The open-world murder mystery game, Shadows of Doubt enters early access in April.
When does the game enter early access?
We’ve heard about Shadows Of Doubt for a few years now, mostly glancing at it through Screenshot Saturday postings, which makes sense considering the game’s stunning, neon-soaked voxel visuals. Happily, the open-world investigator sim is now snooping into an open beta release next month, on April 24th.
Shadows Of Doubt sounds really ambitious. The perpetually soggy, hyper-industrial city, the residents with their own daily routines, and even the serial killer case you’ll be looking into are all procedurally generated in the game. You will find yourself in an immersive simulation-type sandbox where you need to read your e-mails, use your detective tools, and go through vents to catch your criminal.
The dev explains in a Steam post why the single-player game needs an early access release:
“However, there are some key things that launching in Early Access allows for, not least of which is more content. It was always a goal of mine to develop post-release content for the game, but launching into Early Access means I can bring that new content directly into the pre-1.0 roadmap, meaning there’ll now be even more for players to discover in the initial base game when the full version launches (and Early Access players will, of course, get this content for free as it’s added to the game). As a bonus, it also means that we get more critical and constructive feedback from players who are passionate about the game during active development, which is really useful for further improving the overall experience.”
That being said, we just want to mention that the game looks really promising and we can’t wait to see how its development goes!
