Darkside Detective, the satirical, stylish, and spooky mystery game, is out now on iOS and Android

  • Darkside Detective is a retro, point-and-click mystery game in the style of genre classics
  • A mix of Monkey Island and Tex Dallas, solve mysteries in the town of Twin Lakes
  • Play as Detective McQueen alongside his erstwhile partner Dooley

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for mysteries and a soft spot for retro-styled games, let me tell you, my dear friends, that The Darkside Detective has stolen my heart! This game is like a delightful fusion of Monkey Island’s wit and charm with the gritty edge of Tex Dallas.

If you find your job challenging, consider this: You could be a hard-working, underpaid detective dealing with persistent supernatural crimes in a gloomy city that’s already teeming with ordinary criminality. But if that sounds intriguing instead of daunting, then The Darkside Detective from Spooky Doorway might just be the game for you! Now available on the iOS App Store and Google Play.

In the heart of Twin Lakes, I, Detective McQueen, find myself part of the overlooked Darkside Division. Our team is perpetually short on resources and personnel, yet we’re tasked with probing into the enigmatic, frequently supernatural events that plague this city, which just so happens to harbor a literal mirror image of itself in the realm of the supernatural. It’s my job to uncover the secrets hidden within the shadows of Twin Lakes and beyond.

As a seasoned detective with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that solving cases in Twin Lakes requires more than just my wits and brains – I’ve learned that having a reliable partner like Officer Dooley is crucial to success. The city of Twin Lakes may draw comparisons to shows such as Twin Peaks or the X-Files, but Darkside Detective stands out with its unique blend of inspiration, wrapped up in a lavishly rendered, pixelated package that truly brings the game to life. Having played many detective games myself, I can appreciate the attention to detail and intricate storytelling that makes this game a must-play for any fan of the genre.


On the dark side

You can find The Darkside Detective and its sequel, A Fumble in the Dark, individually on Google Play and the App Store.

Dive in now and get ready to crack those cases, detective!
