Shadows of Doubt, the procedurally generated first-person detective sim from developer ColePowered Games, is leaving Steam early access on 26th September, and it’s getting a PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S release on the same day.
Shadows of Doubt entered Steam early access last April, challenging players – in the role of a private investigator – to snoop and sleuth their way around a noir-ish open-world sci-fi city, aiming to complete enough investigations that they’re able to hang up their trilby and retire.
It’s the procedural generation at the heart of the game that makes all it so nifty, though; everything – from the simulated city and the daily routines of its citizens to the murders and odd jobs players can tackle – is different each playthrough. And it’s coupled with an immersive-sim-like level of freedom that lets players hack, lock-pick, shimmy, snoop, explore, break-and-enter, interrogate, and more in order to solve its unscripted cases.
