Akupara Games is adding The Darkside Detective 2 and its predecessor to their library of games according to a press release on Tuesday. Akupara Games is already known for publishing indie games such as Mutazione and Rain World. Through a publishing deal, they now also publish The Darkside Detective, a pixelated, quirky take on horror and mystery. This deal will give The Darkside Detective new opportunities, including ports to new platforms.
The Darkside Detective released in 2017 to some fairly positive critic reviews, but its true value seemed to be found by players. It currently has 94% positive reviews on Steam out of hundreds of reviews total. It’s highly regarded for its humor, but it’s short playthrough time seemed to put some people off. The Darkside Detective 2 will hopefully be able to bring a fuller experience while keeping up with the original game’s personality.
