When no murders were happening, I was just asking every citizen if they saw anyone suspicious. I didn’t expect anything of it until to my surprise they suddenly started saying they was someone angry and gave me an address. I rushed there and got to see a murder before it happened! I stopped it from happening and knocked out and arrested the killer to save the day. But alas. I got no money from doing that. So I left without saving, camped out outside the building, then waited for the murder to happen first so I could fill out the form afterwards and get money from it lol.
So nothing for playing hero, only for allowing for death...
@@youtubeuniversity3638 just like real policework sadly.
"Being a hero makes you feel good, the victim be unharmed and the neighbourhood feel safe... But there ain't no food gon be on your table."
- Idk, some random quote I feel I'd read in a neo-noir detective story.
I didn't even know it was possible to witness a murder happen.
@@Grunttamermaybe only in ur country mate
"Two murders back to back? This is amazing!" said in any other circumstance would be quite the psychotic take.
In america, only 2 is a good day
"I'm so happy we got another murder so fast"
Exactly, haha
Otherwise completely understandable in this dystopic setting
Imagine if they add a morgue and sometimes the body gets moved to the morgue before you can get there, and you have to break into the morgue to analyze the body.
Also, the "let's play" note thing should point to the next victim rather than to the killer.
That is a really good idea. I had a case yesterday where that 'let's play note' was literally the only thing pointing to the killer - they had absolutely no connection to the victim and I found her lying in the middle of the street with no fingerprints or footprints. Had it not been for that note, it would have been an absolutely perfect crime. The city hall accepted the note as the proof, but realistically that could have just been planted by anyone. Pointing to the next victim would have definitely made more sense and give it an interesting challenge of protecting the next victim.
@@indigoeye3874 The note still has fingerprints, though. I used those as evidence
@@indigoeye3874litterally just had the same thing last night, only prints I had were on that letter, but because it was in the middle of the street and im still kinda new, I didn't know if the note was actually murder related or just random street decoration stuff, took another murder occurring too get it solved because other then that I had NOTHING
I love how Insym periodically beats up the janitor of his own appartment building . It's like : How many times do we have to teach u this lesson old man !
Make sure to throw the unneeded briefcase away or into the ocean otherwise it bugs out the next time you're supposed to receive a briefcase at that location.
The door wedge is an under rated reusable tool. You can block people from entering into the room you're searching by placing it where you would normally peek and pick it up when done. It's great for the rare times you reach a murder scene before the enforcers.
Removing handcuffs bugs if you've knocked them out and placed cuffs on them so to fix it you save and reload.
From my experience, Enforcers can still barge down the door even with a door wedge unfortunately. I’ve mostly used it when doing non-murder investigations and I don’t want the home owner coming home while I’m searching it.
What do ghosts and criminals have in common? Both are terrified of being hunted by Insym 😂
Agreed 😂
Don’t forget the ghost criminals too
Fact right there! 🤣
not sure if anyone mentioned these:
- you can use TAB to open a minimap. vent system is there as well and it's updated real time. cameras, lasers, doors, electric boxes, vents are there too, if you can see inside the room.
- you can lean with Q and E keys. this doesn't seem to move your collision box, so you can look behind corners safely.
- you can peek under doors. the interaction point is at the bottom of the door. visibility is quite poor, but maybe you can use it to see if there's a light turned on inside three room.
- there's a CONNECTIONS tab on any evidence card that has everything you remember about a thing (where person lives, who lives in a flat, who works there, what fingerprints you found on an object, etc).
- you can be robbed, with stuff stolen from your flat (or maybe that's just items despawning) but items put in a safe stay, well, safe.
- "sugar baby" disk, I found it quite an interesting addition. it puts quite a severe kola addiction on you, so you have to slurp it quite regularly (no need to finish a can in one go). as a side effect, you pretty much always hydrated and energized. you can roleplay that is not kola, but some meds you need to constantly take.
- when going through an office you should logout and login again (if you have a passcode) because more often than not, not a correct person is logged in (look at this as an admin logging in after work to run update or something). this will also bind a passcode to a proper person.
- another one for the office: there's always a code for camera room somewhere in the office. I personally often find it in the kitchen or a receptionist.
- you can use irl numpad for phone calls and keypad panels. wouldn't recommend for computer logins, it triggers keybinds there because you are technically in-game, not menu.
- fingerprints on suitcases all point to one person. I'm not certain whether it's a bug or feature, but yeah, scanning it is pointless.
@Insym , ignore the folks that complain about you giving feedback. We see that you have fallen in love with this game. Watching your videos has made me love this game. Keep up the amazing content. You are a wholesome person and that's why so many people love you. Take care of yourself!!
I once asked the murderer (after arresting him) about the victim, and he said "Oh yeah, I saw them at [victim's address] at [time of murder]. They seemed to be in a hurry." Just oof.
By the way, something you can do with passcodes: You can pin the notes with passcodes on your detective board and when opening doors with codes you can open the note and click the passcode to autofill the code.
I started playing this game because of you. You make it look easy though 😂 I struggled for a while and actually got shot in the leg during the first case and hid in the perps closet until it healed
I swear Insym has the best timing, like I just finished to watch the video of the smartest criminal and then the first thing in my feed is this video, damn gotta see it right now
I started watching you because I enjoy how much of a completionist and strategist you are. I often listen to you while I’m cleaning or working. This series has been something I’ve watched actively because I was so invested. I even replayed the videos multiple times to rewatch scenes I missed. I bought the game too and have been having a blast. This series and dredge have been my favorites by far
I hope you play this game a lot and explore more games you just play for fun. I’d definitely watch you play sims
*knocks out like 10 people* "this city is truly safe in our hands" lol You're the best, Insym. 😂
One thing that is great about this series is that it feels more engaging with the YT community. There is more of a chance to interact as opposed to watching a previous livestream where all the engagement happened and we're watching the result of it. Although it can be fun to watch the vods as well, I like this format.
I'm loving this series so much. I'm going to be so sad when you're finished. Just got to hope they do a ton of updates so we can continue to come back! I normally only get addicted to horror games, but this one is so special! ❤
This series is so contagious that I started playing it. You make it look easy lol but its hard. But getting the hang of it. For now I can't stop watching you solve crimes around and doing side quests. Thank you for the upload again.
I am still very curious about Angelina. Her name always seems to be in the background for lots of cases. Maybe you could try looking her up in the database and putting the blood hound tracker on her?
pretty sure it’s just a spam email that everyone gets
@@ohmygahwd_imgay Would be funny if u could track down the spammers and arrest them / steal from them
She's been very active in my playthrough in New Amsterdam too.
my theory is that she's slept with everyone in the city at least once, a true legend
@@ohmygahwd_imgay ah I see that would actually make sense then. But is she not an actual person in the city? I need someone to try to check her name in the database to confirm 😆
I've been loving these videos so much! You make it so fun to watch and solve mysteries alongside you, keep up the great work. I really hope the dev keeps it up too.
Damn it Insym, I just finished the playlist and finally didn't have anything to distract me, then you go ahead and upload another video!
Absolutely loving the series so far though, and I'm really glad I saw your videos on this game! I kinda had it in the back of my mind since seeing the demo ages ago, but didn't know it had released so I went and picked it up myself after I saw your videos!
Bravo Insym! This series is great fun to watch! I hope you enjoy this game for a good while, because I will keep watching. You are very talented at running commentary for 3 hours straight, your audience doesn't even realize the time has passed. Much love! ❤
Having a blast watching your playthrough! Impressed you solved the murder case in the last video :D
oh man your channel is SO good. im playing shadows of doubt and watching this series and im having a blast! thank you so much :)
I love seeing insym enjoy a game as much as he seems to enjoy playing this one, investigating everything and figuring out what happened and why as you discover more stuff, I haven't missed one episode and I got the game, waiting on some time to try it out, you're the GOAT Insym, quality handcrafted content entertaining and versatile, I hope to see you keep growing!
Can’t wait to watch this later!! I’m going to miss this series so much when it’s over. I love you insym ❤ you are so amazing
I've had so many crazy cases/bugs in this game. It's so much fun.
There was one murder case where the partner was just leaving the house when I got there, but I guess the cops thought he was trespassing and shot him dead. I had the Retired Reaper case that happened just outside of City Hall on the street and the killer was the Commissioner who left a word scramble calling card. I went to her house to find evidence and as I walked out, she pulled out a machine gun and started shooting me. I had an arrest case where the only info I had were fingerprints and that they worked in a factory. I had to sneak my way through the entire factory to obtain all the employee files one by one and then run their names through the government database to find a match.
Seriously having a great time with this game. Hope there's lots of updates/bug fixes in the near future. And I'm really enjoying your play through. Btw, you can close the blinds in offices so you're less likely to get spotted.
"you gotta criticize the stuff you love so it gets better" that's basically motto of most of QA testers (me included) CC is crucial in making a good product (be it game, mobile app, web app or anything at all). I wish more people knew how game dev process works 😅
i LOVE this series, now its my favourite on your chanel! everyday i cant wait for a video. thanks for a great work!!
welcome!
I love the way people flop when you barge into the door while they're at it.
Just can’t stop watching these awesome videos. The longer the better ❤
Eyyo Insym nice vid^^ If you press X instead of F it shows you the amount of money you would be charged for for vandalism(In general it shows you a description of that upper left sidebar). That's the amount it tracks for these mission. Love you and keep it up^^
I love this series I am really plan to buy this game!
On the other hand recently I played some CSPPI and I found out how the audio counter works. When you release a fresh new CSPPI video I'll write it down there of if I catch a live then there!
Have a nice day Insym and YT!
As a note, Penelope is mostly pronounced "Peh-nell-oh-pee"
this had me absolutely cracking up
Well it depends where you're from because in Belgium, France and the Netherlands (and probably other places in Europe) that's how you say Penelope 😅
@@rab4423 huh. Interesting.
do you remember a timestamp?
@@swordandsheild1I don't know if you still need this, but the timestamp is 1:32:09
I wake up every morning looking forward to these daily videos! Love it!
Great to see you playing this!
Oh Insym, little info from the last vid: You don't need someone working at the counter to buy food. You can use a Menu in the store instead!
And please, if possible do a large city playthrough before taking a break! I love how you puzzle through the case clues, I learn so much (I'm terrible at it, but you're quite good!).
Thank you for continuing this eries insym!
I took the advice of scanning briefcases and I noticed almost all of the briefcases seemed to have the same fingerprints on them, on my third case trying this out the case was to photograph someone, when I got to the end I got the fingerprints of who I was taking a picture of and it was her! Lady literally dropped off the briefcase with her own information in it 🤣The poster of the case was her next door neighbor.
We are so spoiled! Another insym SoD vid? Grab your popcorn and get watching :D
Also, a question for insym, (if he sees this) are you going to keep playing this series after you reach level 10 in that prestige thing? I’m going to miss this series so much :)
Nevermind, wasn’t done w/the video yet :)
I love how toward the end of the video Insym paid absolutely no mind to the creeper in the bathroom stroking his billy club, and just went on with his day. XD No comment or anything. I would have paused and at least gone "WTF?"
LOVE WATCHING YOU PLAY THIS GAME!!! THANKS!!! ❤❤❤
I think that having a family member that lives with you and help you in someway can add some richness to the plot, just imagine. You falied at resolving a case and the next murder could be your significant one that you are starting to like (also kinda in that note) would be amazing if serial killers would kidnapp víctims and the case became a race against time.
Oh Boy, this game is in early access and already is amazing...and the fact that only can get better makes me really happy
Edit: also having a office or reciving Jobs in your apartament kinda like a Noir detective movie
Thank you AGAIN for more of this content!
I don't know about you all, but knowing this is still an Early Access game gives me so much excitement for what's to come in the future with it and our favourite content creator!
Same! I can see this being like Phasmophobia and just keep updating and transforming overtime
Absolutely amazing series!! So glad it's the daily uploads, but remember to take care of yourself insym💜
I'm so glad you found this game. It's so fun and addicting to play, but also watch you
I'm happy you enjoyed the door tip, Insym.
Also, failing a case just means you get the penalty listed on the form. You keep the case and get to try again.
yesssssss another shadows of doubt video to binge watch!!!
For the vandalism case (55:09 where you had to break windows in a window-less apartment) you maybe could have tried breaking the glass on the shower before giving up so easily.

Keep it coming!
Loving this series!
Ok, Im loving this series/game. keep the vids coming.
Insym :«This city is safe»
Insym 5 minutes earlier: beating up everyone in sight with a truncheon to arrest one person
1:18:02
Insym: it wasn’t me
Also Insym: continues to hold the Truncheon
Hey from Germany i installed some translation software just to say that you are my favorite RUclipsr
oh my god another video already? you are awesome ❤
I think you come across very clearly about criticism of the games you play. For what it's worth. I actually really think you have pretty good notions about a lot of things in these goofy games. For what it's worth. Also I really enjoy this and sons of the forest series. Great stuff. Big fan.
Had my own retired Reaper case, perp was 22 and a Janitor at City Hall. Decided to wait to arrest and do a ride along for their next murder. When they decided it was time, they ran from their basement apt. to the pawn shop to buy a syringe and poison, as id confiscated thier previous ones, generating a sales receipt. Then ran to their chosen victim, lockpicked their door and slashed them.
They then did something in a room of the new victims house, that I couldn't follow, calmly walked to the bar to buy a drink, then to one of the black market tool shops to use their restroom, before heading home and going to bed.
City Hall lacks a Janitor's closet, and their place of work did not physically exist.
Ive been using the map by pressing TAB while moving which been very helpful specially in analyzing vent locations while checking the floors.
Additionally phones have a quick dial number to identify the last call received, current phone of the location and call the police.
this game is so much fun to watch!!!! i cant wait to see more
I agree with you about Challenges, Insym! It would be fun to have a setting to disable fingerprints, or something like that! I'm actually starting a new game now, where I have a rule for myself to not get fingerprints from people, unless I find documents with it. Let's see how it goes.
My career ended with a four-time serial killer, someone similar to your retired reaper. Never solved it though, I retired and started a new, small world.
In this world I'm putting every person into an excel spreadsheet so I can actually search for hair colors and stuff like that, and I'm enjoying it so far
“Did I just discover Cthulhu in this house” 😂😂😂
Hi insym today i played this game i got this exact murder case an hour ago , thats so cool i love this game :)
1:27:30 - the reason you failed one case and “missed a call” is because you accepted two vandalism cases at the same time, called both numbers for the cases right after eachother, each of which gave you a different location to be in to receive a call about each job. Meaning you basically accepted to be in two different places at once to pick up the phone and yet you can only be in one place at a time. So you only made it to one of the calls, the one you just finished when the other case failed.
Hey Sym, great video as always. Maybe in future for interaction mishaps (like the arrest not seeming to register) try using the trick you mentioned earlier in the series by flipping to another case? It's worked for me in the past
it did register it after submitting
Insym: *knocks on door*
Suspect: *Opens*
Insym: ... *FBI OPEN UP!*
I can't wait for the episode when that CJ NPC will be involved in something. :D
If you have a number or passcode on a note in your case board, you can click it to dial it or enter it on the keypad. The number usually has a slightly different background to indicate this.
Regarding Framing:
as mentioned earlier... have some calling cards point to the next victim
have them set up a fingerprint to frame someone, but be able to double check the surveillance cameras to see if the person with the fingerprint showed up
have people know each other through other things than work or address book, like gym memberships or being a regular at a restaurant
flavor only: differing food in the different restaurants
have people report they received a threat on their life and ask for protection
have "have you seen someone suspicious" point to an eye-witness sometimes instead of the killer so you can interview that person and they say what they saw
Make emails mean something rather than just be recycled stock emails.
Would be interesting if they added DNA as a way to catch someone, like hair or blood. Maybe the victim tried to defend themselves so there is a knife on the floor with the victims print and the perps blood on the blade. Ooo maybe attempted murder cases so you can get victim statements. Or stalking to find out where a perp is, because theyre in hiding. Or "find out if my husband is cheating" . So excited for future updates from the devs!!
honestly i think this game could make all the additions they wanted regarding mechanics to track and figure out the killer like fibres or different clues that could be dropped or left behind, maybe tracks of how they broke in and also background on why they did the murder to go all the way back to who did it, seems like as of right now fingerprints linked to a couple obvious clues are the only way of telling who the killer is but the game is at such an early stage, they have a lot of potential and room to improve and make this as close to what investigating in real life would be, there are a lot of fields to cover to improve the immersion and add more variety of ways to solve and also a bigger variety of cases
Could also use NPCs moving to new addresses and getting different jobs to make hoarding information less effective.
Veselý! I love to see the game having names from all over the world! This surname is from my country, Czechia, and means 'Happy'. That weird 'ý' thingy just means long y (the thing above the vowel always makes it long), and it's read as 'e' in english.
Also, yesterday when I played, I foound the killer just as she was about to kill the second victim - just like you said in the video, the crumbled paper was my only lead, I didn't even have fingerprints! I quickly jumped at her and handcuffed her. And then the to-be-victim, instead of thanking me for saving his life, punched me in the face. 😅 I quickly searched her while getting beaten up and found her gun. The victim saw it and ran away, still not even thanking me or apologizing. So rude.
And while investigating this case, I had to speak to the killer's coworker, whom I coincidetally arrested not even 12 hours earlier as a side job. It was a bit awkward and she refused to tell me absolutely anything. Which, fair. 😂
1:30:45 , Oh I remember that bug clearly, I could literally see the briefcase laying there, but it was covered and huddled up against a garbage container and rubble, making it literally impossible to grab. fun times.
Just had my craziest case so far. Got a murder notif, went to the crime scene, inspected body, fingerprint, the whole thing. Next thing I always do is go check out the victim's workplace and get all the info on their coworkers. When I got there, the foreman of the plant was already chasing an employee around with a rifle, like 4 hours after the first murder! Thankfully I already picked up some handcuffs from the city hall on my way there and was able to run up behind her and get her cuffed... jesus christ that woman was on a rampage.
The theft perp in the case at around 1 hour in looks familiar because she was the first theft perp you had in this city...and she stole the same thing the second time, just from a different person! The first person she stole from was someone she worked with.
Love this series, keep going back to it as you need to concentrate on the details & i've been a bit busy... For sone reason this game reminds me I need to get a hair hair-cut lol..
bro u make amazing vids 💖💖
if you have a lot of time. i reccomend doing door knob sweeps. if you go throu every door knob in every building, you can narrow down people by the letter of their fingerprint.
I think the fastest case I ever solved was when the murder happened in room 402 of the building I was in. I ran up to see the neighbor walk out and go to his room. Found his fingerprints on a crumbled paper ball and walked over before the police even arrived and cuffed him
welp its time to abandon my sleep xD
Thanks for more shadows of doubt!!
Love your video, love from a nepal❤❤
"Even the slam dunk cases are super satisfying."
That's because the world is simulated. The game isn't doing any handholding, and its not doing scaling the difficulty up if youre doing well.
When its a slam dunk, its because you put the pieces together and it feels good. When you're struggling its because you missed something, so youre frustrated with yourself, not the game.
Every case feels satisfying because of this. The developer is so good, im surprised and i love it.
100% agree for the largest city option for the next playthrough. That would make it a lot more fun/realistic.
I think in the future, the game could benefit greatly from an "investigation difficulty" setting where killers do not leave as much evidence until they do multiple kills. Essentially doing a similar thing to how evidence is hidden in Phasmophobia.
This would reward people who can solve cases with less evidence but as they kill more, the killer becomes more and more likely to leave evidence so you will eventually be able to narrow it down. This will also benefit people who aren't as thorough as they will eventually gather enough evidence through multiple crime scenes.
Great video :))
Fun fact: you can hide under the bed and under desks. Idk if there are more places but that’s what I’ve found so far.
My first murder case, I was investigating my prime suspect’s apartment when their partner came home. I quickly ducked under their bed and he ended up going to sleep while I was under there lol. That case was actually pretty intense because I actually found some emails on her computer that were literally hits. I was freaking out because she’d gotten another target and I couldn’t figure out where she was because she was unemployed so I was scared she was murdering the next person. Ended up running into her in the lobby.
Another fun fact: if you’re following someone too close they will freak out.
I have recently started to play and, oh boy, this game is fantastic! One of my favorite cases for now, is when I got murder case. Arrived on place, took some intel but police came VERY fast so I haven't much. I had to run. I used vents and moved to other house but something feels of. I find out... second body in the same period of time and in neighbor house! The same ki*ler (corpo ki*ler or something). Off course I started to asking other people around and searching begin. First my suspect was partner of first victim, because he at that hour supposed to be home but wasn't. Later on, it wasn't him so I looked into job place of both victims and it was one of their coworkers. I have possibility to figure this out at that stage only because of body build of that person (that witnesses tell me about someone suspicious). It is still little junky game with some bugs and it is funny when criminals just telling you "yea I saw victim in their apartment when they were killed, it is me"but some updates and I think we can call it even GOTY. I never saw anything similar to this, this have so much potential.
I feel like one of the additions that further updates should introduce is collected evidence when you do not get to the crime scene early enough. That would mean that clues are stored in some public (and preferribly defended) institution that you'd need to infiltrate as well, AND look for the evidence pertaining to the case you are investigating.
That could even cause you to "discover" and receive bounties for other cases you weren't even aware of before.
One hopes.
After you get to retirement, I definitely recommend playing on extreme difficulty. It’s a fun challenge 😎
What does it change?
@@420cactusgaming7 the difficulty :^)
In my playthrough I've figured out who the fingerprints belong to that are all over all of the briefcases. Turns out he was the owner of the underground gambling den in my city. Kind of makes sense that he is a sort of information broker, but it hasn't helped me link anything to the cases either so it's a dead end lead for me all of the times. I wonder who the mysterious information broker could be in your city.
Keeping only 4 cases active at a time can also help to get murder cases a little faster. Loving the series❤
No that's not required. A murder case will show up as a 6th case if you're already full of cases. Being at 4 cases does nothing
@@Insym btw i'm p sure from watching you play that you only get the arrest when you put in your case file. Otherwise if you're not sure who the killer is you can just arrest people until you get the objective
Edit: I watched on an saw you caught on anyway
Hi Insym, I've been watching your videos for awhile now. Keep up the good work!! I really love seeing you play. It really made my day for real.
I don't mind if you make mistakes sometimes. We all do in someway. Just keep on being you, enjoy the game and have fun. Haters gonna hate, but always remember, that some will always love your videos. Cheers!!
I played with Frame all the way at max height and all the way at min height and I have to say the min height was actually quite strong. It made it super easy to sneak around and it seemed like cameras almost never saw me.
I could be wrong but I think the final reflex upgrade is supposed to say "100% LESS damage"
This game is at the top of my list for sure!!
I figured out who the murderer was. I also figured out who their next target was going to be.
so i waited at the next target's house for a bit and minutes later the killer comes in and blasts the dude in the face with a shotgun!!!
Got some action and captured the murderer at the same time!!
10/10 would use citizen as bait again!!
The murdered janitor and his spouse the wait staff had handcuffs in the nightstand next to the bed and Insym just takes it. haha
lol well i doubt the couple needs it anymore
- smashes into the house
- KO's everyone
- steals a pack of tobacco
- rummages through trash
- looks for bath to wash away trash remnants, fails
- refuses to elaborate
- leaves
11/10 Sherlock Holmes would be so proud!
The door kick is a legend. It’s funny how you barge into someone’s house and knock them up with the wrong address🤣
The tall floor lamp, I was able to turn it on, but it has such a blinding white light to it.
Imagine someone knocking on our door like crazy, you open up, they close the door again in your face just to barge in and throw you 10 meters into your a second later, you wake up again, handcuffed, to a guy punching you unconscious not once but twice in a row xD
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but regarding the Arresting the killer and not having it fill in on the case sheet. If you run into that again just close the case sheet and open it up again. The game will then realise you have filled the full name in and tick the box since the killer is arrested.
I would love cases that are initially nigh impossible, like an expert serial killer, and you have to persistantly add to that case until they make a mistake
