Point-And-Click Mystery Game The Darkside Detective Is Now Out, Along With Its Sequel A Fumble in the Dark

Akupara Games has recently released a flurry of titles. Following their deck-building game, Zoeti, comes The Darkside Detective, a quirky puzzle adventure, along with its sequel, The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark (both available now!).

Delving into the Darkside

The game unfolds on a misty, ominous night in Twin Lakes, a city where the strange and supernatural are everyday occurrences. Players control Detective Francis McQueen and his endearingly inept partner, Officer Patrick Dooley, as they navigate the underfunded Darkside Division of the Twin Lakes Police Department.

Nine captivating cases await, each a bite-sized mystery brimming with humor and bizarre scenarios. Expect time travel, monstrous tentacles, carnival secrets, and even mafia zombies! See the action for yourself in the trailer below:

The Darkside Detective is a loving tribute to pop culture, referencing classic horror films, sci-fi shows, and buddy cop movies. The cases themselves boast intriguing titles, including "Malice in Wonderland," "Tome Alone," "Disorient Express," and more. The game's humor is cleverly woven into every pixel.

Download The Darkside Detective from the Google Play Store for $6.99. A Fumble in the Dark can be enjoyed independently of the prequel, also available on Google Play.
