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!

剧情很无聊,而且道具的获取时机很奇怪。正常逻辑下,应该是先遇到难题,然后觉得需要某种道具,然后才去拿道具。而不是先拿一堆莫名其妙的道具,后面遇到谜题了正好使用
[h1]色情度不足 Not my type 2/5[/h1] 遊戲分成幾個小關卡進行,每個關卡大約 25 分鐘左右結束,排除部分解法難聯想外,整體難度偏低。劇情上偶爾有一些笑點,但大部分時間都沒什麼特別有趣的,而應該是主打的搭檔戲又有點一言難盡。如果扣除掉到處點來點去查找東西的話,整體劇情大約三分鐘就能講完,和搭檔的戲分又淺薄到有跟沒有一樣,有點不知道我為什麼要玩這款遊戲。
A charming and well-paced series of investigative cases and complimented with a great sense of humor. I'd suggest it for anyone that enjoys mystery games and point and click adventures.
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!!
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!
Fun style and comedy. Puzzles were generally enjoyable
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.
