Get a Sample of the Story for The Darkside Detective: Backside of the Moon in the Latest Demo

You'd think that after 20+ cases, there'd be no crime left in Twin Lakes – but that's not how crime works, rookie. Misdemeanours nap and corruption rarely gets out of bed but crime? Crime never sleeps… That may be why Detective McQueen is so pale… But if not him, who else would keep Twin Lakes' arcane crooks and supernatural delinquents at bay? Nobody, that's who – because he and his trusted, if not trustworthy, sidekick Officer Dooley are The Darkside Division. Twin Lakes' crack(ed) force tasked with keeping the city's streets ghoul-free and human-expensive.

Our dream(y) team are back and they're more ready than ever to put the zing in Van Helsing. Sadly for them, there are no vampire stories this time around. Still, they swore a vow to serve and protect so they will explore, gather, combine, point and click their way through whatever comes their way in six brand new standalone cases (we tried to just remaster a few of them but we didn't get away with that). Werewolves, cursed items, awry rituals, treasure hunts, and perhaps most terrifying monster of all – rich people – will put our pixelated heroes to the test but with your help, they might come out on top.
