I have to try it again, the first time I tried I didn’t understand anything or what I was suppose to be doing.
If my experience is anything to go by, you mug everybody you see, steal everything in their wallet to “identify them”, interrogate them while vomiting drunk in their apartment, and maybe solve a murder or two on accident.
So this is just an American cop sim? Minus the spousal abuse
There is a tutorial mission to show you some of the basics.
IMO it’s not ready for getting out of early access.
Most of the time crimes are exploitable because NPCs life and assassination patterns are repetitive.
For 20-30h it’s cool. After that you have already learnt all the possible exploitations and it becomes power gaming gameplay.
If you don’t believe, search for steam reviews with more than +30h.
30h of gameplay seems very reasonable for a $20 game.
Yeah, people are either spoiled or deluded with games needing to be 100+ hours, especially cause those hours are often padded with garbage.
Shadows of doubt gives you at least 10-20 hours of hilarious procedural generation that actually hangs together as an immersive sim. You start to see the seams pretty quickly but by the time that happens you’re digging into the actual mechanics. Also the devs take their time on updates but the last update was pretty huge so they obviously have a pretty big scope for the game.
I love this game. But there is a bug that causes some missions to be unsolvable. They really need to fix that before releasing it fully…
reminds me of the Blade Runner video game by Westwood.
Jesus, now there is an old memory. “Portrait of the sleep deprived.” Thanks for the trip down the lane, friend!
The weird voxel graphics turned me off but the concept is really cool.
