Hey Detectives! Today we have a bit of a rallying call! Nominations have just opened for The Steam Awards 2023, and we’d love your support! We’re exceptionally proud of the innovative gameplay Shadows of Doubt brings to the table and we hope we can count on your vote for the “Most Innovative Gameplay” category this year. Shadows of Doubt is an incredibly ambitious game that typifies what indie gaming is all about - creativity, innovation and risk taking. Cole has really taken an idea and pushed the boundaries of the detective genre. Taking an immersive simulation approach where the whole world is constantly simulated, you can interact with almost everything and explore everywhere gives the player unprecedented agency in a detective game. The procedurally generated cases and lack of linear progression again diverge so significantly from most detective games giving players a unique and refreshing experience. It is a project 7 years in the making due to the complexity of the overlapping systems and is something everyone involved in the project is extremely proud of what has been achieved so far and there is still a lot more to come on this front! We have also had a whole bunch of high praise from the press on this front: [list] [*] [url=https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/shadows-of-doubt-early-access-preview]RockPaperShotgun[/url] - “Shadows Of Doubt is like no other detective game I've played, and although its murder mysteries have left me spiraling, I've had an absolute riot playing it.” [*] [url=https://www.gamesindustry.biz/making-a-true-detective-game-in-shadows-of-doubt]GamesIndustry.biz[/url] - “It's the agency, combined with the indie game's scope and ambition, that convinced GamesIndustry.biz to select it as the winner of UKIE's UK Game of the Year prize at Gamescom” [*] [url=https://www.pcgamer.com/this-procgen-cyberpunk-detective-game-is-like-an-endless-deus-ex-and-it-could-become-a-stone-cold-classic/]PC Gamer[/url] - “Shadows of Doubt is one of the most interesting games I've seen in years” [*] [url=https://www.gameshub.com/news/reviews/shadows-of-doubt-early-access-pc-game-review-april-2023-2614161/]GamesHub[/url] - “It’s one of those experiences you’ll find yourself shouting about from the rooftops – ‘You have to try this.
