About

Point-and-click adventure starring Francis McQueen, sole detective in Twin Lakes City's underfunded Darkside Division. You investigate six cases involving occult activity, supernatural events, and the occasional missing cat. Each case plays as a self-contained micro-mystery—expect demons, cultists, and paranormal oddities treated with dry humor rather than horror. Puzzles follow classic inventory-and-dialogue logic: combine items, question witnesses, poke at the weird until something clicks. The tone leans comedic, with McQueen and his partner Officer Dooley cracking wise through Twin Lakes' stranger incidents. Cases are short, designed for bite-sized sessions rather than sprawling narratives. If you want spooky setups played for laughs and don't mind modest production scope, this delivers straightforward detective work in a city where the occult regularly occults.
