Think like a detective and investigate crimes on your path to catching a serial killer, using a variety of gadgets to crack each case. Explore unique, sci-fi noir cities and meet individual citizens each with their own name, job, apartment and daily routine. Track down suspects and approach each case your way: scan fingerprints, check call histories, read private emails, bribe citizens, watch CCTV, or pick locks, break down doors and sabotage security systems—you call the shots on how to solve each case.
For its initial launch into Steam Early Access, Shadows of Doubt will include “The Dead of Night”—a specially crafted case to introduce the game—and a Sandbox Mode, featuring an endless number of cases to investigate and civilians to meet, a variety of equipment, and dense procedurally-generated cities to explore. The Early Access roadmap will be revealed next month, outlining additional content and features coming to the game ahead of a full 1.0 release targeted for later this year.
