The Darkside Detective overview
Where cultists crawl, where demons dwell, where the occult… occults? *ahem* That's where you’ll find Detective Francis McQueen, the lead investigator of the criminally underfunded Darkside Division. When evil darkens the doorsteps of Twin Lakes City - hell, even when it just loiters around shop fronts or hangs out in shady alleyways - he’s there, ready to investigate the cases that nobody else will.
He is The Darkside Detective.
The COMPLETE SEASON ONE collection of this multi-award-winning comedic serial adventure sees Detective McQueen and his sidekick, Officer Patrick Dooley, investigating cases plaguing Twin Lakes and its colorful citizens. Point at everything in sight, click around mysterious and eerie locations, and use your wits (or borrow a friend’s) to lay these cases to rest!
