I Found a Professional Hitman in Shadows of Doubt 

Lore Master here! Or at least, I try to be because I love this game lol. I've been using my retirement case in my current longest play through to pin all the lore information and consolidate it. There's essentially two primary organizations/movements you'll run into in Shaodws of Doubt: The Red Gums are the one you'll probably find the most when working on murder cases. The Red Gums are a hyper-pro-capitalist organization. They're massive Starch supporters, and their advertisements can often be found in people's apartments, somewhat mirroring modern fascist talking points, and requesting that the reader send a certain amount of crows to "Luca Siempre." Sometimes on bank statements, you'll find that people have sent money to Luca, meaning they might somehow be involved with the red gums. Most radical Red Gums may have the Red Gum flag on display in their apartment (the red and black crossed one), or have multiple red gum advertisements. The opposite of this movement is called L.E.M. I've yet to find anyone who's actually somehow associated with it - the only way I've seen L.E.M in the lore is through the emails people get that say "Eden is dead." L.E.M is essentially the opposite of the red gums - they are anti-starch, but generally thought to be a "dead" movement. The public isn't particularly worried about them. Unlike the red gums, I don't think there is a way to tell if someone is a part of L.E.M. through evidence in their apartment, unless I just haven't come across it yet :)

can you imagine living in the apartment where an entire floor is either a murder victim or a murder couple 🤣

Not me screaming at the TV that Haruto was one of the first murderers, it was just coincidence it happened at the same apartment 😂

“Why is everyone hating me today?! I’m supposed to be beautiful talk to me” -hands down best line today 😂😂😂😂

1:19:50 I was like yelling at my screen that there was a bullet hole in the window

Standing in front of the killer's desk, looking down at him handcuffed in the middle of his workplace, and slowly sliding the case paper into HIS specific case tray, goes harder than anything I have ever seen in any detective or action movie. absolute peak comedic drama; pure cinema.

YESSSS nothing like just getting home and seeing INSYM posted a new SHADOWS OF DOUBT Video!!! So happy and excited now! Was playing shadows of doubt for 3 hours, ran to the store and now I see this!!! TYSM! 💙 If anyone else plays- How do you put furniture and stuff in your apartment? I've tried looking it up and can't find how to do it.)

What a plot twist LMAO 1:40:20 if this was live man chat would have lost their fing mind

45:00 I also had murderers 'disappearing' from the map. Once I couldn't find a person anywhere and was casually asking every other person in the city if they had seen the murderer. Finally, I have found the person who saw them in the basement of the hotel. All the people there were saying they saw them around 5 minutes ago. I was searching for them all around the basement and couldn't find them. I found them hours later in the basement -1 or -2 standing in the water, stuck in front of the bathtub in the toilet. All the people who saw them were 'seeing' the murderer through the floor. It was a very tough case, but the murderer didn't commit any more crimes because they were stuck

I think the reason the illicit businesses are in the directory like the other ones is because they're posing as legit businesses. They're always named oddly, but within the realms of standard. Like Hardware Supply Depot (a weapons dealer), Porcupine Post Trader (black market dealer), Greg's Butcher Shop (black market sync clinic), ect.

I hear this episode to die for! I can’t wait to watch this in full. Thanks for recording this and keeping this series alive!

Pro Tip: if you are being pursued, you can enter the elevator. You are the only person who can enter an elevator and you become completely invisible to everyone while inside. Your pursuers will act like they lost you. It feels like a cheap exploit so I can understand not wanting to use it but it can be very useful when escaping someone shooting at you. I left this in the last video but since I watched it a few days late I'm not sure if my comment got seen. Will post here in case you would like to use it!

I had totally forgot about Suzuki too 😂😂. Also, I had a shotgun murder. A cop standing 1 floor below the scene said they seen a sketchy person at the floor of the scene a few mins prior. When the metal security doors opened before cops set up the crime scene, the murderer was standing there in the hall beside the cop. He was trapped there by the security door. And he was covered in blood. 😂😂

Theres a mod that gives every single NPC a unique voice. So it's not just reading.

I love how this game can send you on so many wild goose chases, it really makes finally catching them feel so rewarding.

Personally id love to see an another playthrough after this one, this series has been really fun to follow along with

I just want to say thank you for introducing this game to us, Insym. It's absolutely incredible and I got it for myself after a few episodes of the Twitch series. I watched the rest of your SoD playthroughs and when I heard there's an update (thanks to you), I got back to playing right away! It's been one of my favorite games/series to watch and no one is playing it like you, giving it the proper respect it deserves. It truly is criminally underrated and I can't thank you enough. Also, framing another person for a murder would be a crazy fun addition! Or the wearing of gloves? Mad. Also 2.0, you can click the little "Aa" button in the lower right corner when opening notes/journals to be able to read it clearly. It switches the font to the game's default type font, not an assigned handwriting sample. It's been super helpful for me personally 😊

Yay!! I’ve been checking every day for this!! Also the murderer will only ever involve the victim, hopefully they will change that in the future because it would make it more interesting and more difficult. So the writing on the wall will only ever reference the victim and cases with a sniper murder weapon, will only ever come from across the street, so there wont be any evidence from the murderer. Having no one see the murderer since Wednesday should be a sign they have been either murdered or arrested previously! Everyone keep that in mind!

I feel like it would be annoying but also pretty cool if you could become a target of the murderers, it would give you something to watch out for as the game is extremely easy and you don’t need to worry about dying unless you do something stupid, obviously they should make it so you could stop the killer

Callie was one of the first people that died and the heart and “Callie & H Forever” just stays there like the drawings on the floor outside… just so happens that someone got killed in the same room as Callie 🤣 it surprises me that people will comment about where they saw Haruto but no one mentions that Haruto was arrested… would be amazing to have that added into the game and make it even more immersive!! ☺️

Man... with the ingame music that started playing right before your realization, that moment was pure art. The words "I've seen this face before. I've heard this name before" with that background music sounded like straight out of a movie. Cannot believe this happened and that you'd completely forgotten that case 😁 I hadn't watched the Valentine episode and I'm glad I hadn't because I was completely unsuspecting throughout the whole thing, and the revelation was unreal.

PLEASE keep playing this!! It's such a fun game, and thank you for introducing it to me. I played for like 4 hours straight yesterday haha. When I get a little better I think I'll stream it haha.

What i would love to see in shadows of doubt is a cold case option where you could playthrough a few hand made mysteries or something along those lines

Amazing! I loved every second of this! Slowly realizing that we've seen many of these scenes from earlier on in the playthrough was so much fun. Love Shadows of Doubt, I could watch this infinitely!

I LOVE these shadows of doubt videos. Not that I don't watch all Inysm's content, but there is something especially cozy about this series and I look forward to each episode!

I caught on early as soon as I saw "Callie and H forever" on the wall, and let me just say this was the best and funniest Shadows of Doubt video yet. I was laughing the whole time waiting for you to finally have that revelation that it wasn't Haruto afterall. Nice job on this one :)

My first murdercase in this new update i got a sniper case. There was no clue in the appartment from where they shot from. After checking gun dealer finally found him and went to arrest him. I was already been in his appartment when checking the trajectory. I arrested him while he was aiming to kill his 3 person.

Didn’t you say at the end of the last episode you heard a gunshot? Could that have been the sniper case happening?

Nothing better than watching his whole shadow of doubt series

Fun fact about sniper cases! If you happen to get one, look VERY closely at windows nearby. The bullet hole is hard to notice, but it can actually tell you what direction the shot came from, and it typically comes right from wherever the killer lives.

1:14:02 If you have trouble reading some handwriting you can click the "Aa" button at the bottom right corner of the journal - this will change the type of text that would be easier to read.

FINALLY Shadows Of Doubt! DEF my fav series, I find it sad that not more people know this masterpiece, thank you Insym! PS: Day 3 of asking doki doki I haven't seen anything about it so I don't spoil your playthrough too! (yes ik about the google forms since ages ty)

For the sniper cases, you can actually find a bullet and bullet hole in the area the person died and use that to find the bullet trajectory a lot easier and more accurately. Love this game so much and love watching you play it! Hopefully you play more soon even though you're so busy.

Yay!!! So excited to watch!! Been checking daily!

Let’s gooo!!! Just what I needed to start my weekend!! Much love as always, Insym! ❤👏🏻

Any hand written notes (minus password note) has a button with a capital A and a lower A, it will change the font back to standard for easy reading

I love watching you play this game! It’s so fun! Thanks for the videos!

I was definitely on this journey with you, it was a hell of a reveal

I made a max size city and started with no money. I beat the first murder case by sneaking into the workplace through a vent and picking up paperclips. I was never seen trespassing in the entire case, even though I didn't have enough lockpicks to shut down the office security system. It did help that the security went off when the murder happened, so the enforcers couldn't get to the crime scene. Would highly recommend playing on a large city with no money.

Holy shit this episode was fantastic! Also we learned two things: - Fingerprints in crime scenes STAY even if it was from the second episode! - The partners CAN actually continue living in the house of their murdered significant other. They just become outlawed for a while when the police are in their homes

I love this game and seeing you play it! Thanks for the more uploads of it ❤

Insym, TYSM for playing this masterpiece of a game, it's so amazing

There’s always something special about Shadows of doubt playthroughs! Excited to dive in💜

Soooo I'm absolutely addicted to this game, and it was because I enjoyed watching you playing it so much, and that the way this game is made is super smart! And I love the art style! I had to get it, my first couple of runs were a little sloppy, and I had to throw some cases away because I couldn't get anywhere with them...but now I'm more organised and have more ways to try figuring cases out, and the game simply has me hooked aha 🤘 🔥

What a treat! So glad it rained so that we could enjoy new shadow of doubt content haha This is from a tip more for last time - in my own playthroughs when both couples have the same handwriting, I realized that you could go into the house of someone from the address book and look at theirs to see which of the couple they knew. Then you know the order of the address bookand can either start from the front or back

Love this series! Such a fun game full of shenanigans 😄

Yay!!! another one, i've literally already watched every shadows of doubt video of yours lol

I'm in stitches laughing when the killer bmed you by saying: "Have you visited the crime scene" Hahahaha XD That is the most savage thing to say

45:56 I love this game, too, and I was excited for another video of it. Maybe you can sandbag the game by only solving certain cases, like ones that give discs or only murder cases.

I never understood the "higher you are in a building the richer". Who wants to spend 10 mins trying to get out of your apartment? The richer you get the less you want convenience?

Not me screaming at the screen that the man at the beginning said he saw the guy of average build on WEDNESDAY 7:30 am not FRIDAY 7:30 am

this game never gets old for me bc of the ABSOLUTE VIBE IT HAS ESP WITH INSYM

Great timing great video not late how could this be better

Such a cool episode! Thanks for the video!

this is actually one of the sickest games I've ever seen

You didn't see the broken window in the second murder. Cmon 😂

Awesome to see some more shadows of doubt! Something that may be useful is that if you ate close to a light source you can actually unscrew the light bulb which stops anyone from being able to switch the light on.

When I played this, I stole pool balls from a restaurant 😂 just back and forth until you stole all of them into your house lolll

AYAYAYAYAYAY Finnaly, i was waiting for this upload to come up, tysm

Wow, what a journey!! I absolutely adore this game. Looking forward to more :)

First time I've ever seen Fast Travel taken literally lol

Finally another Shadows of Dount Vid! Wife and I have been waiting for this! Keep them coming @Insym

What a wild goosechase that was so awesome to watch through, thanks Insym, saving the day from boredom as always

The OMG moment was incredible...

You mentioned needing to sell at the Pawn Shop, but you can also sell from your home in the home furnishing menu. Just drop objects on floor and sell them from the objects panel.

I literally love that you upload longform content all the time and it's always something interesting

I enjoy this series being an offline one much more that if it was with the chatters. If there was a live chat someone would've pointed out that those were separate crimes way before Insym got to that conclusion himself, so we would've never gotten that mindblowing revelation and reaction :D I have a suggestion for the next time we play Shadows - what if we tried solving cases without using fingerprints? No government database to look up people because that reveals prints, no employees directory usage for the same reason, and we can only use the fingerprint scanner after the criminal was put in handcuffs. So there will be always an element of uncertainty right until it's time to submit the case.

It sounded like you didn't notice in the previous episodes, but with the Sugar disk, it does state that the uninstall cost goes down by *5* when you buy colas. And since colas only cost 1-2, that means you can take the 5000cr, spend 1250cr on cola, and then uninstall for free, making a net profit of 3750 front-loaded, at the cost of having to carry around colas to sip on until you get through those thousand+ cans. The main downside is that you'll probably be dedicating an inventory slot to a cola can to sip on while you work.

Yay!!! More shadows of doubt ❤ ty for streaming more of this game.

yesss another video on shadows of doubt, been waiting

you dont need to take a picture of the person, just inspect them and add it to the caseboard then ask them about themselves

Hi Insym, you probably know this, but if you're struggling to read the letters, at the bottom right of the note screen there is a "Aa" button you can press to make the hand writing more readable.

I would also suggest checkin out some of the mods for this game. There is like a stock market one, and there is also a Text to Speech thing where the citizens can actually talk.

this episode had me laughing thanks insym!!

i was on that journey with you up until the second murder where i noticed the bullet hole in the window, wild ride bro, that room you said dont know what to do with is my "loot room" where i store stuff on shelves that i cant sell or keep for sentimental reasons like the murder weapons from my cases or my excess sync disks and upgrade sync modules :D

this series is amazing mannn, plss to more of those

I've been stalking your page for this video! I love this series/game.

Imagine a sniper case where the only plausible place they could shoot from is your apartment in game when you are at peak social standing but when you go into the apartment there is no evidence that anyone was there besides a bullet hole.

Hey Insym! You got me in the mood to play it, thanks!

I knew this would be good, but this was such a journey of a killer case

Just a hint: you can buy the equipment case and food/ case and keep it in a room and be ready when you get out. So you can buy stuff in your own home before going to your next case

Whats even better about this game is that NPCs are unique: you actually knew the voice of the first victim knowing that you met it and you remember it because it didn't just despawned

BEST CASE EVER! 🎉 super glad you played this game again Insym! ❤😅😊

34:10 Insym would love Hitman!😂

I can never get enough of this game and this was such a good, twisty case.

I have a terrible memory for names so what I started doing when I play this game is have a "case" that I use for notes - as well as locations of weapon dealers etc, I also keep a list of every killer I've arrested, and every victim (and their addresses). I've had times where I've looked for someone who wasn't in the game anymore for one of those two reasons, so it's helpful to have a list.

This video was like an actual movie, amazing please play more, I would not be against a large city playthrough

the mistake made this episode more entertaining for me tho lol love to see that this series is still being continued, even after all the levels achieved!

Finally! I love Lights of Certainty!

I would love to see as many playthroughs of this game as you want to play, Insym! It's a ton of fun to watch, and requires less of my brainpower than actually playing it (I suck at it). Honestly, even if I had just rewatched the last episode, I probably wouldn't have picked up on it being a sniper case in the same house as a previous murder. It's weird, actually; don't the partners normally get evicted when their partner dies? I guess they might not spend any time in the place, but it's still technically their address, so they can be murdered there. Maybe the scripting forces them to go there to get murdered, if they're 'chosen'. What are the chances that so much crime happened in such a small geographical area? This game is wild!

That was an incredible murder case, you were asking for hard cases and you got what you asked for. Which is kind of amazing because from my own experience with the game and new update, these are the easiest cases to solve. But when a murder takes place in a previous murder scene, with no bullet holes it kinda changes things, they truly broke the rules in this one. They hid their murder within other murders, genius.

It makes so much sense why the city hall receptionist didnt want to give you their name they were the current killer reminds me of L and Kira lol

1:50:39 I got one of these too on my playthrough. Evidence overlapping and people only tell you info about previous murder. It was real tough.

You should keep the notes you took for this murder because you have all the murders in one place lol. Good job figuring this one out, enjoyed your sloothery

That was the most gripping murder I've seen in this game. I realised something had borked so I was on tenterhooks waiting for the big reveal. Amazing stuff. I had wondered about serial killing when it was a love motive. I can understand how a killer motivated through work or gang activity can go on to kill more coworkers etc, but in a murder as personal as love, where does the second kill come in? Did wonder if Kill 2 (neighbour) was "getting rid of a witness" type scenario but I guess I'm still left wondering!

I'm a little over 10 mins in, and I can already tell this is going to be interesting. Cause I remember the other crime as well, but clearly insym doesn't between all the other games he's played in between. Now if only this was a livestream.. 😂

Noticed the hole in the window at the second murder, still watching to look how it'll turn out XD

I'm so glad to see the notification of a new shadows of doubt video

Thanks for making such good content👍

1st time playing the game, right after the tutorial case I didn't get a murder case for quite some time, only then after giving me one, it gave a 2 conflicting locations, like it gave me a different location on the pop-up message and on the detective board, I thought it was just bugged, but later on I realized that it was already the 2nd murder.. I managed to solve it but the murderer is literally the 1st person I asked about ''someone suspicious'', I was on my way to the crime scene back then that's why when I realized it, I had to run all over the streets to find her, in which, I got blasted by the people because I tried arresting her on the slums. Pretty funny for my 1st case
