To
A procedurally generated open world stealth game with a whole city full of secrets in your hands!
Shadow of Doubt is set in an alternate reality in the highly industrialized 1980s. Think like a detective and use various devices as a private investigator, collect evidence and earn money by solving cases, finding and selling information and much more.
Play your own way in a fully simulated world with hundreds of citizens. Discover, meet and track down individual citizens, each with their own name, job, home and daily routine, in unique, procedurally generated cities. Each case has different perpetrators, clues and experiences to test your investigative skills.
Total freedom
Explore every corner of the city! Every corner of every seedy bar, every workplace, every rundown hotel room… This dystopia is yours to explore. Break into apartments, dig through secret documents or hack security systems – even a discarded receipt can be the key to solving a case. Trace the receipt back to a specific location, sift through CCTV footage and compare the time with the receipt to find out who it belongs to!
The world lives on, with or without you
The entire world is fully simulated. Every citizen has a home, a job, a daily routine, favorite activities, places they go, and people they interact with. They live their lives independently, in a world that keeps turning with or without you – discover this knowledge and use it to your advantage!
