About Detective Dotson
I'm Dotson. I used to be an actor, but now I'm a detective. One day, I stumbled upon a mysterious case related to my father's sudden death. At first, it was a simple investigation, but as I followed the clues, I realized everything was connected. Explore a vibrant modern-day city in India, 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. Trade, bargain, and uncover hidden clues from a cast of over 50 characters — each with their own secrets, needs, and personalities. 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. Fit the clues you collect on an Evidence Board. By placing items, people, and other items in slots, you'll get closer to the truth. 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. Detective Dotson is a charming indie game made in India!

How regional eShop pricing works for Detective Dotson
Nintendo prices Detective Dotson independently in each of the 48 countries we track, using local currencies. Because exchange rates and regional purchasing power differ, the same digital game can cost very different amounts depending on where you buy it. To redeem the cheapest price, you typically need an eShop gift card for that region; we link to a country-specific buying guide whenever you click any row in the price table above. We also compare the current Steam price for this game so you can see whether the PC version on Steam is cheaper than any eShop region right now.
All prices on this page are converted from the original local currency to your selected display currency using daily exchange rates. The regular price (struck through) shows the country's standard eShop price; the highlighted sale price is what Nintendo is charging today. Discount badges in green mark deals of 50% or more. HowLongToBeat data shows Detective Dotson takes about 3 hours to finish the main story, which we use to estimate cost-per-hour value.
