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.

一般吧,好多梗看不懂,而且翻译味很重,get不到美式幽默
Dark laughs echo loud Odd clues hide in stranger worlds Partners crack the void
It was so much fun. And the cases feel longer than the first game. I also enjoyed the ending to this game and the bonuses. Loved the jokes, the puns, the cameos. It's a great gem of a game!

I bought this sequel immediately after having a great time with the original. And this sequel is precisely what a good sequel should be: Similar enough to the original that there's no learning curve at all for returning gamers, yet with enough new material to keep the sequel from feeling like a mere remake. The mood is the same, as well. Goofy fun, hilarious wordplay, and some kooky settings that had me giggling before a word was spoken. The difficulty level is a tad higher, but only just a tad. The cases are noticeably longer, and there are a few moments of unfun moon-logic and/or CEWEE (Click Everything with Everything Else), but only a few. All in all, Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark is a perfectly worthy sequel that delivers all the fun of the original. If there's ever a third, take my money! Blease!
Good fun!
Another charming excellent entry. At times, it was a lot harder, especially in cases where there were more locations and clues. I really liked the bonus cases, especially the one where different playable characters are the protagonists.
比上一作剧情流畅多了但是线索感觉更多了TT还是很好玩推荐推荐!!!
