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.

The Darkside Detective is a brilliant blend of classic point-and-click adventure and quirky humor. With its pixel-art aesthetic, witty dialogue, and engaging supernatural mysteries, the game delivers a nostalgic yet fresh experience. Detective McQueen and Officer Dooley’s hilarious dynamic makes every case a joy to solve. The puzzles are clever but never frustrating, and the eerie yet lighthearted atmosphere keeps you hooked. If you love charming detective stories with a supernatural twist, this game is a must-play!

Nice retro point & click. Maybe a little too easy, but I enjoyed the humour.

It was good! The levels were pretty short and kind of the same but the writing was amazing! I was laughing so hard at Dooley's lines

I'd give this a 6/10. Whilst it's lighthearted and funny, I'm not really sure who it's aimed at; the humour is clever and witty, but would probably go over the head of most younger players, however the game-play/puzzle solving difficulty seems to be aimed at 10-year-olds. The game designers need to take some inspiration from the likes of Day Of The Tentacle to see what a good combination of humour and game-play looks like. Whilst I appreciate that this is a retro-style game, there's an awful lot of dialogue to read and click through. Perhaps the addition of some voice actors would help? All that said, if you can get it at a deep discount, it's quite a fun game, and I quite like the 1hr-case format.
