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.

第二部复杂了太多...很多get不到只能看攻略。全成就也比较难
很好玩,但是需要对电波,不然就会觉得无聊。
第二部比起第一部每个章节需要的线索更多,关联更繁琐以及节奏更长,除了物品提示以外还有一些物品的结合依然延续前作的想象(可能需要穷举),不变的冷幽默不变的美式喜剧故事依然是作品的看点,喜欢。以及灵魂伴侣搭档的关系描写更上一步了,可爱,喜欢。期待第三部的展开

Both 2nd and 1st game are great, entertaining and filled with jokes and puns. The games are dialogue ridden and sometimes it feels slow, but I believe that it is enjoyable and you will get around 6 hours of medium-paced gameplay in average. So rest assured, I can recommend. Gameplay: 3/5 - Dialogue-heavy, not a bad thing if you ask me, but many will find it bleak or without action. Design/artstyle: 5/5 - love the style that brings such atmosphere. Replayability: 1/5 - Kind of "once in a lifetime" experience. Dialogues/story: 5/5 - Loved it all, would recommend. Total: 14/20 - 3,5/5 - Good game and the story is linear with both of the games.
给,我看完了
优点还是上一作的优点,缺点也是。简中本地化甚至没能和上一作的人名翻译对应上,有的NPC名字都变了,而且在翻译里化用简中互联网时下热门金句的缺点很明显:过一两年就显得极为老土;甚至在台词里夹杂了几句川渝方言……很多原文幽默的表述无法get到很遗憾啊。像素点击解谜有时很难看到可交互物品、跟不上解谜脑洞思路逻辑问题仍旧。但是风趣的剧情发展还是那么有魅力。麦奎因杜利卖好大,你俩跟实际结婚了区别只在于没有同居吧:)
it's healing... no disgusting plots, no pressure, feel love
[i]The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark[/i] unravels intricate mysteries while retaining the witty humour and charming pixel art of the original.
There are 9 cases and some bonus cases to play. There is a quirky sense of humor, and will make you laugh. It helps to play the first game first, but you don't have to in order to enjoy this game.
Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark is even better than the first game - hilarious, whacky, and full of loveable characters and endless gags etc. Loved all the callbacks, too. God, this game series is so good. My favourite point and click stories of all time, I recommend with all my heart.
