What is Shadows of Doubt?
This is a single-player, first-person detective and stealth sandbox set in a procedurally generated, hyper-industrialized alternate 1980s city. As a private investigator tracking a serial killer, you tail residents, break into buildings, hack security systems, examine records and surveillance footage, and connect evidence while taking other jobs for cash.
