More about Shadows of Doubt (from Steam):

A procedurally-generated sandbox stealth game with a whole city of secrets at your fingertips!

Shadows of Doubt is set in an alternate reality in the hyper-industrialized 1980s. Think like a detective and use a variety of gadgets as a private intelligence investigator, gathering evidence and making money by solving cases, finding and selling information and more.

Play your own way in a fully simulated world with hundreds of citizens. Discover, meet and tail individual citizens, each with their own name, job, apartment and daily routine, in unique, procedurally-generated cities. Each case has different culprits, clues and experiences for you to test your investigative skills.

Explore anywhere in the city! Every nook of every trashy bar, every place of work, every seedy hotel room… This dystopia is your oyster. Break into apartments, rifle through secret documents or hack security systems - even a discarded receipt can be the key to cracking a case. Trace the receipt back to an individual location, scour CCTV footage and match the time up to the receipt to find out who it belonged to!

The entire world is fully simulated. Each citizen has an apartment, job, daily routine, favorite things to do, places to go, and people to interact with. They live out their lives independently, in a world that moves on with or without you— uncover this knowledge and use it to your advantage!

Become a private investigator in a truly unique detective experience. Think like a detective to solve the cases around you: check call histories, find passwords, read private emails, speak to persons of interest, watch CCTV footage and more to retrieve evidence and build your case. Store information on your investigation board and link evidence together as you piece together the full picture.

Josh would make a great detective because he knows the ins-and-outs of being a monster

[elizabethashley]

I love how the mystery element is so intriguing that Josh can't help but actually go solve the case instead of just creating mayhem and forgetting the plot

[maybe-lazy]

Two accomplishments that I’m proud of Josh for:

1. He solved the case
2. He found Waldo

[berrie-nice-to-meet-you]

This game has an incredible amount of things to do that make no sense for a detective, but absolutely perfect for Josh to cause mayhem

[chaoticevilduck]

I have watched 5 people play this game (Josh included) and he is the first person I have witnessed out of those five that solved the case. Josh, out of all people. I am amazed by this.

[beautheschmo]

So the way the hospital works in this game is that it takes 20% of your current money total if you accept treatment. Josh had no money on hand so it cost nothing, and still chose to illegally escape the hospital despite his treatment literally being free lmao

[vermiworm]

Josh accidentally trapping himself in a coma seemed like poetic justice for all the games he's violated

[GreasusGoldtooth]

Imagine sitting in your living room wearing a red and white striped shirt, and then some lunatic throws a trashcan through your window, yells, "hey Waldo, just wanted to let you know I found you!" and then walks away like nothing happened.

[myleshobbs-nbyp]

I love the fact that Josh threw out a paper that had the first initial and last name of the killer, but still got the case correct through brute force

[poggersquirrel]

Josh is the last person I would want to have qualified immunity.

[nogoodreasonYT]

Josh, PLEASE make a series of this. I’d sit through hours of you solving crimes in your own demented way

[DJBlfry]

Josh is literally the worst case scenario kind of robber.

He beats up a man, takes his keys, breaks into his house, robs and vandalizes it, covers his bathroom with blood, leaves the man's son bloody, beaten, and unconscious inside a shower with a broken glass pane, and then dives out the bedroom window

[PoeticProphetic]

Honestly I keep forgetting Josh is “supposed” to be a private investigator and not a criminal

[hypermaeonyx]

"If you want to catch criminals, You need to *be* a criminal!"

-Josh, probably

[denji]

Was expecting a buggy game but this one actually looks legit and fun

[beezelbee]

I can't decide which is my favorite part, the coma crashing Josh's computer or the fact that Josh did actually solve the case in the most difficult and time-consuming way possible

[thewafflegamer]

Josh: can I have your fingerprints?
Citizen: not a chance!
Also citizen: *proceeds to rise to heaven*

[duphasdan]

13:49 That scream the lady made. Made me laugh so hard. Like a cross between severe pain and severely pissed off mode.

[nathiebear]

19:36 he punched through the glass to get in, and then proceeded to use the door to get out. What a gentleman!
