Detective Dotson

Detective Dotson is a mystery game set on the colorful streets of modern India. You investigate cases as Detective Dotson, starting with what seems like an ordinary assignment and uncovering a connection to your father’s sudden passing.

Investigate the cases

You solve four cases that grow in complexity and lead to a final mystery tying them together. More than 50 characters have their own secrets, needs and personalities. You can charm or outwit them, catch them red-handed, and build relationships that may change the outcome.

Explore the city

The hand-crafted city blends 2D and 3D art styles. You pass food carts, dance stages and busy bazaars, where street corners can hold leads, useful items or unexpected encounters.

Trade and gather clues

You buy items such as incense sticks, street food and Bollywood memorabilia, then barter and trade them to open conversations and gather information. Mini-games around the city include street cricket and Bollywood dance-offs. Winning can improve your bargaining power and sometimes provide vital clues.
