Akupara Games has been busy lately! Following their recent release of the deck-building game Zoeti, they've now brought us The Darkside Detective, a quirky puzzle game, and its sequel, The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark—both available at once!
What's the Scene in *The Darkside Detective*?
The game opens on a foggy, gloomy night in Twin Lakes, a town where the strange, spooky, and absurd are everyday occurrences. Meet Detective Francis McQueen and his partner, the lovable (if slightly clueless) Officer Patrick Dooley. Together, they form the Darkside Division, a hilariously underfunded branch of the Twin Lakes Police Department.
You'll join them in solving nine bite-sized cases, diving headfirst into the bizarre and witty world of The Darkside Detective and its equally charming sequel, A Fumble in the Dark. These point-and-click adventures throw everything at you: time-traveling puzzles, flesh-hungry tentacles, carnival secrets, and even mafia zombies! See it all in action in the trailer below:
Will You Give These Games a Try?
Packed with pop culture references—from classic horror movies to sci-fi shows and buddy cop flicks—The Darkside Detective is a humorous delight. Case titles like "Malice in Wonderland," "Tome Alone," "Disorient Express," "Police Farce," "Don of the Dead," "Buy Hard," and "Baits Motel" hint at the fun inside. The game expertly blends humor into every pixel.
Ready to solve some mysteries? Grab The Darkside Detective on the Google Play Store for $6.99. You can also jump straight into A Fumble in the Dark without playing the prequel—it's available on Google Play as well.
