Grab your trench coat, tune your sixth sense and join the Darkside Division as they investigate the outright bizarre, the downright dangerous and the confusing cases of Twin Lakes. Flesh-hungry tentacles, mafian zombies, and the occasional missing sock are no match for The Darkside Detective.
Good news Darkside detectives, we've pushed an update to [i]The Darkside Detective[/i]!

As you may be aware, we recently released [i]The Darkside Detective[/i] on new platforms (e.g. [url=https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/the-darkside-detective/9nrwnjs7js6h?activetab=pivot:overviewtab]Xbox[/url], [url=https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP3385-CUSA26042_00-DARKSIDE1NAPS400]PS4, PS5[/url] & [url=https://stadia.google.com/store/details/b465998ccc1c48aaa2fb74f331ebbdd7rcp1/sku/9d8c8bb162b6477ca2f2e5ee89f62b15p]Stadia[/url]), as well as a sequel called [i][url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/795420/The_Darkside_Detective_A_Fumble_in_the_Dark/https://store.steampowered.com/app/795420/The_Darkside_Detective_A_Fumble_in_the_Dark/]The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark[/url][/i] (which is also available on [url=https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/the-darkside-detective-a-fumble-in-the-dark/9p0v3blgw7nx?activetab=pivot:overviewtab]Xbox[/url], [url=https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP3385-PPSA02564_00-DARKSIDE2NAPS500]PS4, PS5[/url], [url=https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/the-darkside-detective-a-fumble-in-the-dark-switch/]Switch[/url] and [url=https://stadia.google.com/store/details/4e9c4e089aa5410cbffb3c1869d68925rcp1/sku/31d2c4b062e34650aa2ca3037e030355p]Stadia[/url]) and as part of that development process, we made a bunch of improvements for stability and performance to the framework we've built for the [i]Darkside[/i] series. Now that the game has been out and stable on multiple platforms, we're delighted to bring all that work to the original game.
If you've had a fairly frictionless experience playing [i]The Darkside Detective[/i], you shouldn't notice much new, but over the few years the game has been out, some people have experienced bugs, and this new version should address those issues.
A complete changelist is:
[list]
[*] More stable save system, fixed many of the issues that in a small number of cases caused issues with saves becoming corrupted
[*] Added the option to save during gameplay
[*] Added gamepad control remapping
[*] Miscellaneous small gameplay fixes and visual improvements
[*] Improved performance
[*] Modernised architecture to improve maintainability
[*] Fixed gating issues in the bonus cases
[/list]
