Detective Dotson

An adventure in the most interesting place on Earth – modern-day India! Solve mysteries in the cozy alleys behind the colorful temples. Find clues and complete an evidence board to solve each case. Engage with an array of characters as vibrant as India itself. It's an uplifting adventure with Bollywood dance-offs aplenty. Food, festivals, and family weddings – we've got all the fun parts of India covered.

Every case centers around an evidence board; think of it like a sentence, but all the nouns (clues) are missing! Explore the world, find the clues, and then fit them logically to complete the sentence. You can go anywhere and talk to anyone, especially if you pick the right disguise. Pick up a nearby object and throw it to get out of a jam.  With objects everywhere, use them to chase away dogs, disable cameras, or just pick up trash and throw it at the litterer for some cash and catharsis! Dotson never wanted to be a detective. That was his dad's thing. Dotson wants to be an actor in Bollywood – he's great with costumes! But after Dad's mysterious death, he must play. the. part.
