Is it still worth playing?

A point and click adventure developed by Spooky Doorway, published by Akupara Games and released in 2017. You play Detective Francis McQueen, who leads the Darkside Division of the police in the city of Twin Lakes, with his partner Patrick Dooley at his side. The division takes the cases nobody else will, from paranormal events to occult mysteries, and each of the six cases is a self contained story with case names such as Buy Hard. The humor is satirical and leans on pop culture references. The cases take around five to six hours, which still suits a game that wants to be finished in a weekend with a smile on your face.
