All of the components – the humour, the horror, the puzzles, and the characters – of The Darkside Detective add up to create one of the most entertaining and rewarding point and click games I’ve ever played. It was great to not be made to feel like an imbecile because I didn’t know I needed to combine an apple with a tin opener before placing the unlikely contraption I’d created in a microwave to continue, something which many games in the genre are terribly guilty of. The Darkside Detective is great for those, who like me, enjoy the intellectual silliness of creations like Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace.

The Darkside Detective is a successful spin on the classic point-and-click adventure, delivering an engaging narrative, funny characters and one of the strongest soundtracks in a good while. I sincerely hope a sequel is in the works.

The Darkside Detective is one of the games which made me actually laugh while playing it. The distinct sense of humour may not address to everyone, but if you like Twin Peaks, bizarre supernatural stories and pixelated art design, give The Darkside Detective a chance. The game offers more than meets the eye and a good laugh, which we all need.
