Akupara Games has been dropping a lot of games lately. We covered their recent release of Zoeti, a deck-builder and now it’s The Darkside Detective, a puzzle game. By the way, they’ve dropped its sequel The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark as well (yes, both games together!).What’s The Scene In The Darkside Detective?The game starts with a dreary, fog-filled night in the city of Twin Lakes. It’s a town where the strange, spooky and downright absurd are just part of the daily grind. The main characters are Detective Francis McQueen and his partner, the always-lovable but occasionally clueless Officer Patrick Dooley.Together, they make up the Darkside Division, the criminally underfunded branch of the Twin Lakes Police Department. You’ll be solving nine bite-sized cases with them while diving into the hilarious and bizarre world of The Darkside Detective and its equally witty sequel, A Fumble in the Dark.In these point-and-click adventures, you’ll find yourself tackling everything. From time-travelling conundrums and flesh-hungry tentacles to unravelling the secrets of a carnival and mafia zombies. Take a look at the trailer The Darkside Detective below to see for yourself!
Will You Test The Games?The game is a tribute to pop culture, with allusions to classic horror films, sci-fi series and buddy cop movies. The cases have quite intriguing names, like Malice in Wonderland, Tome Alone, Disorient Express, Police Farce, Don of the Dead, Buy Hard and Baits Motel.
