Our accessibility experts are yet to assess The Darkside Detective. If you'd like to suggest accessibility features we should record for The Darkside Detective, let us know on Twitter or via email. You can also Tweet, to invite the developer to complete our accessibility questionnaire.The Darkside Detective is a point-and-click adventure with a British sensibility where you take on investigations as Detective Francis McQueen. Play is the usual combining of objects and moving from location to location, but unlike similar games the humour is understated and the puzzles are always logical. It stands out for its Dirk Gently vibe that steers it in interesting narrative and crime-solving directions.
