Shadows of Doubt

A procedurally-generated sandbox stealth game with a whole city of secrets at your fingertips!

Shadows of Doubt is set in an alternate reality in the hyper-industrialized 1980s. Think like a detective and use a variety of gadgets as a private intelligence investigator, gathering evidence and making money by solving cases, finding and selling information and more.

Play your way in a fully simulated world with hundreds of citizens. Discover, meet and tail individual citizens, each with their name, job, apartment and daily routine, in unique, procedurally-generated cities. Each case has different culprits, clues and experiences for you to test your investigative skills.

TOTAL FREEDOM

Explore anywhere in the city! Every nook of every trashy bar, every place of work, every seedy hotel room… This dystopia is your oyster. Break into apartments, rifle through secret documents or hack security systems - even a discarded receipt can be the key to cracking a case. Trace the receipt back to an individual location, scour CCTV footage and match the time to the receipt to find out who it belonged to!

THE WORLD LIVES ON, WITH, OR WITHOUT YOU

The entire world is fully simulated. Each citizen has an apartment, job, daily routine, favourite things to do, places to go, and people to interact with. They live their lives independently, in a world that moves on with or without you— uncover this knowledge and use it to your advantage!
