Procedurally generated detective sim Shadows of Doubt leaves Steam early access in September

Shadows of Doubt Leaving Early Access with Console Release

Shadows of Doubt, the procedurally generated first-person detective sim from developer ColePowered Games, is set to launch on 26th September after leaving Steam early access. Excitingly, it will also be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on the same day.

Since its entrance into Steam early access last April, Shadows of Doubt has captivated players who take on the role of a private investigator in a noir-ish open-world sci-fi city. The game’s unique feature lies in its procedural generation, ensuring that each playthrough offers a fresh experience. From the simulated city and daily routines of its citizens to the mysteries awaiting to be unraveled, everything is different every time. Players have the freedom to navigate through the city, employing various skills like hacking, lock-picking, and interrogation to solve cases.

Endless Appreciation for Shadows of Doubt

Former Eurogamer editor Martin Robinson expressed his awe in 2020, stating, “This is a work of staggering ambition and no small amount of artistry, presenting an evocative, fully-functioning cityscape for you to explore.” The game’s intricate systems and immersive gameplay have left many players just as impressed, eager to dive deeper into its mysteries.

Throughout its early access phase, Shadows of Doubt has seen continuous improvements and expansions. Last September introduced infidelity investigations, hinting at the ongoing commitment of ColePowered Games to enhance the game. With the 1.0 release approaching, players can expect a significant update promising new challenges and experiences awaiting them.

The highly anticipated release of Shadows of Doubt on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S coincides with its departure from early access on Steam. As part of the transition, the game’s price on Steam will increase from $19.99 USD to $24.99 on 23rd August, just a few days before its official launch. If you’re considering purchasing the game, now would be the ideal time to secure it at the current price.
