Submitted for your approval: a short demo for an adventure compilation of occult-themed detective cases. In this brief prototype for The Darkside Detective, you take the role of Francis McQueen—investigator of creepy happenings, and sole member of the Darkside Division.
It's relatively standard point-'n-click fare, but it's got a nice-'n-breezy sense of humour running throughout. Rather than extend this single case, the full game will focus on multiple bite-sized investigations. It's seems like a neat way to stop things becoming too convoluted, although I do hope the final product offers a little more complexity than is present in this teaser.
Phil has been writing for PC Gamer for nearly a decade, starting out as a freelance writer covering everything from free games to MMOs. He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
