Akupara Games has been prolific lately, releasing titles like the deck-builder 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 misty, ominous night in Twin Lakes, a city where the strange, supernatural, and utterly absurd are commonplace. Players control Detective Francis McQueen and his endearingly clumsy partner, Officer Patrick Dooley, the underfunded Darkside Division of the Twin Lakes Police Department. You'll solve nine quirky cases, delving into the hilarious and bizarre world of The Darkside Detective and its equally witty sequel.
These point-and-click adventures offer a diverse range of challenges, from time-travel mysteries and tentacled horrors to uncovering carnival secrets and battling mafia zombies. See the action for yourself in the trailer below!

The game is a playful homage to pop culture, filled with references to classic horror films, sci-fi series, and buddy cop movies. Case titles alone are intriguing: 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, permeating every pixel. The Darkside Detective is available on the Google Play Store for $6.99. You can also jump straight into A Fumble in the Dark without playing the prequel – it's also on Google Play.
