Il detective Francis McQueen fa ritorno a Twin Lakes, la 34ª città più infestata d'America, per affrontare nove casi indipendenti di paradossi paranormali agghiaccianti. Risolve enigmi macabri in un luna park, una casa di riposo, un circuito di wrestling amatoriale e persino in Ireland, salvando nel frattempo il suo fidato vice, l'ufficiale Dooley, dal Darkside. Questo indie point-and-click adventure da brivido e risate offre indagini sovrannaturali alla portata di tutti su PC.
I giocatori accompagnano McQueen nelle indagini su rumori notturni misteriosi e brividi inquietanti, tenendo a bada la maledizione di medio livello che affligge la città. Il gameplay ruota attorno all'esplorazione point-and-click di fastidi maledetti, che richiedono soluzioni astute agli enigmi. Gli amanti delle avventure umoristiche e compatte apprezzeranno queste storie autonome.
Delouse your room with sage and pack up your travel-sized ouija board, it’s time to re-enter Twin Lakes - America’s 34th most haunted city. Join Detective McQueen as he puzzles his way through 9 chilling cases, risking life and pixelated limb to solve the macabre mysteries that plague the poor town.
Twin Lakes is a cursed city. Less cursed than say, “Demons are tearing it apart” but more cursed than “always loses its keys” or “often steps in puddles”. It’s roughly in the middle of the cursed scale, is what we’re trying to say.
Cursed enough that it’s a nuisance. Cursed enough that somebody has to deal with it…
That’s where The Darkside Detective comes in. Whenever you hear a bump in the night, feel a tingle up your spine, or smell something fishy, Detective Francis McQueen isn’t far behind.
No, he doesn’t smell of fish - it’s a phrase, come on...
Picking up after the events of The Darkside Detective, McQueen has to save his usually-present (in body, if not mind) sidekick Officer Dooley from the Darkside, so the two can get back to what they do best - investigating the city’s many strange, often paranormal, always paradoxical goings-on.
Join them in this frighteningly funny point-and-click adventure as they investigate nine more standalone cases bringing them to a carnival, the local retirement home, an amateur wrestling circuit and even as far away as Ireland as they do what they can to keep the Darkside at bay.
