About The Darkside Detective
Grab your trench coat, tune your sixth sense, and join the Darkside Division as they investigate the outright bizarre, the downright dangerous and the mildly 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!

• One free curse-removal, up to and including mid-level witch hexes

User reviews
Great game. Fun and humorous.
I love this game, it's worth the money, the humour is very tongue in cheek, it gives off Twin Peaks vibes , the achievements can be hard to get so that's part of the challenge.
I just solved the first case and the writing is excellent. I normally hate puzzles in games but this has been fun so far. Controls are super straightforward too
I've been waiting for years for this game to come to mobile phones and it has finally reached Android and I couldn't be happier. Although i have one major complaint related to both this game and the 2nd game that is the game has thick black bars on either side of the game screen. If the developers could add an image...
