A story driven adventure game set in modern day India. That’s how Detective Dotson describes itself, and those following the gamedev scene in India will know that this is a risky concept that not a lot of Indian studios would be willing to take up.
Masala Games, the studio behind Detective Dotson, is not afraid to put its Indian roots on full display. In fact, the star of the game is not Dotson, but the Indian city that he is living in. I wasn’t able to catch the name of the city, and was able to see signboards in three different Indian languages, but seeing how Dotson’s ambition is to become a Bollywood star, it’s safe to assume that the city is inspired by Mumbai.
As the name of the game suggests, you play as a detective, who has to go around the city and solve various cases.
