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!

Reviews
Very simple but nostalgic detective game. I can see the influence of Sierra in the gamplay and humor. I would play this game with a primary school aged kid, if ya got one.
给给游戏,开眼了
非常失望,,,无论是解谜还是卖腐都很失格,,,,,,1.剧情真的很烂,案子又短又无聊,一点背景介绍或者世界观描绘都没有,玩着玩着才发现是变格推理,对话也没啥营养,笑点也很无聊,玩困了好几次;2.线索和解谜之间的逻辑性为零,道具用法完全靠试,一些位置判定也很迷,明明用法对了就是不判定你对;3.超爱卡顿+没有对话日志简直无敌雷霆,每次一卡顿就得狂点鼠标,结果没看清台词就点过去了也没法回看;4.双男主之间没有任何搭档火花,男二在每个案子里起到的作用不如路人,俩人的人物形象也很单薄,嗑点在哪里我真的get不到啊好无助!!!总而言之如果这是免费游戏我玩到第三案就弃游了...

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 2,402 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.

It's so funny and lovingly made. The humor and charm keep reminding me of the LucasArts classics like *Monkey Island*, *Zack & MacCracken*, *Day of the Tentacle*, etc., and there are quite a few references that add to the fun. The puzzles range from easy to moderately difficult. You quickly grow fond of the characters, and it's just fun to explore Twin Lakes with Detective McQueen.
故事一般,cp也没那么好吃
That's a really funny game for few hours. The story is simple and fun, there is a lot of gags. The pixel art is good for the ambiant (some people find it really simple but it's according of the story) there is really nice musics ambiants. Juste fex moments at the end of the story where mysteries are really strange to solve or a little bit random (the protein's milkshake on the last case) but at least it's a really good game. Well only disappointment : the price. Really expensive for that kind of game. Just wait for promotion.
Fun style and comedy. Puzzles were generally enjoyable
像素风喜欢 人物塑造挺有意思 风格十分幽默(我非常中意) 兄弟的心,暖!! 唯一缺点是有时候对话会卡卡(?是汉化原因吗(?(但不管怎么说我手残党解密党有福了(喜
可以
A charming retro point-and-click game with witty and self aware humor.
