The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark

This adventure features nine unique cases that utilize both pointing and clicking technology. The soundtrack is provided by Thomas O'Boyle, a composer who is confirmed to be among the living. The graphics boast photo-realistic pixel rendering, though that depends heavily on your definition of the term. A brief recap of the previous game is included for those who missed the first installment. Twin Lakes is a city with a moderate curse, more severe than constantly losing keys but less severe than a demonic apocalypse. It is cursed enough to be a real nuisance, requiring the intervention of The Darkside Detective. When strange things go bump in the night, Detective Francis McQueen is on the case. Following the events of the original game, McQueen must rescue his partner Officer Dooley from the Darkside so they can return to investigating the city's paradoxical paranormal activities. The duo visits a carnival, a retirement home, a wrestling circuit, and even Ireland across nine standalone cases, all delivered with a frighteningly funny tone.
