Inay Doshi

Dialogue Sprite

Inay Doshi works on the 3rd floor IT department of Sintracorp and is the only employee working in his section, citing “work place accidents” as the reason he is the only remaining IT person. He has been working for Sintracorp for many years but hardly does any IT work given not many employees actually follow up on any orders put through and most do not even know how to use a computer. He is aware of the horrors of Sintracorp and the monstrosities within but he does not believe in the Witch and thinks it is just fairy-tale stuff. He refers to the corruption of the company being like a machine, having parts that do not function correctly but are still working, keeping things running but with no owner to actually report issues within its functions.

## Appearance

Doshi has gray eyes and fairly long black hair that is pulled back with a red hair tie in a pony tail at the back of his neck. He wears a white button up shirt that is messily tucked into black slacks and completely untucked on one side. While his pixel sprite is shown with his sleeves rolled up, his character art is shown with them rolled down. He appears to have a blue badge or name tag pinned to the front of his shirt. Though there are no canon heights for the characters standing next to Doshi shows he is almost a head shorter than Brian.

## Personality

He comes off as fairly relaxed, speaking with laid back slang but can be chatty and will go on for long periods when he exposites information or speaks about his beliefs. Doshi is a highly intelligent individual who offers more pragmatic solutions to what is happening in Sintracorp despite knowing people have died and turned strange within. He is the resourceful type, providing the player with the advice to search all the filing cabinets and drawers in the building for items. Based on later reactions to his presence he also seems to be good at interacting with other people (outside of the Goats) in the building.

## 3rd Floor IT Department

Doshi is unlocked as a merchant after the completing the HR portion of the 3rd floor. He sells Alkaline Batteries, Ink Cartridges, and Glowsticks. Because of his fascination with Glowsticks and Brian being new to the building, he will give Brian three for free.

There are two Electronic Pieces, which Doshi refers to as parts of a piece of 'jewelry' he is working on, that can optionally traded to Doshi. The first will unlock an upgrade for the Flashlight, giving it a bigger beam, and the second gains the player the Lantern, which illuminates a wider circular area around Brian but consumes more battery life.

He provides both lore information about the history of Sintracorp when it was prosperous in the 1970's but is entirely focused on the technology portion of it.

Doshi has a fair amount of useful information on Dot Matrix, which he refers to as part of the 'local fauna' in the building, and how to survive an encounter on one. His theory on the Dot Matrix's violent nature toward humans is that a scientist during the production of the Matrix Printer had gotten their hand caught in the needles, though this is based entirely on gossip. He provides the advice not to run from them given they can feel the vibrations of the persons feet and the only way to get away from them if caught is to feed it ink because the Dot Matrix is 'in love' with ink. It can be inferred he has had a run in himself with a Dot Matrix given his knowledge on how to both get away from and not die to it. He knows when Dot Matrix is most active, leaving the 4th floor after a certain amount of time as to not be caught by one.

This is later proves to be a good point as all the Employees surrounding Dot Matrix previously can be found laying on the floor dead.

There is a door behind a curtain in the back of the IT area that when attempting to open is locked. Doshi will tell Brian 'good vibes' but not to go in there.

## Hugo's Birthday Party

When he enters the party from the elevator the whole crowd will chant '*Doshi Doshi Doshi*!' and have the area prepared with the lights shut off and Glowsticks spread around the Canteen for Doshi. He will appear on a table performing a type of dance which is referred to as Stringed Glowsticking, a form of dance where the Glowsticks are attached to string and swung around the person creating shapes and patterns in a darkened area, he will remain there until it is time for Hugo to open his gifts. If the player examines him Brian will comment how he's surprised Doshi is such a good dancer.

After Brian attracts the attention of the mysterious whispering voice and all hell breaks loose Doshi can be found standing at the opposite side of the room. When spoken to Doshi is the only one of Brian's workmates who is still coherent. He will say his own first name to himself, seeming to keep himself grounded, and after taking his hand away from his head it is revealed he is bleeding from the ears and he has a splitting headache from this.

After taking his advice and examining the elevator Brian will find it is broken and go back to Doshi asking him to fix it. The player must keep the light on him in order to help him fix the elevator all the while avoiding letting the Cursed Children get too close to him. When the elevator is fixed Brian will try to convince Doshi to go with him but Doshi has to stay on the other side to keep the doors open. He will give Brian his keys stating if he does not survive Brian must 'burn everything' in his office.

Doshi is the only one of Brian's workmates who is not turned into one of the Cursed Children on screen during the party but going back after Brian returns to Sintracorp and examining the spot where he had been will show a bloody splatter on the wall where he had once been, a sign he was turned.

## Rescuing Doshi

Doshi's can be found by using the old computer in Brian's Office with R Corvo's ID card after returning back to Sintracorp after the nightmare sequence. Venturing northeast inside of the glitched Sintranet he can be found as a Cursed Child. The player must use the Plastic Knife to cut into it and when prompted the body will ask 'Who am I' the hint being the blood coming from the bandaged body's ears. Stating Doshi's first name, Inay, will cause a heart to appear above it and after a breath is exhaled it will disappear. Doshi will become available to speak to again at the end of the game.

## Doshi's Laboratory

When using Doshi's Keys after Brian is back in Sintracorp the player will be immediately greeted with a wall of magazine clippings from the days of Sintracorp's glory, all with Sintra on them. There are other boxes seemingly full of other magazines and articles regarding the company and the AI herself. Inside, it is shown that Doshi had been working on rebuilding the first model of Sintra for the years he had been working at the company. All the technology he was gutting for 'their best parts' were being used in this years long project.

When accessing the computer in his Laboratory there will be three new pieces of information about Sintracorp and Sintra herself.

[ **01. Cornucopia Project** ] *"According to the records I found, Sintracorp renewed its corporate image in 1973, creating a state-of-the-art android in the likeness of the daughter of the Sintra family. Nine functional models of Sintra were running across the company, guiding new employees. Would this be the mysterious Cornucopia Project?”*

[ **02. Cancellation** ] *"After gathering information from various sources, it can be assumed that the unexpected destruction of all Sintra models led the company to close the project definitively. The AI they had developed became part of the corporate intranet: Sintranet. Who destroyed all the models and why? Is this related to the fact that Sintranet is corrupt?”*

[ **03. The last piece** ] *"After years of searching the company for android parts, all I have left to do is find the last one: An intact head. It's the heart of the android. Without it, I can't make this jewel of technology work."*

## End of the game

Doshi will be found sitting on the benches in the Lobby with the other workmates the player rescued following the Party. When speaking to him he will make sure that Brian did not destroy Sintra given she was gone when he went to check his Laboratory. After Brian tells him he finished Sintra he will rush to the Fire Escape Door upstairs to go see her.

If Doshi is not rescued he will not appear within the Lobby.

## Trivia

Doshi's first name 'Inay' in Hindi means “*god or godlike*” a possible reference to creating life through AI technology often being referred to as “*playing god*.”

Like many characters in Yuppie Psycho, he only has one speaking line which is yelling 'Hey!' at one of the Goats for eating the wires in the area he is gutting for parts on the 4th floor.

When on the 4th floor Doshi's standard animation will include him glancing quickly left to right, seeming to watch out for signs the Dot Matrix will appear.

User Jerryterry on Steam revealed that inside of the currently unable to be accessed Security Room is either Mr. Devil or someone dressed up in the Mr. Devil uniform with a dead body at their feet. While unofficial it means that this figure was close to Doshi's workplace at some point in the game.
