The Darkside Detective: Backside of the Moon description

The Darkside Detective: Backside of the Moon

The Darkside Detective returns with a moonlit new chapter. Detective McQueen and his loyal, if not entirely trustworthy, partner Officer Dooley lead Twin Lakes' Darkside Division, the crack squad chosen to keep the city’s streets free of ghouls, occult criminals, and supernatural mischief. In Backside of the Moon, their mission continues in six brand-new standalone cases, crafted to stand on their own even if you’ve played the first game.

This is a fresh collection of mysteries, not a simple remaster. Expect moonlit noir vibes, witty banter, and sharp writing as you investigate bizarre crimes and eerie phenomena that dwell in the shadows of Twin Lakes. The duo’s dynamic—detached humor and stubborn determination—drives the adventures as you delve into each mystery’s secrets.

Gameplay remains true to the classic point-and-click DNA: explore atmospheric locations, gather clues, combine items, and test theories through careful deduction. Interrogate suspects, reveal hidden connections, and assemble the pieces before night fully ends. Each case blends humor with occult intrigue, inviting you to solve puzzles with clever logic rather than brute force.

Across six standalone cases you’ll encounter a spectrum of supernatural puzzles: treacherous werewolves, cursed artifacts, imperfect rituals, treasure hunts, and, perhaps most unsettling, the mirror-sharp monsters of wealth and power. The moonlit setting amplifies the strange, turning ordinary streets into a stage for otherworldly capers.

Visually, the game keeps its retro pixel art charm, pairing crisp sprites with a moody, humorous tone. It’s a compact, atmospheric detective romp designed for quick, bite-size mysteries that still deliver satisfying storytelling and clever puzzles.

If you loved chasing clues with McQueen and Dooley before, you’ll find more sharp dialogue, more quirky cases, and more nights spent under Twin Lakes’ lunar glow. Ready your notes, sharpen your wits, and dive into six fresh mysteries that prove crime never sleeps—even on the far side of the moon.
