fun casual easy point and click
A very fun, if quick, adventure game. The dialogue was amusing and the puzzles were fun, not frustrating. This was a perfect chill game!
Great Game with a fun story (or rather fun stories), interesting characters and surprisingly.. despite the humoristic aspects it manages to create a creepy atmosphere.
The only thing that really bothered me is the graphics. Pixel graphics are okay... but this low amount of details and huge pixels are just way to exaggerated and just seem lazy.
I liked the way the game was split up into cases. Some of the puzzles were pretty hard but overall everything was relatively intuitive. Lots of humor, some fun references, and an interesting premise.
I am obsessed with this game. The controls are drag-and-drop to combine or use objects, and click to talk. They work in a way that makes sense, which is great. I like the third-wall breaks and the storylines. The puzzles are difficult without being impossible, and the clues make sense. Great game!
Dooley has ruined me for other men.
It was ok, I guess. Not my type of jokes, they were quite lame. I smiled a few times throught the game tho. Also, there is not much detective and mystery stuff to do, it`s just a fetch quest, nothing noteworthy.
And this game can be completed in four hours or so, i just fell asleep while it was still running.
People who enjoy witty wordplay should buy this game.
However, there's a very experience-breaking bug: when using Chinese language, the game severely lags for several seconds whenever ellipsis (...) appears. Hope this bug can be fixed.
Monkey Island fans rejoice. This is fun for the whole family. Writing is absolutely hilarious
Funny characters and fun puzzles. What's not to like?
I wish I had found this game sooner! I like the humorous and ironic dialogues inside the game lol
I haven't played a point-and-click game in a very long time so it was great to be reintroduced to the genre with a game as charming as this one. None of the puzzles were too difficult or too simple and I really appreciated that. Lots of humor. This duo and their dynamic were a treat to play with (even if McQueen was doing most of the heavy lifting!) Because of the length of the cases, I would recommend buying it at a discounted price, but this game is great and I highly recommend!
fuckin sick
cozy game
brilliant, funny, challenging
simple quirky game with lots of references to classic sci-fi and (one? two?) horror. It's a cute point and click puzzler with lots of jokes and laughs, 10/10 recommend for a puzzle fan looking for something lighthearted.
The most underrated detective game out there. Strongly recommend!
Great point&click pixel art adventure. Chock full of pop-culture references and stupid jokes, just how I like my games!
It is on the easy side with most puzzles having very straight forward answers and item combinations, so if you're looking for a simple adventure that's fun but not frustrating, this one's a winner!
Full of that great combination of utter absurdity and silliness mixed with some well-delivered lines about capitalism sucking and misuse of police power. Looking forward to more of the detective and his bumbling partner!
Not scary at all, it's fine if you're a weenie like me who gets creeped out easily. It's too funny to be spooky! :)
Great game! Very interesting dynamic duo and the jokes are hilarious
This was a great fun detective & puzzle point & click game, with touch of humour. There are definitely supernatural element in it but it's not scary or spooky. The puzzles are logical and the characters will be saying something that will help, for example "I should find something sticky" so you'd need to find something sticky or check if you have already picked up something that can be sticky.
If you like - puzzle, detective, supernatural/occult, solving cases, comedy, and pixel art, then this game is for you!
I'm looking forward to playing A Fumble In The Dark. (A sequel to this game)
Love the humour
Somehow the perfect balance between goofy, spooky, funny, and eye-rolling at bad jokes, all to the tune of classic occult back drop. I really hope they make more games in the series, I can't get enough of the McQueen / Dooley banter!
Zany, fun, lowbrow; The Darkside Detective keeps churning out spoof after spoof of occult horror. Easy to become involved with, and surprisingly good for a game that keeps all aspects of its delivery uncomplicated. Polishing it up to sharpen that "edge" would definitely pull this game up to the next level. where it's not a fringe game people play out of curiosity. The Darkside Detective reminds me of computer games from my youth when I really, really enjoyed playing them. Rated 7 out of 10.
2 tropes i cannot stand in point and click puzzlers anymore:
1 popculture related references, DSD starts with that in the very first dialogue
2 trying so hard to be funny you feel bad for the game
Very funny and enjoyable detective click-and-point. The puzzles were fun, I enjoyed the plot and the characters. I was able to solve it all so it's likely too easy for a true puzzle fiend but worth it for the humour alone.
Playing this game brought joy into my cold and miserable existence. 10/10 would smooch Officer Dooley if game permitted
Witty and creative, one of the most fun games I've played yet
Love this game. Fun puzzles, a good story line, and great art. It was way more entertaining than I thought it would be and I look forward to playing the second one. A nice cozy, funny, paranormal detective game.
The game was fairly short and in most ways enjoyable. The puzzles were just difficult enough. There were only a few times where I felt like I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing, but even wandering around wasn't too bad.
What an enjoyable time travelling experience this point & click, pixel art, adventure game was - as I repeatedly laughed out loud at the very funny dialogue and plot scenarios, it was like being 30+ years younger and playing Monkey Island for the first time!
In The Darkside Detective, the main character, with his loyal, comically gullible, and ever-hungry uniformed police officer partner, must solve supernatural & occult-related crimes in the city of Twin Lakes. The game is a series of six main (and three bonus) short(-ish) cases which, though separate, have humorous references to each other, and many supporting characters in common; I really liked this episodic format.
Each case can be solved very quickly and relatively logically, but that would be to miss the joy of selecting all of the dialogue options, and clicking on all of the background items; I preferred to have a slow, thorough playthrough of each case, and then repeat it in a fast, abbreviated form for any achievement-related items or actions that I had missed the first time. The low resolution pixel art really suited the game, even to the extent that many comic references are made to it by the characters themselves.
Thoroughly recommended for lovers of old school point & click adventures, and for converting those who aren't sure about this kind of game yet...
A true gem. i love these.
Funny
Love the design and feel of the game. Puzzle solutions require a fair amount of out of the box thinking, to the point I had to look up the next step in a guide a couple of times because I worked out what the outcome needed to be but not how I could make it happen. But overall a very enjoyable way to spend a few hours.
Absolutely hilarious, old school point and click <3
A great little point & click romp. I love the pixel art and silly jokes. Good fun!
The Darkside Detective is one of my most favorite games that I have played. The pixel art is fun, and the story is hilarious and yet captivating. There are so many references in this game that it's like an easter egg hunt while playing it. Highly Recommend. 10/10 (Also, buy the second one as well. Just as funny with great story!)
9 cases. Takes about 6 hours to finish the whole game. Good humor, good puzzles. Would recommend, but especially on sale given how short it is.
Had an absolute blast playing this game.
It's reminding me of old comedy point and click adventure games that I used to play. I had fun, and I laughed/cringed at some of the references.
The only issue I ran into was that some of the optional achievements did not want to pop, even after I made sure to complete their tasks exactly.
Pretty cool and fascinating game with a unique story line and cool art style. Definitely give it a go if you like games like this.
I was sceptical on whether id enjoy the game since I'm not a massive fan of pixelated graphics, I'm glad to be proven wrong. In fact, id even go so far as to say the pixelated look adds to the aura/feel this game has. I enjoyed solving each case and particularly loved the dynamic and interactions with our police officer partner. The humour made me chuckle and roll my eyes on multiple occasions and really helped the overall feel to the game. A solid 9/10 from me.
Good atmosphere, music and humor.
Its a great pixel art game, plenty of puzzles and puns for a relaxing weekend with a 5-6 hour gameplay.
Pretty laid back point and click game with some hilarious dialogue and funny scene. It does the job well enough but not really excel at telling an amazing story since the whole game is just that the protagonists go through the cases one by one which is pretty short on its own. If you like early 21st centuries point and click flash games this might be your cup of tea, it exactly match the same vibe of said games.
Overall enjoyable short game.
Probably my favorite point 'n click series. Love the wacky stories, the nerdy jokes, the lovable characters. Can't wait till I've forgotten most of it and can play it again.
Fun little puzzle game. Had some good laughs, ready to play the next one!
I, D!ck Brickman, bought this on a boredom whim and was pleasantly surprised by how much I, D!ck Brickman, enjoyed it.
I'm not an achievement hunter, but definitely enjoyed being rewarded for being an exploratory idiot. This game has some of that unhinged LucasArts energy behind it for sure when it comes to the creative puzzle solving. I really enjoyed the simple humor, the fourth wall breaking, the characters, and the idea that you get to play in 2 reverse worlds w/ occasional character splits. It's even one of those games where the credits are immensely entertaining. Definitely a perfect day off from work treat and I'll have to go check out the devs and publishers for any other titles.
UDPATE: Beyond pleased to find out there's a second game in the series.
A delightful point&click detective adventure with atmospheric tracks that fit the spooky setting!
The writing is consistently witty, with clever dialogue that pokes fun at classic horror tropes while keeping the tone light-hearted. The banter between McQueen and Dooley provides much of the game's charm, with Dooley’s goofy personality perfectly balancing McQueen’s straight-faced skepticism.
The game is full of unique sense of humor and charm. Can wholeheartedly recommend
A fun point-and-click puzzle game that I found hard to put down once I began. The characters and world are charming (and strange) and fun to interact with. Each case you solve is it's own contained story, eventually leading up to the final case.
The last three cases are available for the player to begin whenever and are marked as bonus, but include characters that are introduced in other cases that come before. The final case is also clearly intended to be played last. While you can play these cases whenever you want, you should probably play them in order.
