This game was hilarious! The humor was great and some levels were tricky and I had no clue whatsover to do. I liked doing several cases instead of one long main story, It's been a nice game to play whenever I needed something chill to play. I loved the art! Great game 👏

Um clássico point and click onde as respostas nem sempre são as mais obvias, é um jogo bem engraçado cheio de referencias e quebras de quarta parede que infelizmente não tem em português mas talvez seja muito difícil adaptar as piadas de qualquer jeito.

Hauptfälle gemacht (ohne die 3 Bonusfälle). Viele Anspielungen auf andere Games, Filme, Serien etc. Die Rätsel sind recht einfach, perfekt für Point & Click Anfänger & Leute die nicht gut im rätseln sind. Hat kaum Frustpotenzial.

I played this game for Pay or Play 3rd Cycle of 2024 and it was picked for me by Sword.

 

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.

 

The game follows a list of mysterious cases that are to be solved by the hard-boiled, yet surprisingly humorous Detective Francis McQueen and their lovable partner, Officer Dooley. Each case is it's own contained story, but certain plot threads and characters can be seen in multiple different cases.

 

The Darkside Detective effortlessly blends the spooky aspects with humor, creating a unique and engaging atmosphere that feels like a cozy mix of supernatural spooks and lighthearted buddy cop comedy. The witty dialogue stands out amidst it all, consistently delivering funny lines and puns.

 

The pixel art style is charming and nostalgic, perfectly capturing the essence of classic point-and-click adventure games. The game's design is full of clever details that reward exploration and keen observation, interacting with everything also gives you hilarious commentary from McQueen and Dooley. The puzzles are well-crafted, but on the tad easier side, so you wont get frustrated with them.

 

Overall, the game is a fantastic experience and I think anyone who enjoys these kinds of point-and-click pixel games will love it. The "very positive" rating it has on here is well deserved! Highly recommended
