Windows screenshots

thumbnail — Introduction to the first case: during the months after Dooley's disappearance, McQueen has been searching for him...

thumbnail — Emily of the Bloodwolves (local scouts) has very a particular idea of police methods...

thumbnail — Entrance to the switchboard building. The psychic (I guess you can tell her by her Gypsy-like clothes) had promised McQueen that she can help him find Dooley.

thumbnail — Mr Wang, already known from the first game, is now selling his suspicious wares here...

thumbnail — The local cookie place is also a cult. Totally unsurprising in Twin Lakes, the... 23rd, if I remember well? - most haunted city in America.

thumbnail — After finding Soviet tech for the junkyard worker (who seems to be a communist because she calls McQueen "comrade"), you also need a manual.

thumbnail — This is how the switchboard minigame works. Form given shapes out of the five wires and you can call a few different places on the Darkside.

thumbnail — McQueen has assembled a whole pinboard of clues possibly connected to Dooley's disappearance...

thumbnail — Kitchen in the retirement home.

thumbnail — Dooley and McQueen are going to Ireland, as Dooley's old nanny told him...

thumbnail — In the quite tiny and poor harbour in Ireland...

thumbnail — This is Dooley's coming of age ceremony, and his family supposedly descends from the druids.

thumbnail — Dooley can't understand how could people get ice before refrigerators were invented...

thumbnail — The sun altar in the Dooley family castle. Dooley and McQueen now have to find the sneaky O'Dooleys who stole the sunstone.

thumbnail — Notice the panting of the room in the painting of the room...

thumbnail — Some really old technology for rebooting the Sun. ;)

thumbnail — There's a family of con artists living on the bottom of the well...

thumbnail — One of the prize-winning games in the amusement park.

thumbnail — McQueen and Dooley have not been very successful in fixing the mechanical elephant...

thumbnail — Tesla is a very off-putting person in the game, I don't think he was that bad and hung-up about his discoveries in real life...

thumbnail — Of course, someone from the Darkside was behind all the disappearances at the funfair!

thumbnail — Pox the clown is making kidnapped people undergo trials in the creepy Darkside funfair...

thumbnail — This man supposedly owes it to Dooley. But why exactly - I accidentally skipped the explanation because of my mouse's tendency to perform double clicks when my finger makes a single click...

thumbnail — We have to find the right piece of footage from the Darkside funfair to learn what really happened to Shingles the clown..

thumbnail — The mechanical fish lab is connecting to the mainframe...

thumbnail — Hacking the mainframe is done as a very fun logic maze kind of minigame.

thumbnail — Don't we know this boy from somewhere?...

thumbnail — Generally, I didn't like this episode - too many semi-naked men and male demons, yuck... ;)

thumbnail — Strange tremors start happening during the high school reunion... and that's the reason!

thumbnail — It seems that Dooley's year on the Darkside wasn't as uneventful as he first said...

thumbnail — The plan is to, with help from Professor Timeloop's time machine, get the demon back as small as he was before he started working out...

thumbnail — And this would be all. We should now wait for release of the bonus cases - and perhaps even, in the future, "Darkside Detective 3"?...

thumbnail — The first bonus case was released for Christmas 2021. McQueen and Dooley are having holiday dinner when they are suddenly called to investigate a case and that's what they find...

thumbnail — A spoiler which is not really a spoiler because it's said even in the trailer: in this case McQueen has to die - well, not permanently, but he has to separate his soul from his body...

thumbnail — ...to be able to travel to the other side and then through time.

thumbnail — The red portal leads to the age of the dinosaurs (nothing wrong with that, but I protest when - in "Putt-Putt Travels Through Time", for example - paleontology is considered a part of history).

thumbnail — Almost present time - the switchboard building before it was demolished soon after the events of the first case.

thumbnail — Around 1000 AD - Native Americans are jamming with the Vikings. ;)

thumbnail — Dooley has a hard time standing still over McQueen's body - and if he spills the "glue" which holds the body and the soul together, McQueen won't be able to come back...

thumbnail — The human prehistoric time - the cavemen built a temple to the Sun on the northern side of the hill, so McQueen needs to cheat and shine a torch towards the cave entrance instead...

thumbnail — The second bonus case was introduced in April 2022. This time a full-fledged small adventure, not a tiny one like the second bonus case from "Darkside Detective 1".

thumbnail — A puzzle minigame from the second case.

thumbnail — In the final 3-in-1 bonus case, you get to play as Chief Ghouley from the Brightside Division.

thumbnail — Looks very bright for a Darkside beach, but at least it has monsters. ;)

thumbnail — Just like in the first case, check all the dead ends. They are fun! Here Ghouley and McScream are sent to McKing's party.

thumbnail — Ekhm... don't we know this criminal mastermind from somewhere? (Hint: first game, first case.)

thumbnail — In the last part of the 3-in-1 bonus case, we play as Raxa and the episode is largely spent in cyberspace.

thumbnail — The cyberspace library (another addition to my collection of library screenshots from games ;)).

thumbnail — These sceneries look really amazing. I was impressed already by the pyramid exterior view, but it faded compared to the rooms inside...

thumbnail — A cyberspace puzzle rather similar to the one in case four.
