Shadows of Doubt

Shadows of Doubt is a procedurally generated sandbox stealth game set in an alternate-reality, hyper-industrialized 1980s. As a private intelligence investigator in a fully simulated sci-fi city, you gather evidence, solve cases and earn money by finding and selling information. One case involves tracking down a serial killer.

A living city

Each city is procedurally generated and populated by hundreds of citizens. Every citizen has a name, job, apartment and daily routine, as well as favorite activities, places to go and people to interact with. They live independently in a world that continues with or without you, and you can meet, follow and investigate them.

You can explore every room in every building, from bars and workplaces to hotel rooms and apartments. Search for secret documents, hack security systems and investigate clues such as a discarded receipt by tracing it to a location and matching its time against CCTV footage.

Investigate cases

Use detective skills and gadgets to gather evidence and build your case. You can scan fingerprints, check call histories, find passwords, read private emails, speak to people of interest and review CCTV footage. Store information on your investigation board and connect evidence as you work out what happened and identify a suspect to accuse.

Each case has different culprits, clues and investigative challenges. You can approach cases in several ways: pick locks, break down doors, sabotage security systems or bribe citizens for information, or stick to the law and play by the book.

Earn and equip

Take on new cases to earn cash, then use it to buy gadgets and equipment or customize your apartment. You can also find and sell information as you work as a private investigator.
