Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Sep 4 → 0.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Delouse your room with sage and pack up your travel-sized ouija board, it’s time to re-enter Twin Lakes - America’s 34th most haunted city. Join Detective McQueen as he puzzles his way through 9 chilling cases, risking life and pixelated limb to solve the macabre mysteries that plague the poor town.
Twin Lakes is a cursed city. Less cursed than say, “Demons are tearing it apart” but more cursed than “always loses its keys” or “often steps in puddles”. It’s roughly in the middle of the cursed scale, is what we’re trying to say.
Cursed enough that it’s a nuisance. Cursed enough that somebody has to deal with it…
That’s where The Darkside Detective comes in. Whenever you hear a bump in the night, feel a tingle up your spine, or smell something fishy, Detective Francis McQueen isn’t far behind.
No, he doesn’t smell of fish - it’s a phrase, come on...
Picking up after the events of The Darkside Detective, McQueen has to save his usually-present (in body, if not mind) sidekick Officer Dooley from the Darkside, so the two can get back to what they do best - investigating the city’s many strange, often paranormal, always paradoxical goings-on.
Join them in this frighteningly funny point-and-click adventure as they investigate nine more standalone cases bringing them to a carnival, the local retirement home, an amateur wrestling circuit and even as far away as Ireland as they do what they can to keep the Darkside at bay.

https://sesl0ver.dev/patches/the-darkside-detective-2 전작에 이어 한국어 패치를 제작하였습니다. 저처럼 언어 문제로 플레이를 미뤄두셨던 분들께 좋은 선물이되었으면 합니다.
书接上回,这个系列一直像是爱尔兰人观看九十年代美国电视文化和流行文化的一扇窗口,而这一部的篇幅更充盈,故事展开的程度和角度都逐渐映出了秩序的贫瘠,故事桥段依旧有乐趣。还可以引申出一点讨论,现代科技和后现代的情感模式遭遇生命难题之后,被理性社会驱逐到边缘的古典主义或宗教是否会重新降临?
- 개그가 전작에 비해 약간 약해진 거 같긴 하지만 그럼에도 불구하고 다른 개그 게임들에 비교하면 상위권. - 전작과의 연관성 : 전작도 단편 에피소드 모음집, 이것도 단편 에피소드 모음집이긴 한데 전작의 인물들도 많이 나오고 전작의 행동 비꼬는 게 있으므로 전작하고 오면 좋긴 함. - 한글패치 퀄리티 좋음.

番外比正片更有趣
第二部比第一部难度大很多,而且由于解谜思路的引导一直都不是很清楚,所以卡关情况较第一部来讲要多得多 但是小情侣依旧很甜,第三部你们去领证好吗都快奔四了你俩。 祝99❤
Enjoyable sequel up to a point as I did begin to tire of the format, if you must have more of the first then you’ll enjoy it.
梗很多,对话幽默,但解谜的逻辑性太差
detective yaoi. but fr actually peak, dooley and mcqueen's bromance is amazing
[h1]🔦 The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark: Casos paranormales y carcajadas pixeladas ★★★★☆ (8.5/10)[/h1] [i]Una segunda temporada que mantiene intacto el carisma y el humor absurdo de la original. Una aventura gráfica de la vieja escuela donde lo sobrenatural se enfrenta a la ineptitud policial con resultados hilarantes.[/i] [h3]🎮 Jugabilidad[/h3] El [b]bucle de juego[/b] no busca reinventar la rueda del género "point-and-click", sino perfeccionar su ejecución. Acompañando al detective McQueen y al inefable agente Dooley, nos enfrentamos a seis nuevos casos episódicos. Las mecánicas se basan en la exploración estática de escenarios, diálogos cargados de referencias a la cultura pop y la resolución de puzles mediante la clásica combinación de objetos en el inventario. La lógica de los rompecabezas es disparatada pero internamente coherente con el universo del juego, evitando el temido "pixel hunting" o combinaciones absurdas que lastraban a los clásicos de los 90. [h3]🖥️ Experiencia de Usuario[/h3] La interfaz es un ejemplo de limpieza y accesibilidad. Todo se controla con el ratón de forma sumamente intuitiva, con un inventario siempre visible pero no intrusivo en la parte inferior. A nivel de [b]QoL[/b] (Calidad de Vida), la estructura episódica es un gran acierto, permitiendo jugar cada caso como si fuera un capítulo de una serie de televisión, lo que facilita sesiones de juego cortas y un ritmo de progresión excelente. [h3]🎨 Apartado Técnico/Visual[/h3] Visualmente es un triunfo del [b]pixel art de baja resolución[/b]. El estudio logra dotar de una expresividad increíble a personajes que literalmente no tienen rostro. La iluminación ha recibido sutiles mejoras respecto a la primera entrega, pero la verdadera estrella técnica es la [b]espectacular banda sonora synthwave[/b] a cargo de Thomas O'Boyle, que envuelve a la perfección esa atmósfera que mezcla "Expediente X" con la comedia más absurda. [h3]🏆 Desafío y Logros[/h3] El desafío principal de la aventura es puramente deductivo y narrativo. Alcanzar el [b]100% de los logros[/b] es una tarea muy entretenida que fomenta el [b]backtracking[/b] conversacional, ya que la gran mayoría de los trofeos están vinculados a agotar opciones de diálogo específicas, interactuar con elementos aparentemente inútiles del escenario o presenciar los gags opcionales de Dooley. [h3]⏱️ Análisis de Tiempo (HLTB)[/h3] [list] [*] ⏳ [b]Historia Principal:[/b] 7 Horas [*] 📖 [b]Historia + Diálogos opcionales:[/b] 8.5 Horas [*] 💯 [b]Completacionista (100%):[/b] 10 Horas [/list] [table] [tr] [th]🟢 Lo mejor[/th] [th]🔴 A mejorar[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td]✔️ El guion y los diálogos son brillante y genuinamente divertidos.[/td] [td]❌ Mecánicamente es idéntico al primero, con nula innovación jugable.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]✔️ Banda sonora synthwave excepcional y muy inmersiva.[/td] [td]❌ Algunos puzles del tramo final pueden sentirse algo repetitivos.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]✔️ Estructura episódica ideal para sesiones de juego ligeras.[/td] [td]⚠️ [b]Nota:[/b] Es imprescindible haber jugado a la primera parte para entender el lore y los chistes.[/td] [/tr] [/table]
