Hopefully, such quirks will be reduced by the time Shadows of Doubt launches and won't interrupt the flow of the investigation too much. I also got a little confused when I knocked on the entrance to one apartment to check if the owner was home, and when he opened the door, a random passer-by in the corridor nonchalantly wandered inside. One character failed to notice me in his apartment despite standing right next to me, for instance, simply because I'd switched the light off, while the servers in the diner were apparently oblivious to me shimmying behind the counter to pick the lock on their staffroom. In a world as open and procedural as this, it's no surprise that the AI struggles to maintain a sense of realism, and the game is more comfortable with itself when you're alone. It has to be said, however, that these were among the more coherent close encounters I had with the citizens of Shadows of Doubt. Although sadly I took a wrong turn and emerged into another apartment, whose owner beat me up anyway. The next time I was in such a situation, I made a dash for the air vents and stealthily crawled out unseen.

On one occasion, I smashed my way out through a window as security guards closed in on my position, dropping to the streets below, at the cost of a few cuts and a leg injury (fortunately, I soon found a medical vending machine and bought a bandage and splint to restore full health). Much of the time, though, a hasty retreat is more advisable. Instead of cybernetically enhanced arm blades and assault rifles, you can put up your dukes and exchange blows, or maybe whip out a kitchen knife that you picked up from a nearby worktop. In such situations, fighting back is an option, but in this respect Shadows of Doubt is very much not in the vein of Deus Ex. You certainly don't want to run into anyone when you're on restricted private property, like in their bedroom rifling through the drawers in their bedside table, because they'll either start punching you or run off to raise the alarm (unless you've disabled it first). And that's if you catch them on a good day. Evidently, the dystopian nature of the randomly structured city-set in an alternate late 20th century-has left folk rather grumpy and untrusting. Indeed, talking to the locals and asking about their personal lives, or anything unusual they might have seen, tends to result in brusque dismissal. Locating fingerprints, of course, can be crucial to your case, although it's not easy to get citizens to offer up their digits to aid with identification. With enough picks and alone time you can get through any door, while the codebreaker will brute force a path through electronic keypads.

The tools of your trade, meanwhile-not only a keen eye, but also lockpicks, a code breaker and a fingerprint scanner-will help you access all that juicy evidence.
Any clues, objects or identities you find appear as a little card that can be arranged on an imaginary corkboard, even linked together with bits of coloured string. Pinning all your efforts together, quite literally, is your virtual investigation board. The task is made easier by some nifty tech in your possession.
