A quick guide to the different building types available in Shadows of Doubt as they appear in the city generation editor.
In order to generate a city, some buildings are required. These are a city hall, a diner, a number of buildings containing apartments, and an office space such as the industrial tower.
There is a degree of random generation to the buildings in Shadows of Doubt, not just in name but in layout, so use the examples below as a general guide.
Buildings are listed in the order they appear in the city generation editors “tile edit” drop down menu.
