Akupara Games has been prolific lately, releasing titles like the deck-building game Zoeti and now the puzzle game The Darkside Detective, along with its sequel, The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark (both available simultaneously!).
Exploring the Darkside Detective Universe
The game unfolds on a gloomy, fog-shrouded night in Twin Lakes, a city where the strange, eerie, and utterly absurd are commonplace. Players control Detective Francis McQueen and his partner, the endearingly clumsy Officer Patrick Dooley, as they tackle nine quirky cases for the underfunded Darkside Division of the Twin Lakes Police Department.
These point-and-click adventures present a hilarious and bizarre world, encompassing time travel, monstrous tentacles, carnival mysteries, and even mafia zombies. See the intriguing gameplay for yourself in the trailer below!

The Darkside Detective is a playful homage to pop culture, referencing classic horror films, sci-fi series, and buddy cop movies. The cases themselves boast captivating titles like "Malice in Wonderland," "Tome Alone," "Disorient Express," "Police Farce," "Don of the Dead," "Buy Hard," and "Baits Motel."
The game's humor is a standout feature, infused into every pixel. The Darkside Detective is available on the Google Play Store for $6.99, and you can jump straight into A Fumble in the Dark without playing the prequel – also available on Google Play.
