Detective Dotson Has Finally Arrived on PC

Solve the Mystery in Detective Dotson

Masala Games has launched its first game, Detective Dotson, now out on PC. It is a mystery adventure set in a vibrant version of modern India, where you play as the titular protagonist, a daydreaming actor turned reluctant detective. The game is part of the Xbox Developer Acceleration Program and is currently available on Steam, with a Microsoft Store release coming soon. It also works on the Steam Deck. Steam features like achievements will be added by May 1.

“After three years in development, we’re finally ready to bring Detective Dotson into the world,” says Shalin Shodhan, Founder and CEO of Masala Games. “India is missing from gaming culture and we are on a mission to fix that with projects like Detective Dotson. It’s a celebration of our beautiful, funny and ever adventurous homeland — India.”

More content is on the way after launch, including new story chapters, mini-games, fresh locations, and a co-op mode. These updates will be free and included in the base game, with co-op arriving on PC and consoles later this year.

“We want to be sensitive to how customers view pricing to ensure value,” says Shalin Shodhan. “This made us realise that $15 would be a fair price at launch. And while we have more content slated post-release, we may consider a price hike at that time. For now though, Detective Dotson will be $15. As always we welcome your feedback and support.”

Masala Games plans to release Xbox Series X|S versions of the game with Xbox Play Anywhere support, along with PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2 versions later this year. The launch of the Detective Dotson game also lines up with the release of its movie. You can watch it on Masala Games’ official YouTube channel.
