EurogamerEdwin Evans-ThirlwellAug 2017A winningly nasty turn-based cult sim with beautiful monochrome art and surgical orchestral audio.

MSPoweruserAsh WorralJan 20199/10The Shrouded Isle is the perfect game for anyone who wants to praise the almighty Chernobog and also get a taste of the management side of running a cult. Sure, sometimes the randomly generated odds are stacked against you and the game becomes significantly trickier to beat, but that’s just how life is.

GamesBeatStephanie ChanAug 201760/100It's a stylish game centered around an interesting moral dilemma. However, there just isn't enough world-building to hammer the point home.

Nintendo LifeNathanial EkerSep 20247/10In review, The Shrouded Isle is a great management sim that is let down purely by its choice of aesthetic. Somewhat akin to the ill-fated red and black visuals of the Virtual Boy, the palette is really nasty to stare at, but if you’re able to look past this, you’ll find a solid experience.
