The Shrouded Isle review — who knew running a cult would be so mundane?

The Shrouded Isle is the third release from the four-person indie studio Kitfox Games. It has a moody gothic look and an equally grim premise that takes inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft novellas such as The Shadow over Innsmouth. As often happens in Lovecraftian lore, the town in The Shrouded Isle is beholden to a cruel and unforgiving eldritch horror. Your role as the high priest is to appease the god Chernobog through seasonal sacrifices and inquisitions. This is a game where you stare into the abyss and the abyss turns out to be a slog through just another day of running a cult.
