What do you get when you cross retro adventure games with Indian flair and a pinch of Bollywood magic? You get a game like Detective Dotson. The game, developed by Masala Games, takes you on a journey as you try to uncover the conspiracy that led to your father’s death. On the way you will meet bubbly bhabis, gossipy aunties, corrupt officials and a whole plethora of very Indian characters. I commend the developer’s ability to walk a fine line, appeasing the biases of the West while keeping it close enough to home for the Indian audience to enjoy. This game was made to be played by Indians, and there is enough to get us to chuckle occasionally.
