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 get their hands on the game from the Steam store page on April 24, 2025.
The studio has also been hard at work with a movie, acting as a prequel to the story in Detective Dotson, which will also be released on steam along with the game!
Players will get a chance to interact with a world in which vibrant 2D meets 3D, become the master of disguises and solve the cases to reveal the answer to the overreaching mystery - What happened to Dotson's father?
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. The game will also support the Steam Deck on launch.
