Le détective Francis McQueen fait son retour à Twin Lakes, la 34e ville la plus hantée d'Amérique, pour résoudre neuf affaires indépendantes de paradoxes paranormaux glaçants. Il démêle des mystères macabres dans un carnaval, une maison de retraite, un circuit de catch amateur, et même en Irlande, tout en sauvant son acolyte, l'agent Dooley, des griffes du Darkside. Ce point-and-click indie à la fois effrayant et hilarant propose du détective surnaturel décontracté sur PC.
Les joueurs guident McQueen dans l'enquête sur des bruits suspects nocturnes et des frissons inquiétants, tout en maîtrisant la malédiction de niveau intermédiaire de la ville. La boucle de jeu repose sur l'exploration point-and-click de nuisances maudites qui exigent une résolution ingénieuse des puzzles. Les amateurs d'aventures humoristiques en format court apprécieront ces récits autonomes.
Delouse your room with sage and pack up your travel-sized ouija board, it’s time to re-enter Twin Lakes - America’s 34th most haunted city. Join Detective McQueen as he puzzles his way through 9 chilling cases, risking life and pixelated limb to solve the macabre mysteries that plague the poor town.
Twin Lakes is a cursed city. Less cursed than say, “Demons are tearing it apart” but more cursed than “always loses its keys” or “often steps in puddles”. It’s roughly in the middle of the cursed scale, is what we’re trying to say.
Cursed enough that it’s a nuisance. Cursed enough that somebody has to deal with it…
That’s where The Darkside Detective comes in. Whenever you hear a bump in the night, feel a tingle up your spine, or smell something fishy, Detective Francis McQueen isn’t far behind.
No, he doesn’t smell of fish - it’s a phrase, come on...
Picking up after the events of The Darkside Detective, McQueen has to save his usually-present (in body, if not mind) sidekick Officer Dooley from the Darkside, so the two can get back to what they do best - investigating the city’s many strange, often paranormal, always paradoxical goings-on.
Join them in this frighteningly funny point-and-click adventure as they investigate nine more standalone cases bringing them to a carnival, the local retirement home, an amateur wrestling circuit and even as far away as Ireland as they do what they can to keep the Darkside at bay.
