Shadow of a Doubt

*****Shadow of a Doubt***** is a game in development by HouseFire Studios, currently headed by **Lucky Clover Dev**. Currently, from what is known about the project, it will follow a smol wizard boi named **Lumpia**, and take place across a variety of biomes. This game lays the foundation for the **SOADverse**, and its characters and themes are rumored to be referenced in other games across the timeline. However, since the project is still in active development, not much can be assumed from the few updates **Lucky Clover Dev** has actually given on the state of the game.

## Gameplay

***Shadow of a Doubt*** is a 2D platformer game with metroidvania-style gameplay. The game takes place in a series of interconnected biomes, which the player must explore in order to complete various quests. The player, however, is free to roam these biomes in any order they choose. As they progress, they'll gain new abilities, items, and magic spells that **Lumpia** can use to access previously inaccessible areas.

The game also features several challenging boss battles, each requiring full use of **Lumpia**'s skills and abilities to defeat powerful enemies. Aside from these, however, ***Shadow of a Doubt*** also features hidden secrets and collectibles scattered throughout the map. These include hidden rooms and rare items to increase **Lumpia**'s abilities. The game's atmosphere is somewhat dark and mysterious in places, with eerie music and sound effects that can add to the sense of danger and intrigue. The story is revealed through environmental clues and other characters (rumored to be in the game), and allegedly guides the player through various stages of depression.

## Game-specific Lore

The world of ***Shadow of a Doubt*** lays the foundation for the **SOADverse**. Hence, every area of the map is teeming with lore. The community has been able to unearth different stories and references in the updates **Lucky Clover Dev** has provided on the game's development. Here are a few notable lore points.

### **Everything is connected**

This is obvious enough. The events of every game mentioned in this wiki are considered canon to the **SOADverse Timeline**, and are connected. The order in which the games occur is endlessly debated by the devoted community, but everyone agrees on this one fact.

### **Lumpia's friend's name**

In the game, **Lumpia** is rumored to have a friend. This has been a source of confusion, as Lumpia is always on that grind, 24/7. How does he have time for a friend? Why can't I have a friend? I like friends. I'm so lonely. Anyway, it's odd that at this point in development, Lumpia's friend has no name, so the community has speculated that Lumpia's friend's true name could itself be a reference to something. Could Lumpia's friend be named "Candlelit", for instance? Lumpia's friend's name is the key to unlocking a new level to this lore. Pictured is our source's sketch of what Lumpia's friend could look like!

### Lumpia's Jammies

This refers to a screenshot shared by **Lucky Clover Dev** that confirms the obvious - **Lumpia** is a fashion icon. Just look at those jammies. Goddamn. It's only due to a severe rigging of the vote that Lumpia has not appeared on the cover of Vogue or Cosmopolitan. Lumpia's pajamas are also rumored to have magical powers, and it's thought that they power the **SOADverse** itself. Perhaps this is the fabric holding everything together?

### B.O.B. cannot speak

In the game, **Lumpia** encounters the robot **B.O.B**, who has been abandoned and left to rot for many years. So, during the boss battle that ensues, B.O.B. is unable to speak. Rumors speculate that this is because B.O.B. has seen the **SOADverse**, from beginning to end, and he has been overtaken and left speechless by its majesty. Others insist that his silence is due to **Candlelit**'s fire magic, although the reasoning behind this assumption is unclear. Either way, B.O.B. is mute, and unable to relay the cause of this to Lumpia. WHAT DOES HE KNOW?

### The Observer's tentacles

The Observer is a evil tentacle monster Lumpia apparently encounters on his journey. Its tentacles look like spaghetti because I'm hungry.

### The SOADverse Convergence

One notable event rumored to take place in this game is the **SOADverse Convergence Event**. This is a post-credits cutscene where **Candlelit** from the hit game *Candlelit* allegedly appears through a portal and discusses the **Hollow Stars Initiative** with **Lumpia** and **Hollow Star**. It is unknown where this sequence will be triggered in the game, but the community still anxiously awaits further news.
