The Darkside Detective 2 review: Retro point and click sequel is a blast from the past Mirror 2 hrs ago Ryan Leston Think point and click adventure games are a thing of the past? Well, think again – The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark is the latest retro-style adventure game to show us there’s still life in the old genre yet.
The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark follows Detective Francis McQueen – a downtrodden officer of Twin Lakes Police Department. But Twin Lakes is no ordinary town and Detective McQueen is no ordinary police officer.
Supernatural occurrences take place in Twin Lakes on a regular basis, and Detective McQueen heads up the criminally underfunded Darkside Division – in charge of investigating all that paranormal activity along with his best pal Officer Dooley.
