Skautfold: Shrouded in Sanity (2016)
Pugware, Steve Gal
"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."
About the story
"Set in the alternative historical setting of 1897 Angelic Empire of Britannia, your contract will order you to eliminate the source of the unnatural fog enveloping the Berelai Manor. Discover the secrets of the estate, as you look for answers among the violent inhabitants. A strange and repelling madness took hold of the servants roaming the halls, and they will attack on sight, for their madness is one rooted in a deeper understanding of cosmic insignificance. To repel the maddening horrors, your Iaito cane, and Waltham A9 hand canon will aid you. To mend your injuries your Vitae concoctions will offer healing. Beware, whatever unearthly events have transpired, your sanity will be tested as the truth unfolds in this hungry all-consuming Fog."

Critic Reviews
Cubed3
By AthanasiosThere 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 game, and only if the price is right.

By Samantha LienhardThough 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.
