I just solved my hardest case ever. 5 murders, took 3 just for his footprint, he killed office workers then bar workers then people on the street, homeless and not, basically completely random... Lived 1 floor above me. Probably one of my most frustrating and rewarding experiences in gaming.
Cases like that are so rewarding to crack after that long working them. I've definitely had similar experiences and it was relieving to finally figure them out!
I had a serial killer that drew hearts with lipstick at the scene of every crime. The first two kills were in the alleys. I had no leads. I checked surveillance cameras and only had sex, height, and hair color to go off of.
I messed up and didn’t check the workplace of the second victim because the first victim had no professional connection to her killer. Her occupation was completely clear of any guilt. The second victim and her WORKED TOGETHER. Later, there was a third victim. Same killer, but this time it was inside an apartment. I find the body, find footprints, and then track them. I get to the floor below and start checking for fingerprints. Luckily, I just so happened to find the fingerprints on a door that matched those found on the lipstick at each crime scene. I arrested her and sent her to jail.
I live with the guilt knowing that I could have saved a person’s life if I had acted fast enough and checked the workplace for fingerprints and employee profiles.
The identity of the second victim was a gut-punch too. He was the friend of the victim in the tutorial case. I failed to save him. 😢
Had a similar experience. 3 murders for a single fingerprint, I had false leads, no camera footage, no witnesses, nothing.
plot twist: it was you!
@@xXN0cturnXx shhhh, thats a secret
My latest Shadows Of Doubt run has gone in-game weeks or months without a murder case. At first I thought it was a bug, but now I know that the victim had so little of a life that nobody has found out they're dead, and likely never will unless I find them myself.. It's kinda sad, really.
That is very sad actually..
Where was their body found at?
@@ryanhoang3553probably in the apartment
I had a guy dead in a basement floor bathroom stall that literally nobody lived near, to the point that the murderer had time to kill a whole second person without me even knowing about it. Once the second victim was discovered, both bodies were reported to me at the same time even though the original one wasn't ever actually found... it was wild to figure out.
Can you kill someone and then takes the case when an npc reports it?
I also found if you open the case board, click the 'get info' button on the top right, click in the resolution form, click the options tab, and click help, there is a list of all the passcodes and numbers you've found in the game so far. Especially useful when you forgot to write them down or pin them to the case.
Good one!
There's a quicker way. Open the case board. Top left is an icon like a magnifying glass. Click this and in the detective's notebook that opens, select the passcodes tab
WOW I've had this game for a few weeks and I learned a lot from this video. One tip I learned on my own and completely by accident is that incapacitating grenades thrown into apartments will break all of the windows and do a lot of damage. They're fine for incapacitating the apartment's residents but they are absolutely the best for vandalism jobs.
As someone who makes a mess of things everywhere they go, I'm surprised I haven't utilized the grenades more in this game.
They're definitely fun to throw into a group of NPCs as well 😂
Useful tip. NPCs don't path to elevators at the moment. To run away just walk into the elevator and close the door.
This still works for the newest update as well
@@Spaced0ut000literally was just about to ask this
One neat little feature is that if you place a kettle on the hob of a stove and turn it on, it will soon start to boil. I purchased this game and have played for 30 hours in just two days. It's one of those rare and captivating experiences that, once you start, you just can't put it down. Overall, this game has been a lot of fun, and I applaud the developers for their commitment. I expect to see additional features and interesting puzzles to complete. I also enjoy your content and will be subscribing. Keep up the good work!
Funny enough, this was one of the first things (i was still in starting hotel) i did and was suprised it boiled
The newspaper is a good tip. I thought it was an immersive touch kind of object. One case I had no leads on at all and decided to buy the paper on a whim. The paper interviewed the person who found the body. They happen to live one floor up. Turned out they were the killer. Pretty wild where you can find clues.😂
Additionally, you can use the newspaper to hide in plain sight. I read this somewhere, but I haven't tested it yet.
16.5 Lurking near a board you have cleared will sometimes let you see the person pin the job listing to the board, for some quests that give very little information, this can be a really good starting point for people related to that person, even if they are posting on someones behalf.
Absolutely, took me a while to realize that just like how murders have to be actually committed, NPCs actually go up to the job board and post their jobs.
Occasionally I'll have side jobs just show up on the board, but usually, an npc walks in to post it.
The 21st doesn't even need the camera to work: you can examine the person, pin it on your notebook and ask the person who is the person and they will say that's them together with all the information you may need.
Otherwise, great list of tips, I so freaking love that game so I'm very happy having discovered your channel.
If you are the first to find a body you can report it by calling the in-game enforcers by using the phone in the persons house (assuming they didn't die somewhere else)
Good one, this would've been great on the list!
Thanks, nice video, btw.
You can also do this if you just don't like an npc and the enforcers will just get there and sometimes barge in and start shooting. If the person is handcuffed while this happens they are in for eternal torture.
@@KiyoGam1I will keep this in mind for my EVIL playthrough
The lore of this video, is your a new detective on the job and he's the jaded detective who's seen it all and is assisting you. Before he gets brutaly murdered by someone, which'll of course be your first case without him, where you'll use the trick and memories you've learned along the way to solve it and bring the murderer to justice.
As for the first tip, if someone picks up the phone you can just ask their name. I have had several cases where the murderer/target just tell me it over the phone lol
Another tip not mentioned anywhere online rn:if you go to a black market that sells guns and pin the sales ledger,when a murder happens with a rifle,revolver,or pistol,the ledger will update,giving you the first name inintial 2nd name inintial,both name initials or straight up a name,which is a HUGE lead
It should be noted this doesn't always work, as it requires the NPC to actually buy a gun. I bring this up because I wasted a few days (in-game time) tracking down a false lead because they were the last person to buy a pistol... only for it to turn out the killer had just used one they already owned.
this is because you must've only looked at the weapons dealer and not the black market trader too,also,in that 3 months they made the ledger unpinnable so this dosent work anymore
One I didn't see mentioned was that you can dry off from being wet using a towel or hand dryer. The hand dryer also seems to warm you up too.
^ true, good ones 👌
I learned that you can drink from watercoolers you find in offices and office buildings. Its basically free hydration stat if you come across one.
That loan shark one is so cool-they really have the most unique features that no one will ever use since you can just steal and sell a diamond for the same amount lol. Someone else explained Sam’s past but you can also see a science report by Sam in your safe too! Also bloodhound trackers can also be used on objects but im not sure why anyone would want to do that
Great for swiper no swiping runs
Putting a bloodhound on a person is considered assault, which is both a crime and will cause them to attack you if they catch you doing it (which is very hard to avoid as you have to be hidden and directly behind them). If you put a bloodhound on an object they regularly carry with them and then let them pick it up, you avoid all this. Alternately, you can put it on an object they DON'T own and then hand it to them, although they'll eventually put this down or throw it out.
Also, when bloodhounds are on an object nobody's carrying, they act as proximity sensors, telling you when someone enters an area.
There is more information about who Sam is in the tutorial case. If you read your V-mails there is a mail from Sam revealing that they are your former romantic partner who has left you and moved out.
I was hoping someone would have more info on this for me. Thank you!
I actually don't think I played through the entire tutorial, so that's probably why I missed it.
Or, those moments you forget your own PC pass code, lol. Even if it's just 1234 I'm pretty sure.
Bought the game the other day and I found this video while looking for some tips, it was so well done that I had to check up the other ones! now you've got a new sub
Keep up the good work man! Once the game gets more famous your channel will get the recognition it deserves
Thanks for the sub and the kind words!
I'm beyond thankful for the amount of people SoD has already brought in. I can't wait for when it gets some more updates that really bring it to life.
I learned by accident that if you're being mugged randomly on the street and you're near a food truck, you can go in and close the rolling door to the food truck and your assailant won't pursue you; they'll just run down the street and you'll lose the tail a few seconds later. I've done this at least 5 times, all successfully.
Man, this game can be so infuriating. Hunt down every possible suspect to the point you're blasting into everyone's apartment in a building and you still can't get a credible lead.. Love it ; ). I noticed on one occasion that when you have a tracker in your inventory, no one will tell you where they are. I removed it from my inventory and everyone was loose lipped. Even turned out not to be the suspect(this took hours).. Early Access. Vid had some insights I hadn't registered, thanks.
Never heard of that bug before but I'll keep a look out for it 👀
Glad I was able to teach you a couple things! Hopefully the game starts to get easier!
One more : The light you see from outside the housing blocks (on the street) really match whether the light is turned on / off inside -> A hint to know if someone is at home, or away (or sleeping)
It works even if the windows have curtains / blinds closed (bug)
Blinds prevent people from seeing inside a room, they don't block light. It makes sense the light would still be visible.
I play on a very large map on extreme and I've gotten to a point where I just barge in, grab the evidence, loot the home, and then jump out the window. I've become so efficient lol
I definitely feel this
You‘re Batman?
My third game was very tiring with a murder case I wasn‘t able to solve.
I had a fingerprint on two dead bodies and I couldn‘t find the murderer.
I resolved to loot every store and office building off their personal files. In the end I knew 80% of all the people on the street.
Some side cases solved them by themself. A guy 31 years old and likes trains? That‘s Randy Lieberman, case solved.
Hello! Just wanted to say i love your narrative videos on shadows of doubt, they really are great. Hope you make more ^^
I'll be making more! Thank you so much for the kind words! I appreciate you watching the videos!
@@thatboywags no problem! Its thanks to you that i discovered this gem after all !
the camera one is so amusing "hey that's me" like they're so happy to be known
I only missed 6.5 of these in my playthroughs, but this is a great resource for new players, well done!
Thank you!
Just found your channel, I'm a huge fan of shadows of doubt, can't wait to see more!!
Absolutely, actually working on the next one right now!
regarding the blueprint one: if you have the cartographer syncdisk set on vents, you can get astronomical amounts of crows by collecting one blueprint (6.5k - 10k crows)
Bought the game on launch played a couple of hours and decided to wait for some updates (performance issues, gameplay was more than fine).
Reinstalled the game yesterday and stumbled upon your channel.
The systems in the game still blow my mind. And your channel is awesome. Instantly subscribed.
Hey man! You might remember me as one of your commenters. I just got the game and it is really fun! Also your tips have really helped me play the game more effectively. I just solved my first murder case which was a co-worker with a silenced pistol killing people hitman style. They killed 2 people before I cracked down on them, barged open their door and beat them unconscious with my baton before arresting them on the spot.
Awesome to hear you got the game and you've been having a good time with it!
Love hearing about all the whacky stories everyone gets themselves into 😂
Regardless sounds like a job well done 👍
Here's a tip from your local street doc:
There is also a sync disk secret store that can spawn, it's located in similar places to the black market and loan sharks.
The door wedge bug happened to me once as well. I was going through a victim's apartment when an enforced phased through a bathroom wall and almost gave me a heart attack. Pretty funny in hindsight and definitely not the worst bug in SoD, but it's still not ideal.
Very interesting! I keep watching your vids and meaning to get this game myself but still haven’t! I’m actually recovering from surgery now so seems like the ideal time lol!
Awe! I'm wishing you a speedy recovery from your surgery. Maybe the game will take your mind off things and heal you faster 😂
Either way, glad you're okay and I appreciate you being active on the channel!
@@thatboywags aw thank you so much 🥰 I’m doing really good! I had to have some of my bowel removed for bowel cancer but the prognosis is fantastic and that’s all that matters!
@@Nicolebee7272bro hope everything will be ok)
I just found out about shadows of doubt and found your channel. Your shadows of doubt content is by far the most entertaining. I binged watch all of your sod content, looking forward to more!
Thanks for watching it all! Hopefully I'll have more out soon for everyone!
@@thatboywagslooking forward to it!! I love your content!
this really helped me short cut the tutorial case without really having to follow up leads which i was sort of struggling with thanks
I bought the game on sale and didn't know what to expect. These tips will definitely help me. Lord knows the door boot glitch would have made me mad if I didn't know in advance lol
Glad they helped!
And yeah, I wasn't expecting that either 😂
Dude the first tip alone made me subscribe. Those cases drove me up the wall. Thanks :)
a Loan shark that kills the customers that don't pay up isn't going to be in business if they do that often. Great tips there. Feels like you need to keep a pen and paper by your side so you don't have to overly rely on the game keeping tabs on things that may or may not be recorded for future reference.
This game blows me away by how much in depth little details have been hidden away
Yes! There's so much depth to the game that most people don't realize
Your videos convinced me to buy this game. I've been having a blast
Love to hear it! That's awesome!
Me too
I didn't know 18, but most of the times I'm after what comes after the first letter. Didn't know 49 or 50, but didn't use code breakers or loaning money either.
I think more important than the burning barrels are the heat packs you can buy from the newspaper machine or supermarkets I think. Cramps up the inventory, but can help you when you expect to go from a freezing vent straight into a fight.
Really informative, cheers. Might have to rewatch it a few times to remember it all lmao
Fun tips! Codebreaker one gonna be a game changer tbh
Another tip. You can actually drop items in your own apartment after finishing the 1st case and just sell them. You don't need a pawnshop. The game is currently bugged, you can also move everything into the storage and sell them. And then click on move everything to storage again, you will find everything you just sold now pops right back and you can sell them over and over. Basically, you only need 1 diamond and use this bug to make 100,000 cr in a single day.
I haven't actually done this but I've read it before as people have suggested it.
I might be wrong, but I feel I just read a few days ago that it might have gotten patched. Not sure entirely tho.
I want you to know, I watched this video twice, commented twice, subscribed, and liked the video. I have paid my debts.
I just bought this game on steam sale and you are an absolute godsend!
Thank you for your content as it's helped me climatise to the game.
Glad I could help! Hope you're enjoying the game!
Awesome video, thanks for putting it together! - Liked & Subbed 💫
A LOT of this is useful - subscribed! But it just shows you how this is probably one of the deepest games released this year!
when i watch your vidoes i always wanna play shadows of doubt again such great videos
Even just making videos for it makes me always want to start up a brand new city and play lol, so I understand.
Thank you for watching the vids! And the kind words!
hey man, i have binge watched your entire series and it is amazing! keep up the good work and it will definitely pay off, maybe even another game?
Thanks for the kind words!
Yeah currently waiting for some certain ones to release to jumpstart content on them!
Broo keep it up! Nice videos, im waiting for more episodes.
I'll have more coming!
such an amazing video, good job man, keep up the work!
I appreciate it! Will do!
Thanks again for the amazing videos. I ended up picking up the game after watching your vids so thank you for that too
Thats so cool to hear, thank you for watching the videos!
Glad to hear I could get you interested in the game!
Your videos are great man! Keep up the good work!
Will do! I appreciate the kind words!
Thanks for watching them!
I just discovered this, but if you have a newspaper in your inventory, use it. Then raise the newspaper as you would to read and you will be in hiding. Now leave it like that while going to your inventory again and place/drop the newspaper anywhere. After that you will still be in hiding.
That is an exploit. Only losers use exploits.
this the typa thing i watch before i excitedly buy the game or as its downloading but i actually bought the game before watching videos about it
Regarding the Door Wedge: I used one for the first time in a recent break in ehm i mean investigatuion.
Turns out: If a Citizen absolutely needs to use the door they will break the wedge, leaving a working door and a broken wedge behind. This Wedge cannot be used nor put back into the inventory (like a used Codebreaker).
At 10:59 You can actually keep the same newspaper with you at all times; it will automatically update. Bonus tip: sales ledgers also update, whenever I get hold of one, I just pin it to a blank case I never close. I'm guessing it will be fixed eventually, though.
Thanks for the video, game looks like a blast! I loved the old Tex Murphy detective games back in the day, not played a good one since. Hope this one scratches the itch for Tex Murphy detective gaming :)
So far I haven’t finished the video but I’d just add a tip to the first tip. After a while you just know so many phone numbers, it’s possible that you already know the person who you looking for. If at the beginning you just got a phone number and an unknown person to track down, when you pick up the phone, don’t type in the number, instead just scroll down at your contacts (where you can check the last caller or identify the number) and you’ll see that the number belongs to XY.
I was wondering where to find a phone route, thank you for the tips
about a third of these are explained in the tutorial :P but i did learn 3 things so kudos :)
Good to hear!
And yeah I did add a good chunk from the tutorial, honestly because I think the tutorial speeds over a lot of information.
Plus I'm willing to bet a lot of people didn't even play the tutorial before jumping into their own city.
A wonderful video, Thanks for all the tips!
Of course! Thanks for watching!
Love the video, learned a lot from this one!
Love your videos man, I picked the game up after nerdcubed praised it and found your channel afterwards, glad I did
I'm glad you did too, it's good to have you be a part of the channel!
Thanks so much for watching the videos, it means a lot to me!
These are legit pro tips, thanks!
No problem, I appreciate you watching!
This video is an essential resource for players, new and old. I’m new myself, yet, can’t help but notice that the last time you uploaded was over a month ago.
I know that isn’t long in the grand scheme of things, but I have to ask…Have you stopped making videos on Shadows of Doubt? or are there more coming?
I’m praying there are more in the pipeline because after I’ve binged the remaining vids, there’s gonna be a YOU-shaped hole in my life. Please keep me…. er…. Filled up 🤔😅
Regards!
Thank you for everything you've said, it means a lot!
I still plan on making more Shadows of Doubt content, as well as other games along the way. Honestly I've just been going through a bit of a creative block. Have a lot recorded, so I'm hoping to have something out soon.
But there will definitely be more SoD!
@@thatboywags Hey, no problem man. Honestly, for the amount of subs you have, the quality of your content is extremely high. It’s quite rare to see such a thing.
Also, I listened to what you said at the end of your ‘STREET VENDOR SUSPECT’ video, and it’s totally understandable that you’re spreading the videos out. You don’t want yourself or your viewers to get burned out on the content, and that’s fair.
I heard you say you were looking for suggestions for games. I’m into fairly obscure games with unique mechanics, so could definitely throw you some names. It just depends on the sort of thing you’re looking for?
I love the attention to detail in this game
AYYYYY been waiting for the next upload, keep it going bro I love these videos!!!
Will do fam! Thanks so much for watching them, it means a lot to me!
I'll have more soon, as always!
@@thatboywags no worries man, like I said in the last video I'm here to stay :)
i had a case that took me 7 hours to solve and only lead i had was fingerprint on a bussines card that said something like "Didnt have what it takes" i went around the town investigating and i had 3 dead ends and i was frustrated,then i looked at the internet and it was so easy to solve that i was angry and relieved at the same time.I had to go to the workplace of the victim,find the employes files and just scroll until i find the preson with the fingerprint...when i solved this case i lay down on my chair defeated,because i expected some incredible story behind the murder but no it was just coincidence and easy to solve..
U cheated lol
Your videos made me buy the game. it’s so fun
That's awesome to hear, fr! I've been having a great time with it as well, and it's been cool being able to spread it to so many other people!
Thank you for watching the videos!
@@thatboywags I've always thought that when someone buys a game based on a content creator's video that they should get a percentage of the sales! :)
Damn I thought I knew almost everything about this game. This taught me a lot thank you 🙏 great video
No problem!
This video is so helpful. Thank you!
Tip #51 Grab items select them in your inventory and Click scan to get the fingerprint
On 34: Might be a bit late and others might know about it, but I haven't seen anything about it; I found an interesting interaction when it comes to using stacks to get to higher places. Instead of trying to stack up a bunch of stuff to get over a wall, you could jump over it by throwing the object down and jumping at about the same time. Similar to rocket jumps in other games. However, when you start changing your character's height it becomes really finicky and buggy. It works fine going down a size, but with maxed shortness it doesn't seem to work at all and objects can even disappear when they clip in/out of other entities like walls and cars. I assume it's the same with increasing size, but I'm not sure. I would need to find another syn disc to test that out.
Unscrewing lightbulbs! OMG this just saved me a massive headache.
Thanks for the information, now i can help the criminals.
Great vid man
Quick question: I’ve always wondered if you can ask the enforcers for entry to a crime scene like how you can ask a tenant? I’ve never seen anyone try it or even talk to the enforcers.
That'd be a great option, but as of right now no, you can't. You get the same dialogue options with them as you do with regular citizens. Half the time they don't want to talk to you.
However if you have a guest pass to someone's apartment, and it's also the scene of a crime, then enforcers won't care you're there.
Best solution at the moment: if you can get there before the enforcers and there is still a partner alive in the apartment, you can ask for entry and get to fingerprinting before the enforcers get their grubby hands on everything.
thank you sou much for the info, was great!
Glad to help! 😊
13:44 there’s a vent there. Do enforcers use vents?
I didnt know about number 6, 18, 36, 44 great vid.
Thank you!
something happened kinda similar to number 35 when I played but someone did find a body, they just kept walking in the same path and constantly asked the corpse if it was ok. It made it soooo hard to get evidence from that body.
Hey :) Just want to say I really enjoy these videos. There's so little great Shadows of Doubt content here on YT. Hope you're doing alright. Been missing these uploads.
Should have new videos out here in the next few days, and then planning on making more SoD content!
Thank you for watching the videos!
omg I love that you referred to sam as they ^-^ I was thinking cause sam is a gender neutral name so it would make sense to refer to them as they and then u did!
I'm so sorry. I gave you a thumbs up, but I am leaving after watching only 90 seconds of your video. Because I don't yet have this game, and you just sold me on it. Heading over to buy it now. I'll be back once I get into the game!
Cool man
You can bring out the watch from your inventory at any time (hotkey 3) and use it to wait anywhere. You don't need a seat.
Weird, I've always had to sit to use mine. If I bring out my watch using the hotkey while I'm standing, its just to see the time. I get no option to wait.
@@thatboywags I may be misremembering, then.
I had a case called the Lip-Stick killer, she left a heart at every murder, first victim was a street vendor who was a neighbor to them, second was their boss, I knew who it was as soon as I looked at the adress book.
I've gone days with no murders
So your tip had me find em
its about 10 things I didnt know so thank you
Thanks for watching!
Very good video, not going to lie
I appreciate it! 👌
I have no idea why this game isn't far more popular?
The graphics.
Okay, I didn't know the fingerprints are on the employee photos - that's cool
I just had to use a tip to solve my first case. It was a stalker murderer. They kept leaving notes with random letters in her name slowly filled in. Issue is I have no idea what connection they had. First murder victim was in the street. Went to her place and there was a note with first names only, no other info. After the second murder victim had virtually nothing but dead ends I used the government system thing to just look up the people the first jotted down and sure enough, that lead to matching the prints. The killer was a worker for a hotel penthouse bar, but would stalk out of a DIFFERENT bar for her victims. The first somehow had her name jotted down... yet didn't recognize her stalking her? lol. The second though, I saw NO correlation. Besides just them frequenting the same bar? That one killed me.
It will be nice to make an optimization guide for this game.
Hey boywags, please do more content about shadows of doubt !!!
Babbler also makes the game better! Great mod!!
Thanks now I'm going to rename all the businesses in town, Henry's. After my cat Henry.
Didnät know about the Call History in the basement, helped me solve a "Cold Case" where I couldn't work out who the Suspect is except a Phone number
Holy crap I have played so many hours on this game and never knew you could move the doormats to check for keys
Didn't follow the tutorial then? Like most! :)
Man please make more shadows of doubt content. This game needs more recognition and info on it
We should be getting a content update sometime this month so I'll def be getting back into it
@@thatboywags oh fuck yeah man! Keep up the good work love your videos!
