Game tip if you love obra din, outer wilds and the case of the golden idol
Hey guys, I recently head about a game called shadows of doubt. It is a puzzle game where you solve a murder in an immersive sim style city. It is overwhelmingly positive on steam. people seem te love it for the same reason they love the games I mentioned before. The game lets you figure it out yourself and makes you feel smart with incredible “aha!” Moments.
It’s out on steam and will come out on PS5 later this year. (That’s why this PS boy can’t play it yet) It sounds like something you would like.
