The Darkside Detective

Spooky Doorway

The Darkside Detective is a comedy-filled point-and-click adventure game filled with occultists and bizarre mysteries to solve. 

Set in the mysterious town of Twin Lakes—Population: 75666, Elevation: 13—you play as Detective Francis McQueen. He’s the lead investigator of the Darkside Division, which is tasked with unraveling strange mysteries that only he and his sidekick/partner, Officer Patrick Dooley, can solve. 

As the pixelated pair, you’ll explore a city filled with citizens too oblivious to notice the creepy, crawly, otherworldly beings and events taking over. And it’s set to music from Ben Prunty, who you may have heard in Celeste, Into the Breach, FTL: Faster Than Light, Subnautica, and more. 

So don your trench coat, take to the streets and diners of Twin Lakes, deploy your sixth sense, and tap on everything you see. Just watch out for the sewer-dwelling, flesh-hungry tentacles…and also Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft.
