When Arkane Austin was shuttered by Microsoft, many gamers wistfully wondered if this was the end of the AAA immersive sim. However, the genre is absolutely thriving in the indie scene.
These games are built around player choice, taking place in complex and crowded environments. Players have a variety of skill sets and strategies, such as brute force, hacking, or social manipulation.
It takes a lot of work for a developer to build a world complex enough to allow for all these choices, resulting in a uniquely satisfying experience.
Shadows of Doubt allows players to experience being a private detective in a procedurally generated, dystopian voxel city, emphasizing player agency and investigative skills.
