Introducing The Darkside Detective: Backside of the Moon

Hey Detectives,

If you were watching the Unity Awards you would have seen us announcing The Darkside Detective: Backside of the Moon!

The Darkside Detective: Backside of the Moon brings six new mind-melting cases to the mix where Detective McQueen and Officer Dooley might have to get a bit serious. Like 1% serious. .1% serious? .01% serious?

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 Lake's 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 Lake's 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, arwy 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. 

Wishlist Backside of the Moon!

Join the Spooky Doorway Discord to discuss with detectives in a different district.
