Critic Reviews
The Shrouded Isle (Switch) Review
An enjoyable narrative-driven game that oozes style but tires easily.
75%The Shrouded Isle Review
As a combination of both political strategy and Lovecraftian drama, The Shrouded Isle takes this idea and provides a comfortably tense experience whereby every choice should matter but with enough leeway that inexperienced players can still make mistakes. Fans of classic horror literature may be drawn to this game through its distortedly gothic art style and otherworldly premise, but the large difficulty curve may be too complicated for them, even if the repetitive gameplay structure can feel rewarding once you get the hang of it.

The Shrouded Isle may lack variety, but it’s strong management systems and creepy aesthetic make it a worthwhile experience.
