For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Explore the colorful streets of modern India while you’re on the job! As you dive deeper into what seems to be a normal case for Detective Dotson, more unfolds and you learn how it all connects to your father’s sudden passing.
Investigate four unique cases, starting simple and building toward a thrilling final mystery that ties everything together. Trade, bargain, and uncover hidden clues from a cast of over 50 characters — each with their own secrets, needs, and personalities.

Wander through a lively city where 2D and 3D art styles blend seamlessly. Stroll past food carts, dance stages, and busy bazaars, soaking up the sights, sounds, and spirit of India. Every street corner holds a potential lead, a valuable item, or an unexpected encounter.

Nothing comes easy in Dotson’s world — you’ll need to haggle like a pro to get what you need. Buy incense sticks, street food, Bollywood memorabilia and more, and trade them smartly to open up new conversations, gather intel, and move closer to solving each case.

Jump into fun mini-games scattered around the city, including street cricket and Bollywood dance-offs. Winning games means better bargaining power — and sometimes, vital clues.

From mischievous shopkeepers to notorious gangsters, the city is full of colorful characters waiting to help (or hinder) Detective Dotson. Charm them, outwit them, or catch them red-handed — how you interact can change the outcome.

As you crack each case, a deeper, more personal story begins to unfold — one connected to Detective Dotson himself. Expect surprises, laughs, and a love letter to the rich culture and chaotic charm of India.

I liked the art style and idea of this game, but I found the gameplay to be a bit weak. It mostly involves running around completing errands to progress to the next clue. I also found the minigames to manage to thread the line to be both too easy on the lower levels, and progressively become a bit ridiculous on the higher levels. It also didn't feel very complete, though hopefully that issue will be fixed with the release of Chapter 2. Maybe when there's more story it will feel a bit more complete and worthy of recommendation, but I wouldn't recommend it right now.
cool game , good art style , good bg theme , a good relaxing game to play when you are bored and want to explore a new world , voice over is little low on quality but it isnt that noticeable ,polished gameplay, the small elements that only an indian will find familiar , cool game

I really enjoyed this game for the clever sleuthing mechanics, the wild story, the fun characters, and the whimsical vibe!! I got it when I bought a bundle, having not heard of it previously, and just taking a chance. I am so glad I did! The art is so awesome and I love the fun unique abilities some characters have -- oh and the customizations! Those character stories make me want more right now!
[h1]Passez votre chemin [/h1] Contrairement au titre, ce n'est pas vraiment un jeu d'enquête. En fait, [u]la mécanique du jeu est la suivante[/u]: faire de l'argent via des mini jeux ennuyeux (comme danser et trouver des objets cachés), puis utiliser cet argent pour acheter des items (comme de la nourriture) qui seront échangés contre des informations. Une fois toutes les informations en main, il faut relier les éléments pour résoudre l'affaire. Honnêtement, ce jeu est bizarre à tout les niveaux, la mécanique, le level design, la scénarisation. Ce jeu a des aires d'un projet étudiant à moitié terminé et d'ailleurs le jeu nous laisse sur un pseudo cliffhanger, qui ne me laisse pas sur ma faim étant donné que cette bouché était déjà indigeste.
I do adore the rich music and cultural ties... but the gameplay and story are very rough. The translation is frankly poor, and even if it was better, I'm not sure the story would be solid either. The translation is bad. Poor grammar and odd structure lead to things being either too cryptic or too obvious but also hard to format on the deduction screen. The deduction screen is very bad - while it tries to emulate the look and feel of a detective pinning things together on a corkboard with red string... its very unclear what is connected to what? The arrows that exist to clarify definitely pointed in the wrong direction a few times. The translation can make it more difficult, which lead me to exhaust all my hints because I did not want to deal with it. Even after playing through the entire available game (as of writing there is a part two teased), I don't know anything about 99% of the characters. We lean a bit about a few in the finale and some surface level info on Dotson himself... but that's really it. The finale looses a lot of luster when you are shown a character as an apparent plot twist, but the only time you see them is on... [spoiler] a single wanted poster that's easily missable? [/spoiler] and it seems that the only way to get information on any of these seemingly major characters is to watch the movie? I get the vibe in it's native language it is probably doing an okay to great job of emulating how Bollywood movies typically have terrible writing and are more about drama, music, and vibes... but I thing a detective game is probably the worst vessel for it, as the game is only as good as it's mystery. The gameplay is also almost entirely grinding minigames or doing fetch/trade quests to trade for information to solve whatever case you are doing... which gets old quickly in the final chapter, where I grinded gold for 30 minutes... and made me realize that I had spent over 1/5th of this detective game grinding cash. Chunks were also reserved for minigames and wandering aimlessly as the game sent me suggestions for things I already did. If you want a great soundtrack and some good visual and nothing else of substance, check this out on sale. As harsh as I was I did have some fun with it, but I don't think I'd recommend this to anyone.
Я сожалею что из прикольной на первый взгляд игры получилась это скучная, душная не выразительная игра. Не успел начать игру, управление не работает, мусор не подбираться, подключил геймпад начало работать. Управление в игре ужасное, срабатывает через раз, нагромождённое, вечно открывается никому не нужное меню. Детектив начался с собаки которая никому не нужна, да в принципе сразу же закончился так как люди инфу выдают за что-то, я в управлении не разобрался, вы предлагаете искать предметы. Жаль что на деле игра для детей от 5 лет. Тупо, скучно, грустно. Деньги вернул идет разработчик на хер с такой игрой
Good game!
This one was a bit of a disappointment for me. I’ve had it on my wish list forever and finally decided to try it out during the sale. I really gave it a fair chance, went through the whole thing and got all of the achievements. It’s pretty and the soundtrack is nice. Some of the mini games were also fun, although they were all basically optional. Otherwise, there’s really not much to it… you just kind of walk around and pick up items and then give them to people without really understanding exactly why you’re doing it. There is very little actual detective work in this game and the mysteries are always underwhelming considering you don’t ever get to know any of the characters. Did anybody else ever wonder whose the girl on the screen who gives the tutorial? It’s never explained, she’s just there. Also, it’s extremely short and there is no disclosure anywhere that only chapter one is out with more to come. Overall the games asking price is extremely steep for the gameplay you get. The scenery and soundtrack show its potential, but there’s a lot of work to be done to make the game worth playing.
Honestly pretty good side scrolling detective game/ Cant wait for part 2
