Masala Games’ forthcoming mystery game Detective Dotson will gain an animated film.

The movie, which was made in Unreal Engine 5, takes place before the game. A trailer for the movie can be seen here. The film will have its world premiere at Comic Con India on November 15. 20 minutes from the film will be showcased at the convention.

A synopsis for the movie reads:

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.

Shalin Shodhan, Founder and CEO of Masala Games said this about their forthcoming game:

“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. This is our labour of love and we hope you enjoy the adventures of Dotson and friends.”

Detective Dotson can be wishlisted on Steam right now here. Release dates for the movie and game will be unveiled soon.
