unlabelledView post →Remove things the player doesn't need to enjoy your game. For example, in the Darkside Detective we removed walking and kept the majority of interactions as mouse clicks and dialogue. The game play felt fast and most players didn't notice they weren't walking. It saved us a lot of time animating.

unlabelledView post →Game Finished #1 - The Darkside Detective I LOVE point and click games. This one was lighthearted and a nice change. I had to use a guide a few times because some things were hard to figure out, but it's not too difficult most of the game! Overall, I prefer more serious point and clicks XD

unlabelledView post →2026 game thread! The Darkside Detective Hilarious little point-and-click adventure game. Not too long, great writing, logical puzzles. Really enjoyed this one. Any game featuring the ghosts of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams playing chess together is a winner in my books. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
unlabelledView post →You may be interested in the Darkside Detective series. They're two puzzle games following a detective and a regular (and clueless) cop as they investigate mysteries involving an alternate reality called The Darkside. They're fun. The studio's most recent game is Séance at Blake Manor.
unlabelledView post →I don't think there's anything wrong at all with mimicking another style for practice, especially if you credit where it's from when it looks very similar to the original piece ^^ And yeah, The Darkside Detective is such a great point and click puzzle/adventure game! 😀 I think they adapted well! 💜

unlabelledView post →I've got two(ish) recommendations, depending on what you're looking for: -The Darkside Detective: funny, point-and-click adventure game series. The cases are short, so minimal frustration -The Painscreek Killings: fairly realistic sandbox mystery. Does not hold your hand, so take plenty of notes

unlabelledView post →The Darkside Detective is a fairly straightforward silly little point and click game, but I did catch at least one RLM - more specifically Space Cop - reference, so that's appreciated.
unlabelledView post →The Darkside Detective! Very good game.
