Akupara Games has been busy lately! Following their recent release of the deck-building game Zoeti, they've now brought us The Darkside Detective, a quirky puzzle game, and its sequel, The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark—both available at once!
What's the Scene in *The Darkside Detective*?
The game opens on a misty, mysterious night in Twin Lakes, a town where the strange and supernatural are everyday occurrences. Meet Detective Francis McQueen and his partner, the endearingly clumsy Officer Patrick Dooley, the underfunded Darkside Division of the Twin Lakes Police Department. Together, you'll solve nine bizarre cases, diving headfirst into the hilarious and offbeat world of The Darkside Detective and its equally witty sequel, A Fumble in the Dark.
These point-and-click adventures are packed with variety: Expect time-traveling puzzles, flesh-hungry tentacles, carnival secrets, and even mafia zombies! See it all in action with the trailer below:
Will You Give These Games a Try?
The Darkside Detective is a love letter to pop culture, brimming with references to classic horror films, sci-fi shows, and buddy cop movies. The cases themselves have wonderfully creative titles, including "Malice in Wonderland," "Tome Alone," "Disorient Express," "Police Farce," "Don of the Dead," "Buy Hard," and "Baits Motel."
The game's humor is infectious, woven into every pixel. If you're intrigued, you can pick up The Darkside Detective on the Google Play Store for $6.99. You can also jump straight into A Fumble in the Dark without playing the prequel—it's available on Google Play as well.
