Dot's Home is a single player game about Dorothea (Dot) Hawkins, a young Black woman in her late 20’s living with her grandmother Mavis Hawkins in Detroit, Michigan. Following a cryptic conversation with her grandmother, Dot receives a mysterious key. This key allows Dot to open a door within her house and travel to another space in time within her own family history.

In order to return home, Dot finds that she must interact with and influence her family members to make important life decisions in order to receive a key back to her present, but Dot soon finds out that her journey to the past is steadily affecting her current reality…as well as the potential future.
