About
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!

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
10 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

A humorous little game that is very enjoyable to play. WARNING: This game makes you think logically... and sometimes illogically as well.
剧情很无聊,而且道具的获取时机很奇怪。正常逻辑下,应该是先遇到难题,然后觉得需要某种道具,然后才去拿道具。而不是先拿一堆莫名其妙的道具,后面遇到谜题了正好使用
很有趣的小游戏,剧情轻松愉快,难度也适中,整体感觉像是美国经典阴谋论大汇总。 但又一句话我是非说不可,这俩人当真不是基佬吗
The Darkside Detective is a charming point-and-click adventure that keeps things simple and effective. The pixel graphics are basic but expressive, with plenty of fourth-wall jokes and visual gags. The humour is very PG, mostly slapstick and silly jokes, but it fits the game perfectly. The puzzles follow the same approach: logical, straightforward, and rarely frustrating. You play as the detective in the city’s supernatural investigation division, which, for all intents and purposes, consists of you and your beat-cop partner. Your partner isn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, making for plenty of amusing exchanges as the two investigate the city’s stranger goings-on. The game consists of nine cases, tied together by an overarching story. Beneath all the supernatural weirdness, though, the real story is the friendship between a detective and his beat-cop partner. That relationship gives the game a surprisingly warm core beneath all the silliness. One of the things I particularly enjoyed is how interconnected the cases feel. There are recurring characters, throwbacks to earlier investigations, and plenty of little Easter eggs referencing other cases. Paying attention to those details makes the world feel much more cohesive than you might initially expect from such a simple-looking game. There is a sequel, which I look forward to playing.
Humorous tiny adventures of a small-town supernatural police department made up entirely of a mentally keen but feeble detective and his adorably naive musclehead partner. Episodes are unrelated to each other in terms of narrative, but they are supported by a cast of recurring characters. There is no voice acting; all dialogue is text-only. Scene transitions are instant because characters do not walk. Text skipping takes two left clicks: one to advance running text until end of a segment, the other to advance to next segment; this minimises risk of accidental skips. Right click skips the whole conversation. Crucial text of guiding nature can be read again. Puzzles are built around item combinations, and a few mini-games are also involved. Inventory is always displayed at the top, and all item interaction is done with the left click; press and release to inspect, or drag an item over an interactive spot to use. Inspecting provides excessively suggestive prompts, so difficulty is minimal. Pixels are quite chunky, and characters have no facial features, except for hair which had me confusing their sideburns for eyes in the beginning. Even so, key objects are generally large enough to be identified visually, and a comprehensive textual description will clarify any ambiguities.
[h1] 軽快&愉快な優良ポイント&クリック [/h1] 9月のシリーズ割引キャンペーンで 1&2バンドルをお得に入手できます。 コミカルでコンパクトな作品。 古さも感じられないし、 完成度も良好。 プレイする事件の順番は選択可能で、 最初からボーナス事件もプレイできますが、 キャラクターの再登場があったりするので 元の順番通りにプレイするとより楽しめると思われます。 クスリとさせるパロディと笑いが多めの、 ポップでチルなエンタメトーンの ライトなオカルト世界観。 ネタは多いものの、 しつこくならない程度、滑らない程度に ネタのチョイスと切り上げ所が上手いこと 調整されています。 そこらへんの清潔感とバランス感覚も含めて ストレスのない小気味よいライティングになっています。 意図的にユーザー層に広くささるような、 「ベタ」で知名度高いネタやパロディを 中心にチョイスしているのですが、 上手いこと不意に来るのと、 ネタのアレンジや使い所のセンスがいいので、 悔しいが思いのほか何回も笑わされたのも思い出。 ポイント&クリックの作りはシンプルで ちょいパズルは皆カジュアルオブザカジュアルで やさしい難易度。 UIや操作性にも悪いところなし。 話がコンパクトでありながら ピクセルアートと8ーbit風BGMが 驚きのハイクオリティ。 (サントラ買うしかなかった……) 軽快で愉快なエンタメトーンの中で さくさくスナック感覚で進められます。 正統派ポイント&クリックなので これといってゲーム性はないものの、 全体的には 迷うところや詰みポイントがないように 台詞やフレーバーなどでのヒントが明確で丁寧、 せめて無駄な作業を減らそうとしている 工夫は感じられ、好感度につながりました。 とはいえ ポイント&クリックジャンルに特有な 「いやそこがそうなる (特に順番、方法、組み合わせなど)のは 初見じゃわからんわ」詰みポイントは 個人的に何回もありました。 ポイント&クリックあるあるの範疇ではありますが…… おまけボーナス事件の中に 本編よりポイント&クリックの作業感が相当だるい 進行の箇所があり、本編のサクサク進行と比較すると 「何とかならんかな」感があり、ややマイナスです。 全体的にはプレイしてよかったと思える作品で、 引き続き2作目も楽しんでプレイしていきたいと思います。
