The Shrouded Isle

VentureBeat / Gamesbeat (60 out of 100)

I appreciate that The Shrouded Isle isn’t supposed to be all about fun. After all, it’s all about being in a murder cult that trades in ignorance and absolute obedience. Once the initial shock of sacrificing people for minor offenses wears off, though, I really just want to know more. It was frustrating when at the end there wasn’t that much pay-off. It’s a stylish game centered around an interesting moral dilemma. However, there just isn’t enough world-building to hammer the point home.
