Like Twin Peaks? The X-Files? VIDEO GAMES? Then You Will Love This.

[@Nightman221k]

The Darkside Detective and the sequel have quickly become two of my favorite adventure games. I love Dooley and McQueen so much. I'd watch a movie/tvseries about them. The best part of the humor is how it's primarily personality driven. I like how Dooley's a conspiracy theorist and a lovable himbo; and McQueen always tries to be serious (but only manages to be faux-serious), loyal to his buddy, and steadfast in the face of ridiculousness. The secondary cast leaves an impression too and I like seeing recurring characters show up in other cases, especially the Bloodwolves and Tam.

[@Briarcastle]

I'd love some comics about the their adventures, at least!

[@liavilore5910]

Same here! Plus the French traduction was top and I laughed so hard on the puns of the case's files!

[@cannibalisticrequiem]

Always love when we get a Roses adventure game review! 😊 Especially when we get original character voices too! (My favorite is always The Sultry French Maid, bonus points if her name is Fifi!) Watching this video, I have to say there was one line of game dialouge that cracked me up that I will be incorporating into my daily vocabulary, and that is, "Tam has no warmth for you in his heart." 🤣

[@jeremyfrost2636]

I liked that one, too.

[@draculaman]

So good to see you do an adventure game review again!

[@euansmith3699]

"Darkside Detective: I can't wait to play the sequel" would be a great game title.

[@Awakeandalive1]

The sequel is also wonderful, even if the cases do stretch on a bit overlong toward the end. And they haven't completed the "bonus" acts you're supposed to unlock as you play.

[@ponypete]

I played it and aside from everything you've already said, I especially liked the structure with the smaller cases. Other adventure games can be hard to get back into if you haven't been able to play them for a week or two, but with this one, you can just snack up on one case and come back later for the others without having to remember tons of characters and locations. also big YAY for more adventure game content.

[@catsareevil101]

Oh, This is a great series! good to see it get a signal boost. They still have a bonus chapters to release for the second game, so more to look forward too!

[@arturmical]

I almost never play adventure games nowadays, they require too much engagement from me and I have too little time, but you always make them sound so fun and the excitement and god vibes that come from your reviews always make me smile and have a lot of fun while watching or listening to you.

[@edisonlima4647]

This game is really funny and every investigation is extremely short, so you might want to give it a try!

[@zenithquasar9623]

This game's puzzles are so basic, just play it for the story and the pay off. The dialogue is so fun!

[@alexandredesbiens-brassard9109]

This game is made of individual cases, and each case takes about 20 minutes. It's perfect if you just want to relax for a half-hour between chores. Sit back, laugh you heart out, then close the game and leave with a smile on your face.

[@j.k.hauser5492]

This game is a wonderfully witty romp that I discovered on sale on the switch store when I was looking for something spooky to play. So glad you enjoyed it and hope you cover the sequel in your inimitable style.

[@FormulaXFD]

The music has that really warm lofi feel while being that sort-of-creepy ambient feel.

[@zenithquasar9623]

It soo great at setting up the mood!

[@zenithquasar9623]

Omg, yes! The puzzles are too simple but this is one of the most charming adventure games I played in the recent years! I love the dialogue and the atmosphere!

[@ywatoda7870]

So great to see you doing an adventure game!

[@meursault7030]

Yeeees I'm an old fan so this likely gonna be very nostalgic for me to watch

[@DKarkarov]

You know Roses Ken and Roberta Williams are officially remaking Collosal Cave one of the original text based adventure games. I know you were a big fan of their work.

[@Pingwn]

I love all of your videos but I did miss your adventure games reviews and I was happy to see this one. I would love to try this game myself, hope you will enjoy the sequel!

[@stofosaurus]

Yay! PUR is back with an adventure game! Can't wait for more on the sequel.

[@mirjanbouma]

I really enjoy hearing you talk enthusiastically about retro(-feel) games, PUR! I'm happy you did another one

[@MistressMillion]

I missed your adventure game reviews 💜 so good to see you dipping toes into that sea every once in a while

[@TheLazysketcher]

Okay, i bought it and i must say, it REALLY is beginners first adventure game! Ive never played a point-and-click adventure game where you just GET an item you need in order to progress the story! Everything is just there for the taking! Usually you have to go through some really tricky puzzles or trading quest to get the one thing you need, you know, moon logic. Also, i constantly felt this game could have been darker. It has such a cozy atmosphere that i really wish there was more of a mystery angle to this game, but no one is surprised about anything. "Dimensional doorways in the attic and goblins? Nothing out of the ordinary here!"? There really is no grounding these characters!

[@WRONGODONGO]

Roses! What a breath of fresh air. I've been missing your gaming content so much. Is there any chance that you'll come back to the Quest for Glory series? I would love to see your take on Shadows of Darkness. 🦑

[@pissqueendanniella4688]

It's nice to see you doing another adventure game review. Your channel has grown a lot and that's been great to watch but you have a taste in adventure games that really vibes with me 🖤🖤 i also want to say that I love that skeleton kitty "hang in there" poster in the background 😹💀😻

[@Panda_Roll]

4:49 oh. my. GOD! The ghost with the black hat in the library, it's called PRATCHETT!!!!!!!!!!! Always happy to see a Terry Pratchett reference in the wild :D

[@mathieuleader8601]

it would be really cool if in part two of Maggie Mae Fish's retrospective on Twin Peaks if she was streaming this game

[@nutstothis]

It is I, the lone sliding tile puzzle enjoyer! I am the reason they keep putting those in adventure games. Bwa ha ha ha ha! These are my absolute favourite modern adventure games. I'm glad you loved it too, and I hope you enjoy the sequel!

[@RunplaysinHD]

That's how modern developers see the video games of late 80s and 90s :) In fact, they are overpixelated, the games of 90s hadnt so big pixels, they had much more detailed backgrounds. This looks like Atari 2600, but there were almost no adventure games on Atari

[@lunondisposable5382]

If you want a truly funny game, I highly recommend West of Loathing and (to a slightly lesser extent) Shadows Over Loathing. Some of the best writing I've ever seen in video games, and not just comedy.

[@justsomeguy28]

Yaaaas! I just got this series on the switch recently! Great atmosphere for this game. I've also recently discovered Quest for Infamy, which is nicely scratching my Sierra point and click itch ^_^

[@cr8torscurse]

I was JUST going through your adventure game backlog last week and wondering when you'd do another one!! Timely as ever.

[@laragallahue7127]

Yes I been waiting for you to cover this game!

[@Entertainer13]

I am SO HAPPY to know my brother and I were not the only ones who did our own voice work for games we played. We would choose characters and just go for it. Love your work!

[@lollypop123452]

One of my favourite youtubers doing a video on one of my favourite games...YAASSS!

[@MaMastoast]

I'll certainly look into this... I've gotta say, I really miss your gaming focused content, it's partly your let's plays and reviews that got me into point and click adventure games.

[@lunarwench]

Haven't even watched this yet, but SO EXCITED to! I love your review videos, and this looks like a banger. Also, unrelated, but I would watch you do commentary/review vids for every single episode of Murder She Wrote. I love going on those rides along with you! Have a gorgeous day, starting the video now :D

[@brain301]

Would love to see a long play on this 😉

[@Leo-sd3jt]

I've started playing this recently and, while watching this video, I realized that I've been playing more point and click adventure games than I've ever played as a kid. Virtuaverse, 2064: Read Only Memories, Darkside Detective, Gemini Rue, etc. It's amazing how much stuff is available now! Also the remastered version of the Blade Runner adventure game came out the other day. Anyways, I love your channel because I love mysteries and adventure games so thanks for making all of this content!

[@sneeson]

Not sure if you've seen FARSCAPE, but your vocals for Spider are a dead ringer for Raxil. Loved it.

[@RockedNet]

3:48 best British impression ever.

[@nerdyespurr]

Reasons why you should play Fumble in the Dark 1: You can find Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger on a date. And Michael Myers is the waiter.

[@stefanbabicz357]

It's interesting to see you come back to game reviews. I first followed you after you did a crossover video with LGR, way back years ago. Loved the rest of your content (especially the Nickelodeon shows), but it's great to see you come back full circle.

[@mildlycornfield]

Ah, I've had my eye on this game for a while! Glad to see it gets your seal of approval!!

[@zandernewson9933]

So glad you are doing gaming videos again. Don’t get me wrong, the tv stuff is awesome, but when I think PUR, I think 90s point and click adventures.

[@goodkiller93]

I'm so glad you're still making Adventure Game videos, even though you largely focus on nostalgic TV now (not in a bad way! I love both types). I recently binged your King's Quest retrospective series, and I was hoping for a return to the genre.

[@grillbyicon8853]

OH MY GOD! Thank you it’s been so long since I’ve seen anyone talk about this! It needs more recognition

[@grillbyicon8853]

The squeal is awesome and gives you a bunch of bonus cases

[@patrickc6785]

So happy you got to do an adventure game again! It was what got me subscribed to your channel originally (besides hearing that my old high school classmate knew you, Derek from SSFF!). I know it takes more time to create gaming content, but you have a completely different passion about the topics you interact in, versus the ones you merely watch. Thank you for rejuvenating my love for your channel. Loves from Alaska!

[@shaunoconnor7971]

So glad you found this game, and that you made a video! I remember playing the intro case on Kongregate, and fell in love right away. It's a perfect blend of retro point-and-click art and mechanics, great writing, and fantastic writing and references.

[@jessie3268]

Also yes growing up with sierra adventure games gets you in the habit of saving in several slot. I even use to make numbered subfolders so I could use the "change directory" option.

[@AdsOfSteelGaming]

Brilliant voice acting lol! I did a full Eastward playthrough voice acted. It was an exhausting decision to follow through with 🤣

[@MorganOliver77]

I love your adventure game reviews! The TV stuff is good too but OG PushingUpRoses gives me good vibes.

[@Vulpas]

You're reviewing a detective game?! Thanks! Please do more of these!

[@guybrushmonkey97]

These are definitely comedy games above all else! Really good microadventures

[@sillygoose6253]

I almost forgot I picked these up dirt cheap a while back and still have yet to play them. Love games that tickle my 90s nostalgia.

[@cletusnifler3503]

Unavowed was the reason I found your channel. I think if someone asks what adventure game should I play, I’d say Unavowed.

[@FearNLoathing0]

You've introduced me to many good games, can't wait to try this out! Thanks for all the excellent game reviews you do!

[@fungiplays2289]

YES! I loved this game and was hoping you'd be reviewing it some day :)

[@Nessmith11]

I’d love to see a PUR and LGR voice over lets play of the Darkside Detective!

[@RantingThespian]

I'd watch a video of the two of them doing ANYTHING together, lol.

[@jaysonspirtos7313]

Thank you so much for recommending this one. I had so much fun finishing it up and can't believe that there's bonus cases. So worth the time!

[@Awakeandalive1]

Love this series! I even love that they made no effort to "Americanize" their game set in America so it's full of Irish-isms. XD

[@TheAggroCraig]

Nice to see you reviewing an adventure game again! As PC games were a huge blind spot for me, I went down a rabbit hole watching your old reviews back when I first subbed, and seeing this made me nostalgic for the mutant spider screech from your Fable review!😂

[@TheyLoveThemLLC]

what a joy to be able to watch two new Roses videos tonight!!! ❤ Blessed channel always makes me so happy!

[@tiaxanderson9725]

While I'm subscribed to a number of channels that point out mistakes in all kinds of things. I always enjoy someone gushing about something they're passionate about, no need to apologize!

[@Sakrysta]

I found you because of That Time on Murder She Wrote, and I don’t care a whit about games like this, but I watch pretty much every video you release because I find them witty and well-produced. To be honest, your game reviews sometimes make me want to try the game, until my self-awareness kicks in and I remember that I don’t like computer games. 😂

[@FrozenGuineaPig]

I played this last year and loved it sooooo much. I'm so glad to see you covering it.

[@Drumox]

Glad to see games back on your radar. It's a big part of why my wife and I started watching your content and buying the art. Came for the games, stayed for the super talented and funny Roses

[@danofthedead3345]

I've really enjoyed your non-gaming content but it's awesome to see you talking about games again. Really loved this game, gotta go play the sequel!

[@UndertakerNeverDies]

This made me think of the comic book character Constantine except a more comedic version of him. Mainly because the main character looks like Constantine and the fact he investigates cases dealing with the supernatural.

[@onlytaru]

these have never been my type of games and i dont play much games in general, but the title of the video and its contents have me sold. LOVE twin peaks and the X-files, definately going to try this out.

[@Pianoslave1]

I was just rewatching all your adventure game videos so this is perfect timing

[@thefinegameofnil7158]

Missed your adventure game reviews PUR, glad you're back to them :)

[@linusdiomedes83]

Ever since the first video I watched, the flair you add is always enjoyable. Especially to the point and click games, for some reason I would always get stuck and have to wait for a walk though of sorts.

[@laurenkrewson9019]

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for introducing me to this game. I bought both games based on your recommendation and have had such a blast playing both. I've been genuinely looking forward to starting new cases and I can't believe how much I love Dooley.

[@alexandredesbiens-brassard9109]

Oh my god yes! This game is awesome and I'm so happy someone I follow is talking about it! Officer Dooley alone is worth the price of admission.

[@RantingThespian]

Yay! The sole reason why I'm still subscribed to your channel! Definitely going to be checking out this game. Thanks Sarah!

[@lilithklebold6196]

Seriously I saw Dale Cooper and clicked on this so fast. I'm currently rewatching Twin Peaks. I had forgotten David Duchovny was on the show too

[@thernn14]

Roses reviewing an adventure game?! Man, life is good.

[@morank3]

Woohoo! Glad to see Spooky Doorway get some love, DD is great and indeed a perfect entry point to adventure games.

[@SuperDropsX]

Oh man, so glad you discovered these! So good.

[@Mandrake42]

I thoroughly enjoyed both these games. The writing is funny, the banter between the detective and Dooley is a lot of fun, the puzzles feel balanced and not unfair. I am glad you liked it. You will definitely like the second one too as I felt it was that good kind of sequel that improves on what the first got right/ Have you played Inspector Waffles? If you liked this series you will definitely enjoy that game, it has the same spirit, only without the supernatural stuff!

[@Ryanookami]

I’ve been faithfully watching your videos for… oh. A very long time now… I think the first thing I watched with you was an LP with Paw, and this certainly makes me feel nostalgic. Do not get me wrong, I also love the content you’re producing now, as I love MSW and Columbo, and just all the classic mystery shows, but… do you ever think you might do an LP again? This one looks like it would be fun, or I recall you doing a review about a very Laura Bow inspired demo that takes place at a lodge in Canada (iirc), so maybe if that one ever gets finished? I still go back and watch your LPs with Paw and LGR when I’m feeling down and want a good chuckle. No matter what though, I absolutely adore all the content you put out and will continue so long as you’re making stuff. Thank you for being so consistently watchable for so many years. You’ve always been so unique and special to me and watching your videos never fails to make me smile.

[@TirOrah]

This one's been on my wishlist for a while. Although I haven't seen either Twin Peaks or The X-Files, this seems like a good pick for me! I *adored* Unavowed and I'm glad there are more easy adventure games for a clueless newbie like me to get stuck into.

[@MrLittleGodzilla]

You do fantastic work you've actually got me into alot of point and click games I missed over the years! Thankyou for doing what you do and making this content.

[@eric-rm4zv]

I miss the old adventure game reviews, it's good to see your still playing

[@RatJam]

YES!! I absolutely love Darkside Detective and I'm so happy you enjoyed it too :)

[@RetroWasteLand81]

I can’t wait to check this one out? I understand the direction you took your channel, but I really miss your old content.

[@sofiarodriguez6768]

Thank you so much for covering this game. Absolutely sold me on it!

[@2HeadedHero]

I missed your adventure game reviews! Glad to see it

[@EllieLunaTrca]

Yay! Woke up to a Roses video ! 💕💕💕 Love your content Madame so very bingeable !

[@adityasanthanam1945]

It is great to see you back, I hope you are well. It is great to see more video game videos, as I first found the channel from the LGR gaming videos (I would love to see more of you together). I still very much enjoy the film/television/Murder She Wrote videos, so I hope those continue as well (and maybe even some Columbo episode review videos).

[@H4CK41D]

love it. im literally subbed for your awesome adventure game reviews and your channel could grow a lot if you did them more

[@thcollegestudent]

It was so delightful to see you do a game review again

[@poisonedsodapop]

I'm glad to see you do a video on this game. I loved the first game so much I jumped on the kickstarter for the second one the instant it was up.

[@schtoltenheimreinbach7312]

Love to see you talking about adventure games again! Mo' please!

[@Gigawolf1]

I played this a few years ago, and I'd forgotten just how cool it was. It's awesome to see you cover it! Now I've gotta check if I have the sequel or not

[@avosmash2121]

These videogame reviews are like a warm slice of cherry pie and a cup of damn good coffee. They just brighten my whole day.

[@Celticelery]

A petition to stop slider puzzles in adventures games? You have my axe! Or signature, whatever. Speaking of retro adventure games, have you played Heroine's Quest? It's on Steam, and is free. It's an homage and love-letter to old Sierra On-line adventure games - specifically the Quest For Glory series.

[@tetsuv]

there is a movie called Malice in wonderland which I really loved, its about an American college student who is hit by a taxi and suffers memory loss and goes through the criminal underworld in North East England. The settings and character are all based on Alice in wonderland and I was surprised how good it was. Anyway you've sold me on this game and I am going to have to get it

[@samwill7259]

Hey, new subscriber here (sorta subscribed at a bad time on another youtuber's recommendation right at the beginning of the 2 month gap XD). Your presentation and "voice acting" for lack of a better term are phenomenal, you're light and bubbly and really engaging to listen to. Nothing else much to say, I'm just glad I stuck around during the wait.

[@zooropa04]

YAY, another adventure game review! Always love your take on these.

[@c.argelfraster1291]

Yay, a new Roses game review! Today just got a lot better.

[@victorialeigh9127]

Big fan of your channel!! I love your child horror show episodes, but I also dig these point and click game reviews! Keep it up!

[@quixoticraven4242]

This looks like fun! I like playing short, fun games between the big, intense, time consuming ones, so this sounds like something I’d enjoy! I do love your videos about Murder, She Wrote but I also really like your game reviews.

[@somethingrighteous]

The Art style reminds me a lot of The Last Door, which is always a positive!
