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

Akupara Games has been busy lately! Following their recent release of the deck-building game Zoeti, they've now brought us The Darkside Detective, a quirky puzzle game, and its sequel, The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark—both available at once!

What's the Scene in *The Darkside Detective*?

The game opens on a misty, mysterious night in Twin Lakes, a town where the strange and supernatural are everyday occurrences. Meet Detective Francis McQueen and his endearingly clueless partner, Officer Patrick Dooley, the underfunded Darkside Division of the Twin Lakes Police Department. Together, you'll tackle nine bizarre cases, diving headfirst into the hilarious world of The Darkside Detective and its equally witty sequel, A Fumble in the Dark.

These point-and-click adventures offer a wild ride, from time-traveling puzzles and tentacled horrors to carnival secrets and mafia zombies. See it all in action:

Will You Give These Games a Try?

The Darkside Detective is a love letter to pop culture, brimming with references to classic horror films, sci-fi shows, and buddy cop movies. The cases themselves have wonderfully creative titles like "Malice in Wonderland," "Tome Alone," "Disorient Express," "Police Farce," "Don of the Dead," "Buy Hard," and "Baits Motel."

The game's humor is infectious, woven into every pixel. Ready to dive in? Grab The Darkside Detective on the Google Play Store for $6.99. You can also jump straight into A Fumble in the Dark without playing the prequel—it's also available on Google Play.
