Press release:
Seattle – April 6, 2021.
Video game music label and publisher Materia Collective has released the soundtrack for “The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark“, produced by Thomas O’Boyle.

The 33-track album features a variety of detective drama-inspired music as well as power ballads, horror scores, powerful wrestling themes, and more. The official game soundtrack is available on the following platforms.

Picking up after the events of The Darkside Detective, this sequel sees protagonist McQueen save his usually-present sidekick Officer Dooley from the Darkside, so the two can get back to what they do best – investigating the city’s many strange, often paranormal, always paradoxical goings-on.

“I drew inspiration from a range of areas from 80s horror movies to detective dramas such as Twin Peaks to power ballads. I wanted to evoke a kind of 80s-style noir affair but it was important that there be a subtle silliness bubbling beneath the surface,” said Thomas O’Boyle.

“The overall diversity is something I’m hugely proud of given that I intentionally limited myself to a relatively narrow range of instruments.”

The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark is available to purchase on Steam.
