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.

谜题较一代更复杂了,不过解开的那一刻非常爽!场景的小细节非常棒,音乐很有沉浸感,总体令人满意。期待下一部会更好!
They've done it again. This one of my favorite point and click adventure games. They somehow improved on the first, which mind you was so gripping it had me concerned about a joke cartoon/pixelated police officer disappearing. More puzzles, just as many puns and perfect humor. I really do like the case approach- one of my biggest issues with point and click adventure games at this point in my life is the time investment but with the darkside detective games I can check out for a little while and crack a smile of the ridiculousness of it all. Absolute gold.

Just more goodness. Keep them coming.
pretty good, but not as good as the first one
双湖城男同真是震撼美味!!
[h1] ギャグセンスが高い充実感ある続編 [/h1] 1作目と続きものの2作目。 シリーズセールの時に1&2で購入するとお得。 ミスマッチがないように念のために言っておきます。 このシリーズのジャンルは クラシカルな [b]「一本道ポイント&クリックアドベンチャー」 [/b]であり 推理パズルや探偵調査系謎解きなどではありません。 前作引き続き エンタメ的に好相性の おふざけ×ライトオカルト世界観を コミカル感満載の良いバランスで実現。 程よいゴテゴテの小ネタと くだらない言葉遊びのセンスが 引き続き全編通して過密投下による お笑いスナック感覚が軽快でサクサクに 進めやすいお話構成。 細かい演出なども分かりやすく 刺さるものばかりで クスクス笑わされます。 1作目よりボリュームも増えて お値段に相応しい充実した時間が過ごせます。 ボーナスポイントとしては、 「ヨーロッパにある」 「イギリスの隣にある」 「アメリカには昔からたくさんいる」 などのイメージでまとめられがちな アイルランドの民俗、歴史、文化、言語などについて 東洋の民に興味を持たせ調べるきっかけになるには よいバランス感覚とギャグセンスでした。 郷土愛を押し付けるのではなく、 アイルランドネタを入れるときは アメリカンである主人公の視点を入れてメタ的に見ている お笑いの視点の置き方がよく、 ちょうど全国展開でも成功するような地元ネタの 「ユニバーサルに笑えるユニークなこと」 というネタのチョイスと調理から お笑いの技術が感じられます。 バランス良くコアすぎない カジュアルでライトなネタを選んでいるのも よかったです。 ポイント&クリックにあるあるである 「そんな順番/組み合わせ/アイテムの 使い道さすがにわからんわ」というような詰みポイントは 1作目よりかなり増えた感触がややマイナスです。 それを除けばかなり安定したクオリティと 世界観のIPシリーズにまとまったものになっていると思います。 ゲームとしては あまり遊びとゲーム性のない 一本道ポイント&クリックアドベンチャーなので、 一気にプレイし続けると疲れやすいのは避けられません。 幸いチャプター形式で区切られているので、 休み休みやっていくのがちょうど良いかと。
Oui
虽然更难了,但是他俩真的很甜蜜~哦
YESSS MY FAVORITE BOYS ARE BACKKKKK After playing the demo, I knew I HAD to get the full game. And after I finished the game the first time, I KNEW I had to get all the achievements as well. I LOVE THIS GAME SERIES and I WILL be waiting for season three! Y'all, the first case of this season is my top favorite. It was heartwarming and I was so happy to get Dooley back after he's been missing for a FULL YEAR?? Also I really love how we get more of a glimpse of the duo's personalities and feelings in each case with each interaction to the environment around them. Thank you again Spooky Doorway!
Autant être direct : [b]j'adore [i]The Darkside Detective : A Fumble in the Dark[/i][/b] et je suis tellement heureuse que [i]The Darkside Detective[/i] ait eu une suite, et qu'il y en aura une autre [i](tellement hâte hehe)[/i] ! [b]Je suis fan de cette série[/b], c'est l'un de celles que je suis religieusement tellement je trouve que [b]le concept est original, incroyable, drôle et bien fait[/b]. Comme dans ma première évaluation du premier volet, c'est un jeu [b]rempli d'humour[/b] [i](encore plus que dans le 1 si c'est possible !)[/i] qui vous fera vous plier de rire. Comme toujours, cliquer partout et n'importe où pour découvrir des pépites toujours plus hilarantes les unes que les autres, avec de [b]nombreuses références[/b] aussi bien culturelles que "[i]méta-game[/i]". [b]Les personnages sont toujours aussi attachants[/b], avec beaucoup de rappels de premiers personnages, certains nouveaux venus et beaucoup que l'on espère revoir dans la suite ! Une fois de plus, les [b]énigmes sont très sympathiques[/b], plus longues j'ai l'impression que dans le premier volet et légèrement plus complexe alors qu'elles demandent davantage de déplacements, d'exploration et de réflexion. L'important est de bien saisir la logique du jeu et ça reste tout à fait faisable. [b]Les musiques et le design sont toujours aussi parfaits[/b] et en accord avec l'univers de [i]The Darkside Detective[/i]. [b]On adore des développeurs constants et passionnés[/b] qui n'hésitent pas à donner à leur création une personnalité propre, quitte à la rendre un peu "bizarre", mais c'est ce qui fait tout son charme ! Le travail est fait avec amour, et les joueurs ne peuvent qu'en donner en retour. [b]Je recommande vivement de jouer à [i]The Darkside Detective : A Fumble in the Dark[/i] ![/b] Ce jeu mérite, comme son premier volet, la note maximale : [h3]10/10[/h3] [b][u]PS:[/u][/b] Les niveaux bonus sont une fois de plus longs et très drôles. Et je me suis beaucoup amusé une fois de plus à débloquer tous les succès Steam, prolongeant l'agréable expérience, surtout qu'ils sont légèrement plus difficiles pour certains à obtenir que dans le premier jeu.
