Lovecraftian Cult Management Game ‘The Shrouded Isle’ Gets Free ‘Sunken Sins’ DLC

Some say the Gods are random. But not this God.

We recently told you about The Shrouded Isle, which launched over the Summer. The Lovecraft-inspired game from Kitfox Games allows you to manage your own cult, putting you in the role of mayor of a seaside village that must make seasonal human sacrifices to Chernobog, a god sleeping beneath the sea, in order to protect the village.

The game gets a free DLC expansion with The Shrouded Isle: Sunken Sins, plunging the cult management simulator into more brain-bending waters than ever before.

“A mysterious spiritual contagion has reached The Shrouded Isle, and players must now forcibly “purify” those inflicted or suffer the consequences. Lock the infected away into the purification tower and allow the salt water to wash away their sins, but such treatment can have ill effects on the healthy.”

The Sunken Sins DLC features these major improvements:

  • A revised, more robust inquiry system – discover villager reputations more strategically
  • A lengthened campaign mode – 5 years until Chernobog’s awakening instead of 3
  • New purification tower game mechanic
  • A new cinematic ending to find
  • Additional events & personality traits
  • New art and animations
  • ….Madness…? Or that which this closed society would deem to be so…

Sunken Sins is now available to all current and future owners of The Shrouded Isle.

‘El Paso, Elsewhere’ – LaKeith Stanfield Starring in Adaptation of Monster Hunting Video Game

Last year’s monster hunting shooter El Paso, Elsewhere is headed to the screen, with THR reporting that LaKeith Stanfield (Haunted Mansion) will star in the live action film adaptation.

Stanfield will also produce the film alongside Lorenzo di Bonaventura.

THR notes in today’s report, “There is no writer or director, as the project is still being packaged in the hopes of finding a studio home. The package is seen as buzzy, as it is a video game adaptation, a bustling genre thanks to titles such as The Last of Us, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and the most recent hit, Fallout.”

In the upcoming movie version of El Paso, Elsewhere, “Recovering from a toxic relationship, James Savage (LaKeith Stanfield) confronts both his inner demons and enigmatic ex-girlfriend, Janet, before she executes a world-ending ritual. James navigates her reality-bending universe of ethereal monsters while facing the truth of his own addictions and skewed sense of self-worth. James learns that the only route to love is through healing.”

Developer Strange Scaffold’s El Paso, Elsewhere was released this past September.

Aaron Boehm wrote in his 4-star review here on Bloody Disgusting, “Much like its inspiration Max Payne, and other games in Remedy’s catalog, there’s a clear vision that unites every frame of this game, making for an experience that both reignites a classic action subgenre and forges an identity all its own. Few games have a better elevator pitch than El Paso, Elsewhere, and it’s awesome to see it live up to those expectations with style and heart.”
