Introduction

Welcome to The Darkside Detective Season: A Fumble in the Dark trophy walkthrough!
Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark is the 2021 sequel to the 2017 point and click adventure game The Darkside Detective, developed by Spooky Doorway ported to PS4. You still play as Detective McQueen as he continues to investigate supernatural goings-on, all connected to the mysterious Darkside, as well as search for information about his partner Dooley’s missing year.

A Fumble in the Dark is a good follow up to the original, and still has a lot of fun dialogue that can be accessed by just fooling around in the game. You cannot mess up your progress in the game, so feel free to explore to find all of the jokes. But if you’re just in it for the trophies, I have written a walkthrough you can follow below for the base game, Ghosts Of Christmas Passed DLC, Thunderbird DLC, and the, Tales from the Darkside DLC.

Video guides of this walkthrough are fine as long as I am credited in the video and the guide linked!

Tips and Strategies

The interaction icon is always a looking glass, unless it’s for talking to someone. I’ll still use the verbs “look at” and “pick up”, even though the icon is the same.

To use items, you need to hold on them and drag them to where you want to use them. Otherwise he’ll just look at the item in his inventory.

A full written text walkthrough is provided below, and if you enjoy my work, please consider donating to my Ko-fi.

Welcome to the Thunderbird DLC trophy walkthrough!

Video guides of this walkthrough are fine as long as I am credited in the video and the guide linked!

Tips and Strategies

The interaction icon is always a looking glass, unless it’s for talking to someone. I’ll still use the verbs “look at” and “pick up”, even though the icon is the same.

To use items, you need to hold on them and drag them to where you want to use them. Otherwise he’ll just look at the item in his inventory.

A full written text walkthrough is provided below, and if you enjoy my work, please consider donating to my Ko-fi.
