Shadows of Doubt Announces Major Update with New Modifiers and Features

September 18, 2025 - Shadows of Doubt, the critically acclaimed detective simulator, has just unveiled its latest update packed with fresh gameplay modifiers, exciting new features, and essential bug fixes. Players can now dive into an even deeper and more immersive experience as a private investigator in the procedurally generated city.
With this update, Shadows of Doubt introduces eight brand-new gameplay modifiers that offer unprecedented diversity to how players engage with the game:
- Film Noir Modifier: Immerse yourself in a classic noir experience with a desaturated black-and-white filter.
- Ironman Mode: Test your skills with limited save slots per character, intensifying the permadeath challenge.
- Gambling Debt Modifier: Start your investigation burdened with debt to a loan shark, adding stress and urgency.
- House Arrest Modifier: Confined to your apartment? Tread carefully as security treats you as a threat.
- Short-Sighted Modifier: Need glasses? Manage blurred vision and the challenges that come with losing them.
- Fame & Fortune Modifier: bask in fame but be cautious of public attention, including citizens chasing you for autographs.
- Snail Nemesis Modifier: Become immortal except to a relentless snail-inspired by the 'immortal snail' meme.
- Rat Detective Modifier: Abandon your trench coat and experience the game as a rat with climbing abilities.
In addition to these modifiers, players can now earn three new hidden achievements exclusively on Steam. The update also includes several quality-of-life improvements such as a rewritten player control rebinding system, bug fixes for issues related to depth of field effects, dynamic graffiti textures, muggers with cooldown timers, and more.
