Darkside Detective & Sequel Now Available

Akupara Games has been busy lately, releasing a string of intriguing 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 released simultaneously!

What's the Scene in *The Darkside Detective*?

The game plunges you into the perpetually gloomy, fog-shrouded town of Twin Lakes, a place where the strange, the spooky, and the utterly absurd are everyday occurrences. Meet Detective Francis McQueen and his endearingly clueless partner, Officer Patrick Dooley, the unlikely duo comprising the Darkside Division—the perpetually underfunded branch of the Twin Lakes Police Department.

Together, you'll tackle nine bite-sized cases, delving into the hilarious and bizarre world of The Darkside Detective and its equally witty sequel, A Fumble in the Dark. These point-and-click adventures throw you headfirst into a wild mix of challenges, from time-traveling conundrums and flesh-hungry tentacles to uncovering the secrets of a sinister carnival and battling mafia zombies. Check out the trailer below for a taste of the action!

Will You Give These Games a Try?

The Darkside Detective is a delightful homage to pop culture, brimming with references to classic horror movies, sci-fi shows, and buddy cop films. The cases themselves boast equally captivating titles: Malice in Wonderland, Tome Alone, Disorient Express, Police Farce, Don of the Dead, Buy Hard, and Baits Motel.

The game’s greatest strength lies in its ability to inject humor into every pixelated corner. Ready to experience the fun? Grab The Darkside Detective from 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.
