It also happens to be the sequel to a game that was offered in early December. So know you’ll have both. Nice.
Do you enjoy puzzles and puns?
If so, you’re going to love this week’s Epic Games mobile freebie.
The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark places you in the shoes of Detective Francis McQueen and his sidekick, Officer Patrick Dooley, who are men on a mission to solve the strange mysteries plaguing Twin Lakes, the 34th-most haunted city in America.
Full of quirky humor, your investigations will take you to various locations, from a carnival, to a retirement home, and even an amateur wrestling competition, all with peculiar characters to probe (with questions) and puzzles to solve.
Can you get to the bottom of Twin Lake’s strange goings on? It’s time to find out…
And if the name sounds familiar, it might be because you grabbed the original Darkside Detective when it was being given away by Epic back in December.
