The delightful duo of Detective McQueen and Officer Dooley return to solve more spooky mysteries today in The Darkside Detective: A Fumble In The Dark, a second season following 2017 s comedic adventure game. Six new cases will send our heroes to places including a carnival, a wrestling league, and (spookiest of all) a retirement home for more pointing, clicking, and laughing. A funny and gentle adventure game sounds ideal right now.
A Fumble In The Dark returns to the mildly spooky American city of Twin Lakes to investigate bothersome supernatural goings-on, though it will also venture over to Castle Dooley in Ireland. I suppose I should ve known Dooley would have ancestors most people do yet the prospect startles me. He s a strange one, that Dooley.
The Darkside Detective: A Fumble In The Dark Will Haunt Switch This Month
Back in early 2018,
The Darkside Detective brought its humorous point and click adventure to the eShop. We quite liked it, though felt that its heavy focus on pop-culture and jokes from the 80s and 90s would fly over younger gamers heads.
It s full of personality, and its sequel - initially dubbed as Season 2 - was successfully funded on Kickstarter. Now it s known as
The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark, and is heading to the eShop on 15th April. Check out some details and the trailer below.
