About the game

He is The Darkside Detective. The Darkside Detective is a classic point and click adventure game with a distinct sense of humour. It’s available now for PC, Mac and Linux. Join Detective McQueen and Officer Dooley as they investigate 6 bizarre cases. From the occult to the supernatural, anything is possible in this micro adventure game.
