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! Feature List • 9 paranormal bite-sized micro cases to investigate around Twin Lakes City, including a Christmas Spectacular Special • At least three jokes • Cutting edge, high definition pixels • One free curse-removal, up to and including mid-level witch hexes • Music from Ben Prunty, the audiomancer behind gems such as Into the Breach, Subnautica, and FTL}

I’ve played a lot of point and click and this was one of the most enjoyable games in a long time. Was genuinely sad when the cases were complete! Great original storyline, quirky characters, throwback pixelated design, just hard enough gameplay and even the witty/funny/cheesy jokes! Kind of dark but wholesome at the same time? Great value for money with much longer gameplay time than I expected. Highly recommend. Awesome job team can’t wait for the 3rd instalment.

Ayant grandi avec les points & clicks, j’adore ce genre de jeu et celui-ci est vraiment génial. Simple et efficace. De quoi passer un bon moment. Une fois terminé je prendrai le numéro 2.

Recommend it to all my friends. The jokes at great and there’s so many easter eggs to find on my next play through!

I was really enjoying this game until I reached level 5 and was midway through. I saved my progress, but when I opened the app again, I found that I was only able to access the first two 'files'—all my progress was lost

Unusable on iPad 13 inch display, can’t believe the 5 star reviews, it’s rubbish. Tried all graphics settings just rubbish. Can’t believe I paid good money for this. How do I get my money back.

…then you’ll love this retro adventure game that reminded me of the best parts of playing King’s Quest and Space Quest back in the day, in a fun detective noir meets weird fiction. It was a fun play through with the right kind of challenging puzzle solving game play, and well worth the price.

Easy to navigate. Not overly complicated. Retro point & click. Harkens back to the old school ‘Cop Story’ on PC. A must have for any aficionado of classic P&C games. Highly recommend. Worth the cost. The sarcasm, wit, & intelligence that went into the game did not go unnoticed. Kudos across the board. Will easily pursue any future endeavors from this developer.
