Shadows of Doubt

DO NOT BUY, THIS GAME IS ABANDONED, THEIR LAST UPDATE WAS IN JANUARY AND IT WAS ADDING STEAM WORKSHOP

Кривоватая и с багами, но аналогов просто нет. Кроме стабильности работы самой игры, хотелось бы опции увеличения сложности для челленджа, не только связанной с увеличением получаемого урона и количеством изначальных улик, но и, например: * Значительное уменьшение получаемых денег. * Жители реагируют на открытие их ящиков и слышат открывание дверей, куда у гг нет доступа. * Жители запоминают, что игрок сделал против них противоправные действия и могут отказываться говорить, а иногда и включают тревогу или нападают. * При совершении преступления зафиксированного камерой, штраф не спадает, если не успеть стереть за день с камер данные * При совершении преступлений зафиксированного полицейским штраф не спадает * Случайные события, разбавляющие рутину, например, когда-то ранее арестованный убийца сбежал и ищет тебя чтобы отомстить или кто-то балуется тревогой, пока ты осматриваешь место преступления, случайные драки. * и т.д.

In it's current state, Shadows of Doubt is entirely too dependent on RNG and procedurally generated content to be consistent enough to enjoy, often soft locking the player in impossible-to-solve cases that force you to either load an old save, or more commonly, need to start a whole new playthrough. I would not recommend it where it currently stands.

Such a cool concept let down by the fact this game has been abandoned by the developers

Lo primero, es un reseña tirando a casi "Recomendado". Pero lo que veo, es que es un juego que al final, se basa mucho en la repeticion. No voy explicar de que va el juego, hay bastantes videos por internet. Al final, juego de detectives. Pero si hablo de lo que veo que falla. Por ejemplo, que sabes como se llama un NPC y le preguntas por su nombre, y el dice que no te lo da.... O por ejemplo, quieres preguntarles por temas del "Caso" a NPCs y apenas tienes opciones de dialogo claras. Me parece demasiado "Grande" en algunas cosas, como el mundo, pero al final es repetitivo. Los pisos, la gente, etc. Y luego, muy pobre en el tema de casos. Siempre haces lo mismo. Vas al punto A, analizas todo, buscas documentos, direcciones, y poco mas. Enganchas siempre por tema de direcciones, las contraseñas siempre estan por el piso adelante y listo. Tiene potencial, pero no creo que lo sepan aprovechar mas.

The only game where you can find a dead body, go to the victim's workplace after hours for more info, get caught trespassing by an employee, beat him up and steal his wallet, then find out that the name on his ID matches exactly with the initials of the creepy message at the crime scene, then you log onto his PC and find out he's in a cult worshipping "the uncle", so you go and get some food real quick before getting a notification that somebody is dead. It's at his address... So! You go to his place, wait for the cops to leave, sneak in, and find the killer's wife is dead, supposedly by the hands of the killer himself. As it turns out, she was in the same cult as her husband, so naturally, you go beat up the killer again and turn him into the police.

If you're a naturally nosy person, then this is the game for you lol. Based on some of the negative reviews, I was a bit afraid to take the plunge, but then I played for around 6 hours straight. There's a lot to like about this game, and there are also some years old bugs that I assume will never be fixed. The other reviews are also right; if you've done one case of a specific type (infidelity, corporate espionage, etc.) then you'll find nothing new upon repeating them. It's unfortunate, because this feels like the type of game that could be built on forever. Still think this game is worth playing; I'd recommend immediately jumping into sandbox mode in the largest city your PC can generate and play on the Long setting. You'll see everything the game has to offer and get a good amount of playtime out of it, too.

I have no idea why this game has so many haters dude, it's just a good game that does what it says it does. There are bugs, yes, some pretty bad, but believe me when I say I've rarely had any big ones and you'll probably barely find any. It's weird, idk why it attracts so much scrutiny when it's done just fine, way better than many other early access games. overall tho, a very interesting premise and decent execution to sink a good amount of hours into.
