### 1/5 — Lost all progress

*2024-08-30*

Lost all progress after zapping the chicken in carnival case.  I reopened the game and was back at the beginning, with no case progress at all.  I would have to replay for a day or 2 to get back to the point I was at.  I was enjoying the game until this point, but this ruined it for me.

**Developer response:** Hello, we're sorry to hear you encountered this issue. We're investigating on our end and hoping to find a solution quickly.

In the meantime, you can unlock all cases by holding the pi button down for 7 seconds!

### 3/5 — Fine

*2024-09-13*

The puzzles arent as tight or well directed as the first one and they cant stop promoting communism, constant heavy handed jokes about capitalism being bad are tiresome and dont fit with the game very well.

### 5/5 — Can’t get enough!

*2026-07-11*

Love these games immensely.. Please make more! Funny, clever, long games with a retro feel! 

Amazing!

### 5/5 — Funny and fun

*2026-05-01*

Loved this game and the others. Has a retro vibe and fun puzzles. I wish games like this got more reviews so creators can keep creating and get paid for it.

### 5/5 — Loved this so much! Part 3 please!!!

*2025-10-15*

Even better than part one which I enjoyed a lot. Was genuinely sad when the cases were complete! Yet again great original storyline, quirky characters, throwback pixelated design, just hard enough gameplay and even the witty/funny/cheesy jokes! Great value for money with much longer gameplay time than I expected. Highly recommend. Awesome job team can’t wait for the 3rd instalment.

### 5/5 — Love!

*2025-10-09*

I love both Darkside Detective games. I hope we get a new one soon. ☹️

### 5/5 — Think twice, code once.

*2025-04-30*

They put so much thought and care into this game. The jokes and level layout is top notch, this follow-up felt like a meatier extension of the first game and was incredibly enjoyable.  I don’t want to rush any of it and try to enjoy every screen.

### 5/5 — Meeeeeehr

*2025-03-28*

Irgendwie sind mir die 2 Teile von Darkside Detectives durchgerutscht. Nachdem ich sie vor einiger Zeit entdeckt hab, hab ich sie gleich mehrmals gespielt. Und dann ist was Blödes passiert….irgendwie hab ich mich in einen Zombie verwandelt, der anstatt mehr Gehirne, mehr Darkside Detectives will! Bisschen blöd, geb ich zu, aber so ist es nun mal

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-01-16*

I bought 1&2 they were so funny & were easy to play I enjoyed them, they are also very long games, worth the money for sure!

### 5/5 — Smart, witty great puzzles

*2024-11-18*

Great storytelling, amusing, neat puzzles. Utterly enjoyable. Such a generous game with content, sad to have completed everything now!

### 5/5 — Joguei os dois em uma semana

*2024-10-12*

Inesperadamente divertido!

### 5/5 — Funny dialogue & super long gameplay

*2024-09-09*

Very long gameplay, definitely worth the $. I Iost all game progress at one point after zapping the chicken in carnival case, but thankfully I saw the “hold down the pi button” fix in the developer’s response to my initial review. I redownloaded the game and this fix worked to unlock all cases, thanks!
