The Shrouded Isle will show you that being the high priest of a dark god is a pretty dangerous job.

Any job, including picking flowers in a green field, can be stressful if your boss is a big enough bully. However, the threat of being yelled at, humiliated, having your bonuses taken away, or even fired is nothing compared to what awaits you as the high priest of the Slavic god Chernobog. As his name suggests, this boss will not tolerate any failures. If you don't sacrifice enough people and burn enough heretical books, he will climb out of the ocean and unleash a tirade that your rapidly cooling corpses won't be able to handle. Career prospects in The Shrouded Isle are very short-lived indeed.

The Shrouded Isle simply looks like a pleasantly depressing murder simulator with a very unique artistic expression. It's worth noting that you can swap out the basic green and black color scheme for a different color scheme if you don't want to spend a few hours feeling like you're staring at the contents of a bucket full of vomit. It's also important to know that one playthrough is usually quite short - don't expect a long campaign. Fortunately, there are 6 different endings, so there's place for replayability. 15%
