Detective Mystery Game Detective Dotson Announces Animated Film

Independent game developer Masala Games has revealed that its upcoming cosy mystery game for PC and Xbox Series X|S, Detective Dotson will have an animated film.

Made in Unreal Engine 5, Detective Dotson: The Movie is a companion piece to the upcoming game that focuses on the titular Dotson — an aspiring Bollywood star turned reluctant detective — and his friends as they unravel a plot that threatens the entire nation. It also features an original, authentic OST made in collaboration with Nikhil Rao of Indian Ocean — known as the pioneers of Indian Rock in the subcontinent.

Like the game, the movie has the same stylised 2D-meets-3D rendition of modern-day India. Detective Dotson is the vision of former EA alumni (Spore) and Oscar-winning Pixar artist (Toy Story 3, Brave), Shalin Shodhan.

“While we envisioned Detective Dotson as a game, we felt its world and characters were also a great fit for a feature-length movie — it’s something we planned for from day one,” says Shalin Shodhan, Founder and CEO of Masala Games. “This is our labour of love and we hope you enjoy the adventures of Dotson and friends.”

As for the game itself, Detective Dotson takes place after the events of the movie. It 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 wishlist the game from the Steam store page right now.
