About this mod Author’s original text
Shadows of Doubt Expanded
Adds three new serial killer archetypes to Shadows of Doubt, each with its own
victim/murderer selection logic, weapon pool, moniker, and a full set of
hand-written evidence.
This is a v1 release. More killer types, tuning, and the deferred features
listed below are planned for future updates.
New killers
The Neighbor
A neighbor got so angry that they couldn't cold the grudge back. These people act on impulse, some don't even regret it.
The Angel
They're convinced they're an angel sent by God to watch the sinful and cleanse the world from them.
The Closer
Don't let their charm fool you, they're opportunistic and very smart in what they do. They're greedy and want money above anything.
Requirements
- BepInEx IL2CPP pack 6.0.0+
- SOD.Common 2.1.4+
- AssetBundleLoader 2.0.3+
- DDSLoader 1.0.9+
All four are pulled in automatically by any mod manager (r2modman,
Mod Manager, Overwolf) — you don't need to install them separately.
Installation
Mod manager (recommended): search for "ShadowsOfDoubtExpanded" and click
install — dependencies are handled for you.
Manual: extract this package into your BepInEx/plugins/ folder, making
sure ShadowsOfDoubtExpanded.dll ends up somewhere under BepInEx/plugins
(a subfolder is fine). Make sure BepInEx, SOD.Common, AssetBundleLoader, and
DDSLoader are installed first.
Compatibility notes
- Adds itself alongside vanilla killer types — it doesn't remove or replace
any existing case types, so it should be compatible with most other
content mods.
- Should be safe to add to an existing save. Removing it mid-save isn't
tested; a killer type disappearing mid-investigation could leave an
orphaned case, so finish or abandon any active case involving these
killers before uninstalling.
Known limitations (planned for later updates)
- Some evidence item placements rely on a generic letter/note prop rather
than a bespoke asset, since not every "ideal" prop (e.g. a dedicated
ledger or diary mesh) reliably spawns inside a residential apartment.
This affects flavor only, not functionality.
Update Plans
- More killer archetypes with different ways of investigating.
- New props/items/evidences/leads/weapons.
- New types of cases other than murder and kidnapping.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
