The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark News

Hello, Steam people!

Exciting news. LudoNarraCon, the yearly digital convention held by indie label Fellow Traveler, is happening from April 23rd to the 26th!

Oh and WE ARE IN IT!

That's right, The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark is being featured at LudoNarraCon, and we've got a bunch of really fun streams and premieres for you to dig into during the event!

Behind The Scenes Developer Walkthrough

Want to take a deep dive into The Darkside Detective and get insight on the world of the game and the minds of the developers? We've got an exclusive behind the scenes video with members of Spooky Doorway. It's part interview, part developer walkthrough, and ALL exclusive.

Art Stream With Paul Conway

A lot goes into rendering the handsome, featureless faces of The Darkside Detective protagonists Dooley and McQueen. Lead artist Paul Conway is a master of the pixel craft, and he's going to be doing an exclusive LudoNarraCon art stream! Tune in and watch him go through the entire process, from initial sketches to final pixel-perfect art.

Buddy Gets Good - The Darkside Detective Edition

Buddy is the Community Manager at Akupara Games, and he loves to hop on stream and play games from our deep, deep catalogue. The only issue is that he's usually preeeeetty bad at them. For LudoNarraCon, he's doing an exclusive stream and tackling a case from The Darkside Detective, so check out the stream to see if he's got what it takes to crack a case or two.

Pint and Click Celebration Stream
Drinks, devs, and downright sillyness. Join a mix of Akupara Games and Spooky Doorway team members for a fun, laid back stream. The developers of The Darkside Detective will be answering some burning community questions, but they'll also be getting tipsy and making noise, so you don't want to miss it. Plus, you'll be able to catch some tutorials on how to craft custom Darkside Detective-themed cocktails.



You're going to be able to catch all of these streams right here on Steam during LudoNarraCon, so if you want to fumble along with us, catch the event, hop in our Discord, and let's get ghosty.

Hey, detectives!

The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark releases April 15th!

For $12.99, you'll be able to join the episodic, point-and-click adventures of Detective McQueen and Officer Dooley in six brand new cases!

If you'd like a little taste of the action, why not take a look at our fancy new trailer?

Twin Lakes is a cursed city. Less cursed than say, “Demons are tearing it apart” but more cursed than “always loses its keys” or “often steps in puddles”. It’s roughly in the middle of the cursed scale, is what we’re trying to say.

Cursed enough that it’s a nuisance. Cursed enough that somebody has to deal with it…

That’s where The Darkside Detective comes in. Whenever you hear a bump in the night, feel a tingle up your spine, or smell something fishy, Detective Francis McQueen isn’t far behind.

No, he doesn’t smell of fish - it’s a phrase, come on...

Picking up after the events of The Darkside Detective, McQueen has to save his usually-present (in body, if not mind) sidekick Officer Dooley from the Darkside, so the two can get back to what they do best - investigating the city’s many strange, often paranormal, always paradoxical goings-on.

Join them in this frighteningly funny point-and-click adventure as they investigate six more standalone cases bringing them to a carnival, the local retirement home, an amateur wrestling circuit and even as far away as Ireland as they do what they can to keep the Darkside at bay.
