Sometimes it's not the bomb that's retarded.

Let's play The Darkside Detective



https://store.steampowered.com/app/368390/The_Darkside_Detective/

In the moderately fine city of Twin Lakes "spooky crap" happens daily, but only one person shows up to investigate. Detective Francis McQueen walks the line between ghosts and demons, and the constant threat of his division's closure. Often, he walks that line together with Officer Dooley, who is there mainly for the pay and free loot.

The Darkside Detective series currently features 16 cases of ever-increasing complexity, because parts of the fanbase keep demanding harder puzzles and more moon logic. Also, apparently, it has "Music from Ben Prunty, the audiomancer behind gems such as Into the Breach, Subnautica, and FTL." Sounds nice!

CASE 1.1: MALICE IN WONDERLAND



CASE 1.2: TOME ALONE



CASE 1.3: DISORIENT EXPRESS



CASE 1.4: POLICE FARCE



CASE 1.5: LOCH MESS



CASE 1.6: DON OF THE DEAD



CASE 1.7: BUY HARD



CASE 1.8: POLTERGUYS



CASE 1.9: BAITS MOTEL

It's time to maybe find Dooley!



Still not sure if the location puzzle has a definitive answer, not involving guesswork.

We get more Dooley lore! That should brighten the day a little.

Dooley's family has weird but important traditions.

I'm catching up from the episode I missed but that bit with the countdown and literally every character having dialogue for it was :discourse:
There's a secret scene at the well you can trigger during the countdown, too, apparently.

It's time for the clown show to get really weird!



Featuring a naked rear end.

The long-awaited bonus case is actually three cases, and one of them features downloading a naked photo of Dooley via dial-up.
