Detective Dotson by Masala Games is a unique Bollywood-inspired indie game that will be released on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC in early 2025. The game has received a lot of appreciation since the trailer release due to its unique style. In Detective Dotson, players will go on an adventure across Indian cities to solve the cases they come across.
Players can jump into the game with their friends to solve the co-op cases together. The co-op cases are made for friends to join each other in solving crime mysteries with their unique skill sets and complete the game’s objective. The co-op mode in Detective Dotson was created with the Developer Accelerator Program grant provided by ID@Xbox.

Detective Dotson by Masala Games, Releasing In Early 2025, To Feature Co-op Cases
In the co-op cases, two friends can jump into the game to solve the cases together. While each case has its own story, players can choose from a plethora of lively characters like super-cop Durai or ravishing reporter Jotson to solve the cases. Each character has its strengths, which help them solve the case in their unique style. Players can make use of super-cop Durai’s machismo to break open the doors or use reporter Jotson’s connection to gain privileged access.
With the co-op mode, Detective Dotson comes with a dynamic split-screen. The screen during the co-op mode won’t break into two until the players are far enough apart. While talking about the dynamic split-screen, here is what Shalin Shodhan, Founder and CEO of Masala Games, wrote in the Xbox News blog post:
We felt this made for a more seamless co-op experience while utilising split-screen to indicate that the action is taking place in two different places at the same time, similar to heist movies. There was a lot of trial and error involved in finding the sweet spot for when we actually broke the screen in order to have the right balance and indication of distance between you and your friend in-game.
The co-op mode was developed with the help of ID@Xbox’s Developer Accelerator Program grant. Detective Dotson will be out in early 2024 on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC. Fans can add the game to their wishlist on Steam.
