In one mission in Shadows of Doubt, you’ll be called to photograph someone and be given a briefcase with all the necessary information.
However, it’s not clear how to interact with the briefcase since opening and closing it won’t help.
Instead, players will need to hold it in their hands and press LMB to open it.
In this guide, I will explain how to open and use the briefcase in Shadows of Doubt to help you get all the information needed.

How to Use the Briefcase in Shadows of Doubt
While progressing with a photography side mission, you’ll be given certain information that can be gained by interacting with a briefcase.
However, opening, closing, or scanning and interacting with that briefcase won’t give you access to the information.
Instead, devs have made this process slightly more complicated than necessary.
To use the briefcase in Shadows of Doubt, hold it in your hands first and then open it by pressing the left click (LMB).
After getting all the information needed, you can leave the briefcase anywhere as it doesn’t serve any other purposes. Personally, I just throw it in the sea, because why not.
What Does the Briefcase Do?
The briefcase will give you access to some core information to get started on your investigation. Specifically, you will learn the following information about the target:
- Age
- Hair Colour
- Eye Colour
- Blood Type
Then, make sure to visit the City Hall and use any information you got to find more details about your suspect.
Wrapping up
To sum up, you can use the briefcase in Shadows of Doubt by holding it in your hands and pressing RMB.
Then, you’ll get access to all the basic information about your target and you’ll be able to move on with your investigation.
