While I didn't find this second outing for Detective McQueen and Officer Dooley to be quite so compelling as the original, A Fumble in the Dark is another excellent point-and-click adventure. Puzzles for the most part have solutions that make reasonable sense (though there's still the occasional instance of 'moon-logic' making it worth having a guide to hand), the detailed pixelart is used to good effect and the writing is excellent throughout. Each scenario is somewhat more complex than the original game and with areas that satisfyingly interlock and develop, and the strength of the creative premises is a match for the game's high-quality writing. A game not to miss for any fans of the genre!
