'Shadows Of Doubt' Gets PC Early Access Update, Comes To PS5 And Xbox Series X|S In 2024 - Screens & Trailer

Shadows Of Doubt is an open world detective sim where you discover a city of secrets and become a renowned private investigator in a unique crime-solving experience.

An open-world detective stealth game set in a fully simulated sci-fi noir city of crime and corruption. Think like a private investigator and take on jobs to earn cash on your path to catching a serial killer. If you don’t catch them - they will kill again…

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 own way in a fully simulated world with hundreds of citizens. Discover, meet and tail individual citizens, each with their own 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.

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 up to the receipt to find out who it belonged to!

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

Become a private investigator in a truly unique detective experience. Think like a detective to solve the cases around you: check call histories, find passwords, read private emails, speak to persons of interest, watch CCTV footage and more to retrieve evidence and build your case. Store information on your investigation board and link evidence together as you piece together the full picture.


ColePowered Games and Fireshine Games announced that Shadows of Doubt is coming to console, and will be available on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2024.

A major new Early Access content update for the PC version of Shadows of Doubt – ‘The Sharpshooter Assassin’ – is also available to today, introducing a brand new type of killer for budding detectives to investigate. Embark on a manhunt to track down a sniper in this thrilling new case type, and discover new points of interest to explore, new perks to unlock, and a range of quality of life improvements.

Explore two new buildings and climb the social rankings to investigate the Echelons; new gated communities situated high among the upper floors of the city’s skyscrapers, and only accessible to VIPs. Haven’t yet reached the required social status? We’re sure you can discover alternative methods to reach the Echelons, detective…

Become an even more effective detective with 11 new player perks to unlock as you work your way up the ranks, including fast travel, instant status cures and security clearances to give you the upper hand in your investigation. Discover new quality of life improvements and gameplay tweaks, including a new auto-travel feature, new conversations, new Steam features (including trading cards and badges), an improved user interface, reduced city generation times, and more.
