About the Game

Put on your trench coat, adjust your sixth sense, and become a member of the Darkside Division to delve into the outright odd, the perilous, and the puzzling affairs of Twin Lakes. Be it ravenous tentacles, undead mafia members, or a lost sock, The Darkside Detective is ready for the challenge.

Wherever cultists slither, where demons inhabit, and where the occult... occults? *ahem* That is the domain of Detective Francis McQueen, the head investigator of the severely underfunded Darkside Division. When evil casts a shadow over Twin Lakes City – or even if it's just hanging around shops or lurking in dimly lit backstreets – he is present, prepared to tackle the mysteries that others refuse to touch.

He is The Darkside Detective.

This collection includes the COMPLETE SEASON ONE of the multi-award-winning humorous serial adventure. Join Detective McQueen and his partner, Officer Patrick Dooley, as they examine the issues disturbing Twin Lakes and its vibrant inhabitants. Interact with objects, navigate through strange and ominous settings, and use your brain (or a friend's) to close these cases!
