Description:

🔍 Shadows of Doubt – A Detective Noir Sandbox 🌃

What if every citizen in the city had a secret? In Shadows of Doubt, a fully immersive detective sim, you play as a private investigator in a procedurally-generated noir city. Every building, every room, and every citizen is part of a living, breathing world where crimes unfold in real-time. Use your cunning, skills, and tools to solve cases, track down culprits, and uncover conspiracies in a world of endless possibilities.

🌟 Game Overview
Step into the shoes of a private investigator in a dystopian, rain-drenched city. With no central authority, crime is rampant, and it’s your job to uncover mysteries, catch criminals, and make a life for yourself in the shadows. Every citizen has a name, a routine, and a story—and any one of them could be your next lead, suspect, or even victim.

Shadows of Doubt gives you unparalleled freedom to approach cases your way. Break into apartments, hack into security systems, analyze evidence, or simply follow someone until they slip up. But be careful—your actions have consequences, and the citizens of the city are always watching.
