From Press Release:
LOS ANGELES, CA – December 9, 2025 – Spooky Doorway alongside Akupara Games announced their newest point-and-click adventure, The Darkside Detective: Backside of the Moon, during the 2025 Unity Awards showcase. Detective McQueen and Officer Dooley are back from their sabbatical, and although they miss their midday mimosas and suntanning on the beach, crime never sleeps, and neither does McQueen (we’re prescribing him Melatonin, god help us it works).
Follow six never before seen cases, where our dream(y) team is back and more ready than ever to put the zing in Van Helsing although… this time around, there are no vampire stories… that we know of. Still, our heroes swore a vow to serve and protect so they will explore, gather, combine, point AND click their way through whatever comes their way. Keep an eye out for werewolves, cursed items, rituals, treasure hunts, and perhaps the most terrifying monster of all – rich people!

You’d think that after 20+ cases, there’d be no crime left in Twin Lakes – but that’s not how crime works, rookie. Six new mind-melting mysteries await Detective McQueen and Officer Dooley – just as soon as they get the mustard out of Dooley’s gun.
