The Darkside Detective adventures live in my heart. @spookydoorway.bsky.social nailed the perfect combination of humor and sweetness. And also monsters. Also the Coffee Talk crossover is perfect.

Hi there, thanks for checking out the trailer. Mortville Manor isn't one of our inspirations, but obviously we share a lot of visual reference with its creators since it's set in a Victorian house. Some of our main points of reference are Hotel Dusk, Obra Dinn, The Outer Wilds and Gone Home.
