About
Grab your trench coat, tune your sixth sense and join the Darkside Division as they investigate the outright bizarre, the downright dangerous and the confusing cases of Twin Lakes. Flesh-hungry tentacles, mafian zombies, and the occasional missing sock are no match for The Darkside Detective.
Where cultists crawl, where demons dwell, where the occult… occults? *ahem* That's where you’ll find Detective Francis McQueen, the lead investigator of the criminally underfunded Darkside Division. When evil darkens the doorsteps of Twin Lakes City – hell, even when it just loiters around shop fronts or hangs out in shady alleyways – he’s there, ready to investigate the cases that nobody else will.
He is The Darkside Detective.
The COMPLETE SEASON ONE collection of this multi award-winning comedic serial adventure sees Detective McQueen and his sidekick, Officer Patrick Dooley, investigating cases plaguing Twin Lakes and its colorful citizens. Point at everything in sight, click around mysterious and eerie locations, and use your wits (or borrow a friend’s) to lay these cases to rest!

Just not my kind of "pixelated" game. I don't like when sprites and the screen scrolls with parts of a single pixel, feels unauthentic and fake every time. I had a terrible time. Still beat it because someone told me the second game is good. Maybe just go straight to 2 then.

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
10 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
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 2,402 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.

This was a fantastic and funny nostalgia ride for anyone who likes old school point and click adventures. The puzzles were just hard enough and every click felt rewarding. Would definitely recommend to anyone. I also love the art style throughout, and all of the self deprecating humour. Just brilliant
I absolutely LOVE this game - the combination of the constant humor and puzzles feels incredibly fresh and unique. I would say the humor tends to skew more meta, absurdist, and sarcastic, so keep that in mind (also MANY pop culture references). The game feels incredibly well fleshed out, with endless dialogue and jokes in every level. I will also say though that if you are a person who just wants to get from point A to point B in a game, this is definitely not for you. The sheer volume of clickable objects and dialogue options in the game definitely makes it one made for the meanderers. The puzzles hit a good middle ground between logical answers that still can sometimes stop and make you think about what to do next, but the solutions almost always felt logical. The game is pretty short (I finished it, including the bonus levels, in about 5 hours), but it is honestly one that I see myself replaying at least once in the future to make sure I can appreciate all of the depth (especially since the storylines and characters are brought back in the sequels). Overall, would definitely recommend!
挺好玩的,轻松搞笑,解密也不是很难,有些比较抽象,但是可能因为我的思路也很抽象,所以对上脑电波了。 流程很短,一下子就玩完了。 支持主角双人组,很可爱的一对
非常好玩
Lovely little detective game :steamhappy: Laptop overheated but worth it!!
Funny kind of short game with 9 individual shortstories to solve. Funny references and dad jokes, some cool cases. Nothing too special, but worth the time and money spent for sure
Cute series of point and click adventures with silly humor and fun puzzles.
