupid jokes in this warranted a few well deserved snorts from the nose. A couple of wee chortles. Loving the bite-sized cases you go on, making it all feel very quick and managable. The riddles are great too. Easy. You get through them without much mental effort. No moon-logic to be found here. So many puns. So much references to old classic games and movies and books. A good time.

Very low quality dialogue. It's likely on purpose but that doesnt make it better.

[h1] Point-and-Click, Light-hearted Adventure Game [/h1]
Witty and funny dialogues between characters really did keep this game uplifting. Gameplay is a little slow but if you have a little patience and prefer a laid-back, effortless game - this one is for you.

i got this game on sale but i really enjoyed it and believe it's worth the full price. it's hilarious and somehow scratches a nostalgic itch for point-and-click mystery games i never knew i had. i'd recommend it even if games like this aren't normally your jam. i'm so glad there's a sequel that looks good too, can't wait to try it out!

Fun puzzles, nonstop jokes (even in the credits), this is "casual" gaming at its finest.

A fun little point & click game with detective and occult themes. Recommended if you like the old-school point & click games, 7/10

Do you like pixel games?
Or Point and click games?
Or adventure games?
If you answer yes to any of those then this is the game for you. From beginning to end this game just oozes humour and fun throughout. Split over a fair few cases, each are small mini investigates which you can take your time to work your way through them all. The cases are not overly complex but still provide enough of a small challenge wrapped in humour to make this one well worth your while.
