Akupara Games has been busy lately, releasing a string of new titles. Following their recent deck-building game, Zoeti, comes The Darkside Detective, a quirky puzzle adventure, and its sequel, The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark (both available now!).
What's Brewing in Twin Lakes?
The game opens on a misty, mysterious night in Twin Lakes, a town where the strange and supernatural are commonplace. Meet Detective Francis McQueen and his partner, the endearingly inept Officer Patrick Dooley, the unlikely duo of the Darkside Division – the perpetually underfunded branch of the Twin Lakes Police Department.
You'll join them in solving nine captivating cases, each a bite-sized chunk of hilarious, bizarre fun, spanning both The Darkside Detective and its equally witty sequel.
These point-and-click adventures throw you headfirst into a world of time-traveling puzzles, flesh-hungry horrors, carnival secrets, and even mafia zombies! See it all in action with the trailer below:
Ready to Investigate? -------------------------The game is a delightful blend of pop culture references, nodding to classic horror films, sci-fi shows, and buddy cop movies. Case titles alone are a treat, including "Malice in Wonderland," "Tome Alone," "Disorient Express," "Police Farce," "Don of the Dead," "Buy Hard," and "Baits Motel."
The game's humor is infectious, permeating every pixel. Dive into the mystery! The Darkside Detective is available on the Google Play Store for $6.99. You can also jump straight into A Fumble in the Dark without playing the prequel – find it on Google Play as well.
