We've previously written about Shadows of Doubt before. Availability: Out now on PC in Early Access.And I think the reason why I've found it so hard is because I'm not sure Shadows of Doubt itself knows entirely what it wants to be. Not because I don't know what to say - I know what I did and didn't like during my time exploring several different generated cities - but because I'm not sure how to string together my thoughts on this game. I've struggled to write this piece on Shadows of Doubt for several days. You learn to think like a detective, which it turns out is a lot of fun.I hope you don't mind if I get a little frank with you here. But also follow the discarded receipts, meetings in alleys and fingerprints inadvertently left in hotel rooms. Rather than following a linear series of puzzles to solve a crime, you dive into a living breathing web of criminality and piece together who really is to blame. The result is a who-done-it game with an open-world twist. You can break into apartments, rifle through secret documents, hack security systems, check call histories, find passwords and read private emails. You explore trashy bars, offices, and hotel rooms each contributing more clues. It's a challenge of piecing together the evidence to identify what happened and who did it. This sends you out into the living-breathing world to piece the clues together and assemble them on your case board.Īs you piece together these clues and take on more cases you dig deeper into every nook and cranny of the city. Each mission gives you clues (locations, descriptions, leads) to help you track down what happened. As you move around the world, you get to know the living-breathing rhythms of the metropolis. This means you have a range of retro-futuristic gadgets to help you on your quest. The city is a hyper-industrialized version of the 1980s. It stands out for every citizen having a life of their own, and the slow detailed work of following clues around the open world to solve crimes one piece of evidence at a time. You explore the city to discover criminality, find clues, solve crimes and earn money to fund bringing a serial killer to justice.
Shadows of Doubt is an open-world detective game set in a fully simulated city of crime and corruption.
