Overview

"A survival-horror game inspired by Resident Evil 1, Dark Souls, and Eternal Darkness." "Shrouded in Sanity is an isometric survival horror action game, with minimal rpg elements and an open world approach. Immersion is the focus here, avoiding non diegetic sounds and music. Heavily inspired by the souls series of games, but focusing much more on survival and horror."

Reception

There are worse soulslikes out there than Skautfold: Shrouded in Sanity, but there are far better ones as well. There's a somewhat good 2D Bloodborne experience somewhere here, hidden under repetitive, unimpressive, and unpolished combat, and a decent-to-forgettable atmosphere and plot. Enter its gothic world only if really starving for this type of...

Though it could use a little more polish, Shrouded in Sanity is an intriguing and challenging experience that should appeal to fans of Souls games and H.P. Lovecraft.
