Detective Dotson is a mystery adventure game set in a stylised rendition of modern-day India that puts players in the role of Dotson, a reluctant detective. Players can wishlist the game from the Steam store page right now. A demo for the game is out on Steam as well.

The Detective Dotson demo has players solving:
 

  • The Mystery of Mrs. Sengupta's FOMO-mergency: in the case of why your aunty was blacklisted from her kitty party.

  • Parth’s Pigeon discover why your best friend is being harassed by a band of avian annoyances.
     

You’ll interact with a vibrant 2D meets 3D world, try out new disguises and take on new side-quests. While the demo has a slice of what to expect, the full release is a substantially bigger experience.
 
Developed in Unity, the game features controller support and an original OST made in collaboration with Nikhil Rao of Indian Ocean, pioneers of Indian fusion rock.
