Shadows of Doubt

description Shadows of Doubt Overview

Shadows of Doubt is a detective video game developed by ColePowered Games and released in early access in 2023. Set in procedurally generated, densely simulated cities with a science-fiction noir atmosphere, it allows players to investigate murders by searching locations, examining physical evidence, questioning residents, and tracing relationships. Cases are generated from the activities of simulated citizens rather than arranged as a single fixed narrative.

Are the murder cases in Shadows of Doubt handcrafted?

What detective tools can you use in Shadows of Doubt?

Investigations can involve fingerprints, security footage, phone records, address books, employee files, receipts, and blood evidence. Players may also pick locks, crawl through vents, bribe citizens, or illegally enter apartments.
