The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark

Spooky Doorway

The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark is a hilarious adventure game about solving strange mysteries in America’s 34th-most haunted city. 

In this sequel to the original The Darkside Detective, you’ll once again put on the gumshoes of Detective Francis McQueen and team up with his sidekick, Officer Patrick Dooley, as they investigate more mysteries, mostly in the cursed town of Twin Lakes. McQueen is the lead investigator of the police force’s Darkside Division, and it’s his job to root out the darkness that just won’t quit. 

The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark includes six standalone mysteries to solve, set across diverse locations like a carnival, a retirement home, an amateur wrestling circuit, and Ireland. No matter where you’re investigating, your goal is the same: muster the forces of good against the persistent Darkside presence. You’ll point-and-click (or tap) to meet strange characters, solve puzzles, and set things right in the world—at least until the next bizarre paranormal outbreak.
