"The Darkside Detective and Sequel A Fumble in the Dark Now Released"

Akupara Games has been making waves with their recent releases. From the deck-building adventure of Zoeti to the puzzle-solving fun of The Darkside Detective, and now its sequel, The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark, they're giving gamers plenty to enjoy. Both games are available together, offering a delightful double dose of mystery and humor.

What’s The Scene In The Darkside Detective?

The game kicks off on a misty, eerie night in Twin Lakes, a town where the weird and the wonderful are just part of everyday life. Meet Detective Francis McQueen and his partner, the endearing yet sometimes clueless Officer Patrick Dooley. They form the Darkside Division, a woefully underfunded unit of the Twin Lakes Police Department. Dive into nine compact cases that immerse you in the quirky and comical universe of The Darkside Detective and its equally entertaining sequel, A Fumble in the Dark.

In these point-and-click adventures, you'll tackle a variety of challenges, from time-travel puzzles and monstrous tentacles to uncovering secrets at a carnival and dealing with mafia zombies. Get a taste of the action by watching the trailer for The Darkside Detective below!

Will You Try The Games Out?

The Darkside Detective series is a love letter to pop culture, brimming with nods to classic horror movies, sci-fi shows, and buddy cop films. The cases boast intriguing titles like Malice in Wonderland, Tome Alone, Disorient Express, Police Farce, Don of the Dead, Buy Hard, and Baits Motel.

What stands out most is the game's knack for infusing humor into every nook and cranny. If you're keen to dive into The Darkside Detective, you can snag it on the Google Play Store for $6.99. And if you're curious about A Fumble in the Dark, you can jump straight into it without playing the prequel—just head over to Google Play.
