    Too blocky, too easy, too short and too demanding to be good. But the game offers some good music and a couple of laughs.

    It's funny, but after a few episodes not that much anymore. It also lacks anything aspiring to greatness, but I do recommend these bite-size pieces to all fans of the genre.

    If you love British comedies like Blackadder and surreal mysteries like Twin Peaks, The Darkside Detective is a retro-styled supernatural adventure game you don’t want to miss.

    A smart but simple adventure that's exactly the right kind of spooky. It's short, but superb. More please. [Nov 2017, p.81]
