LooseLips

Talk to anyone in Shadows of Doubt in your own words. Or shout at them. Or whisper.

A local AI answers in character — and what it says changes the world.

Read this before installing

This is an early release and it is still being worked on. There are known bugs and

rough edges. It is put out in this state so people can try it and tell me what breaks —

if something misbehaves, please open an issue

rather than assume it is meant to work that way.

It needs the free Player2 desktop app, installed, open and

signed in on the same machine. That app is what actually runs the AI. Without it the mod

loads but stays quiet, and citizens fall back to the game's normal dialogue.

If the game crashes at seemingly random moments, that is very likely not this mod.

Shadows of Doubt with BepInEx currently suffers from a.NET issue that breaks modded hooks

mid-session and can take the whole game down — any mod may appear to be the culprit.

Setting the environment variable DOTNET_TieredCompilation to 0 for your user account,

then restarting Steam, fixes it.

Ask a barman what he saw. Lie about being a police officer and watch the street scatter.

Lean in and whisper so only one person hears. Talk somebody into handing over the cash in

their pocket, into telling you where they saw your suspect, into walking away — or into

taking your side when the shooting starts.

Nothing here is a menu. You type what you want to say, and a citizen who has their own

personality, job, grudges and secrets decides what to do about it.

What makes it different from a chatbot

The model proposes, the game disposes. Every consequence is checked against real game

state before it happens. A citizen cannot hand you an item they are not carrying, cannot

summon police when no officer is in earshot, and cannot shift a relationship further than the

mod allows in one sentence. When the AI asks for something impossible, it is refused — with

the reason written to a log you can read.

So the worst case is a citizen who talks a big game and does nothing. Never a citizen who

invents a key out of thin air.

Installing

What you need first

| | |

|---|---|

| Shadows of Doubt | The game itself |

| Player2 | A free desktop app that runs the AI. Install it, open it, and sign in — the mod talks to it on your own machine |

| BepInEx 6 (IL2CPP) | The mod loader. The installer below sets this up for you |

The Player2 app must be running while you play. If it is closed, citizens fall back to

the game's normal dialogue and the mod tells you so.

The easy way — Mod Manager

• Install Mod Manager and pick Shadows of Doubt
• Search for Loose Lips and click Install
• Click Start modded

That is it. BepInEx and everything else comes along automatically.

The manual way

• Install BepInEx 6 bleeding-edge (IL2CPP) into your Shadows of Doubt folder
• Download the latest release from the Releases page
• Unzip it so you get BepInEx/plugins/LooseLips/LooseLips.dll
• Start the game

First five minutes

• Start the game with the Player2 app already open
• Press F4. The mod's window appears — the Connection tab should say Connected

(press Test connection if you are unsure)

• Close it, walk up to anybody, and talk to them
• At the top of the dialogue list you will see two new options:

• Say something… — normal speech, heard by people nearby
• Shout something… — carries much further, including into the next room

• Type a line, press Enter

The first reply takes a few seconds — the AI is thinking. The citizen shows a beat while it

does, and the game keeps running.

What you can actually do

Convince, threaten, lie, flatter, bribe. Depending on who they are and how they feel about

you, a citizen can:

• Tell you what they know — or be vague, or lie outright, depending on their personality

and whether the truth hurts them or somebody they care about

• Give up where and when they saw somebody — this arrives as a real lead in your case
