The Darkside Detective | Nintendo Switch Releases | NintendoReporters

 [![The Darkside Detective](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/the-darkside-detective.jpeg "The Darkside Detective")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/the-darkside-detective.jpeg)![Preview Image](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/cf037994d5b1c1221d8b195b7cfb84e7.jpeg "Preview Image")

Where cultists crawl, where demons dwell, where the occult…occults? \*ahem\* That’s where you’ll find Detective Francis McQueen, the lead investigator of the criminally underfunded Darkside Division.

When evil darkens the doorsteps of Twin Lakes City – heck, even when it just loiters around shop fronts or hangs out in shady alleyways – he’s there, ready to investigate the cases that nobody else will. He is The Darkside Detective.

The Darkside Detective is a micro-adventure game with a distinct sense of humour and charm which consists of a series of humorous bite-size investigations into the occult and extraordinary. It features:

- Six cases, each more spooky than the last
- Music from Ben Prunty, the audiomancer behind gems such as FTL and Gravity Ghost
- At least three jokes
- Cutting edge, high-definition pixels
- One free curse-removal, up to and including mid-level witch hexes
