About The Darkside Detective
Join Detective McQueen and Officer Dooley as they investigate the supernatural crimes plaguing Twin Lakes in this point-and-click adventure, from flesh-hungry tentacles to zombie mobsters and everything hilariously bizarre in between. Solve witty puzzles by exploring creepy locations and uncovering clues in this award-winning comedic mystery series that doesn't take itself too seriously.
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!

One of the best comedy point and click adventures. The story and puzzles are also great.1 found this helpful
4/5 i enjoyed the game. The dialog is fun with a lot of dead pan humor; there is actually a lot more story than I expected. It was a pleasant surprise considering this is a point and click puzzle game. I like the back and forth McQueen and Dooley have they feel like friends and not just main character and annoying side kick. The side characters that you meet through out the cases feel like they fit in this world, and are entertaining in a way where you wanna hear everything they have to say. Rather than just skipping to get info for the case. Much appreciation for game the not trying to make me laugh every time. For the puzzle solving aspect of the game it did get a little difficult, because in order to progress for certain sections of the game you have to combine the items you have. And I'm probably just not creative, but some combinations feel like it has no correlation to the problem I'm trying to solve. Other than that I liked the game. I look forward to playing 2.1 found this helpful
Just not my kind of "pixelated" game. I don't like when sprites and the screen scrolls with parts of a single pixel, feels unauthentic and fake every time. I had a terrible time. Still beat it because someone told me the second game is good. Maybe just go straight to 2 then.
i expected to be a little more serious but grew fond of this super natural and hard to predict cases
Super fun
Strange cases unfold Ghosts grin behind every clue Mystery winks back
