Description
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.
-----

Editors’ Notes
Laugh (and groan) at pop-culture references while solving supernatural crimes in this unabashedly silly point-and-click adventure.
Excellent
Really enjoying this game, any game that has Enid Blyton in it is a great game to me😂 such nostalgia vibes I grew up on folk of the faraway tree! Nice stories with some comic moments, typical point and click type puzzles, if I had any suggestions it would be more complex puzzles as it’s a bit simple, but it more than makes up for this with originality, graphics and characters. I will no doubt be purchasing the second in the series after I finish this one.
Edit: I forgot to mention the twin peaks vibes…. always going to be an instant hit with me…loved that series…huge Lynch fan here.
Great nostalgia
Amusing dialogue and some great nostalgic references. Agree the puzzles are simple, but faithful to the point and click genre, with a few laughs breaking the fourth wall. Shall look for the next one for sure.
One small technical niggle was it crashed out after each case is solved and cannot save during a case, I always had to play the whole case in one go. It’s probably my aged iPad! This did not bother me too much and the game is well worth the minor inconvenience.
