Shadows of Doubt is a highly unique game in which you take on the role of a detective in a voxel, dystopian city. You’ll solve murders, uncover mysteries, and track down missing people to earn a living. That’s the basis. But it’s about to get so much better. With the Shadows of Doubt modifiers update, you can now play as a rat, run from an ever-pursuing killer snail, or live your noir film dreams!
For now, there are nine game modifiers added to Shadows of Doubt that alter how the experience plays out. You can play Ironman, testing your mettle, or have fun with House Arrest to up the game’s challenge. The best part is, it’s available now!
Types of Modifiers in Shadows of Doubt
- Ironman – Prove yourself as the ultimate detective with the greatest challenge of all: Ironman. If you die, your save file is deleted, wiping your progress and forcing you to start again from scratch. Good luck, detectives.
- Permadeath – Fancy a challenge but aren’t quite ready for Ironman? With the Permadeath modifier, you’ll no longer wake up in the hospital after dying. Instead, you’ll need to reload your save and try not to make the same mistakes again…
- Snail Nemesis – You are an immortal detective with only one fatal weakness: a deadly snail that is endlessly pursuing you across the city. Somewhere, the snail is slowly, relentlessly following you, and one touch is enough to kill. Crack the case, not the shell.
- Rat Detective – You are a 20cm tall rat detective, with all the abilities that entails. Climb up walls and ceilings, and literally be as quiet as a mouse to sneak past people more easily. But being a rat detective isn’t always simple: certain objects are now non-interactable and, if you’re spotted, some of the city’s residents may just try to stamp on you…
- Fame & Fortune – Become a world-famous detective just trying to do their job. As you investigate each crime, adoring fans will chase you through the city streets in the hope of getting your autograph. But raving fans may not be the best mix for an ongoing investigation…
- Short-Sighted – As a short-sighted detective, make sure to keep glasses in your inventory in order to see the world clearly. But beware of getting into fights: a spot of fisticuffs isn’t always the best way to care for a set of glasses.
- Gambling Debt – Begin your career with a gambling debt from a loan shark. If you fail to pay the debt back in time, the loan shark’s henchmen will track you down to take matters into their own hands.
- House Arrest – Buying an apartment means living in your apartment. Permanently. Once you own an apartment, anytime you try to leave, security and the police will treat you as a hostile threat.
- Film Noir – Immerse yourself in a classic film noir setting with the new black and white filter.
