Detective Francis McQueen kehrt nach Twin Lakes zurück, Amerikas 34. unheimlichster Stadt, um neun schaurige, eigenständige Fälle paranormaler Paradoxe zu lösen. Er knackt makabre Rätsel auf einem Karneval, in einem Seniorenheim, auf der Amateur-Wrestling-Szene und sogar in Irland - und rettet dabei Sidekick Officer Dooley aus dem Darkside. Dieses gruselig-lustige Indie-Point-and-Click-Adventure bietet entspanntes übernatürliches Ermitteln auf dem PC.
Die Spieler lotsen McQueen bei der Untersuchung seltsamer Geräusche in der Nacht und unheimlicher Schauer und halten den mittelstarken Fluch der Stadt im Zaum. Der Kerngedanke dreht sich um Point-and-Click-Erkundung verfluchter Ärgernisse, die clevere Puzzles erfordern. Fans humorvoller, knackiger Adventure-Games kommen bei diesen abgeschlossenen Geschichten voll auf ihre Kosten.
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.
