Detective Dotson Steam Demo

The Detective Dotson demo has players solving the mysterious death of Detective Dotson's father. You'll chase down criminals, hunt for clues, create disguises, spy on foes, and recruit team members. While the demo has a slice of what to expect, the full release contains more episodes and is slated for release later this year.  Developed in Unity, the game features controller support, an original OST made in collaboration with Indian Ocean's Nikhil Rao, and would be accessible on a wide range of PCs thanks to relatively low system requirements.

"Detective Dotson is our love letter to modern day India," says Shalin Shodhan, Founder and CEO of Masala Games. "It's inspired by Bollywood and Indian crime dramas like CID complete with its own unique narrative. We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we did making it."
