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.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy piecing together clues without rigid guidance
  • +you want stealth and investigation in a simulated city
  • +you value open-ended, procedurally generated sandbox play

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer handcrafted mysteries over procedurally generated cases
  • −you want a linear, story-led detective game
  • −you dislike gathering clues through trespassing and surveillance
