The Shrouded Isle is an unusual horror-themed turn-based economic simulation strategy game for PC and SWITCH. It was developed by Kitfox Games, a Canadian studio that also created Moon Hunters.

Plot

The Shrouded Isle offers an atmosphere of horror which rare in the economy simulation genre. The action takes place in a small town on an island that is cut off from the world. We assume the role of its mayor and our task is, quite traditionally, to ensure the population’s prosperity. The problem is that the town was built upon the resting place of vile ancient deities which, if left to themselves, will quickly awaken and devour everything in their way. To prevent such scenario, the townspeople established a secret tradition: to satisfy the hunger of the gods, four times a year, they choose one person from among themselves to be sacrificed.

Digitally ed: 3.5 / 5 by Matt Sainsbury

All being said, The Shrouded Isle is so razor-focused on its darkly original theme that it comes across as quite brave. This isn’t a necessarily uplifting or relaxing game. Nor is it particularly rewarding. It is, however, genuinely clever with how it works within an established genre, and it’s uncompromising in its vision. We need more games that are willing to do that.

Nindie Spotlight: 7.5 / 10 by Justin Nation

Ultimately the game is almost more of a puzzle to be solved with its strategies taking time to uncover and understand...
