The Shrouded Isle: Sunken Sins DLC has washed up on the shores (for free!) to all current and future owners of The Shrouded Isle.
A mysterious spiritual contagion has contaminated the village - purify those inflicted before grave consequences fall before us. Lock the infected away in the purification tower and allow the holy salt water to wash away their sins, but know such treatment can have ill effects on the healthy...
The Sunken Sins free DLC features these major improvements:
An improved inquiry system - discover villager reputations strategically
New purification tower game mechanic to cure contagions
A lengthened campaign - 5 years until Chernobog's awakening instead of 3
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...
Feel free to counsel with your peers in the Steam community or our Discord server. Those who wish to keep up with all future Kitfox updates may point their sacrifices towards our Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram pages. Let us know how you fare - we await your awakening.
May your fervor forever burn,
Priestess Victoria and the Kitfox Cult
Beta test the extra-strategic upcoming DLC!
The game's designer, Jongwoo Kim, listened to your feedback and came up with a bunch of new stuff to make The Shrouded Isle better. Not just new events and traits -- whole new mechanics and revising the core inquiry system.
You can beta test the DLC now, if you so desire. Just log into the game's forums and check out the top pinned post to get the details.
It makes the game significantly harder, but more strategic, adding new options and controls. I hope you'll check it out and then fill out the questionnaire (also in that pinned forum post) so we can make it even better before it goes live in a few weeks.
Thanks in advance for your Discipline and Fervor!

Plus, the update last month doubled the soundtrack running time, from 19 to 40 minutes, with 4 new songs from FX Bilodeau, each song corresponding to the fateful final seasons.
Some praise for the Shrouded Isle soundtrack:
" The audio is marvellous, too: each clan has its own introductory orchestral sting, a skitter of pipes and strings that suggests a shaft of sunlight exposing something horrid on a table in a darkened room." - Eurogamer
"If a game’s music is good enough, I’ll sit with it for a while and let it loop, just listening without playing. I found myself doing that in The Shrouded Isle. Each season has a different song, and woven in with the music are visual and aural touches that also coincide with the seasons." - Rely On Horror
"Accompanied by the music, which is the perfect amount of ominous tones mixed with despair. The rest of the sound design is top quality too " - Hardcore Gamer
In Penitence,
Her Excellency Tanya & House Kitfox
The Hallowed Spirits Patch
Don your darkest robes, devouts!
All Hallows' Eve (or Hallowe’en, as we hear some call it) has descended upon The Shrouded Isle.
We’ve been sent a dream by Chernobog which says the patch includes:
A new spooky color scheme (Jack-O-Lantern)
A handful of new villager portraits and events
4 new songs on the soundtrack (all in the final year)
2 new villager traits (Haunted and Morbid)
Bug fixes
21:9 ultrawide screen support
Text fixes in Korean and Japanese
We’re not sure what that means, but we trust as the High Priest you can decipher the unintelligible mutterings of this message.
Additionally, be on the look out for future omens, Your Excellency... we hear there are Things to come.
In fervor and ignorance,
Victoria and the rest of House Kitfox
New songs, events, and villager traits?
Hail, true believers!
From where we sit in the Kitfox cathedral, we can see that small changes descend soon upon The Shrouded Isle.
We have endured dark autumnal dreams, foretelling the patch shall contain 4 new songs, a handful of new events, and even a couple of new villager traits in addition to bugfixes. Perhaps this fills you with dread or excitement... or both?
Nurture gratitude and patience in your heart, lest your soul be cast out from our Lord's love.
In penitence and ignorance,
Tanya, Victoria, and the rest of House Kitfox
New Colour Scheme + Patches
It's been 1 week since launch and first we must welcome all the new devotees among us. Your mortal coil has pleased Chernobog greatly; He bathes in the blood of the sacrificed and has decided to reward our unworthy souls.
After petitioning to Him for another colour scheme, we now have "Cremation Ashes" - a black and grey skin - available for use.
We thank you for your devotion and look forward to your continued reverence towards Chernobog.
With everlasting piety,
Priestess Victoria and House Kitfox

With eternal joy,
Priestesses Tanya & Victoria of House Kitfox
Two Days Remain!
Cry out, penitents, that in two days our prayers are answered.
We shall sleep twice, and then shall come the final awakening we have dreamed of in these years of suffering. Tell thine friends and neighbors that our Lord shall walk among us. These are the last days before the End.
Also, uh, I read in the scripture you should add the game to your wishlist. I wonder what that is... He works in mysterious ways...
With joy,
Priestesses Tanya & Victoria of House Kitfox
Dark Offerings Fan Art Contest
We couldn’t sleep last night. Bleary eyed, drenched in sweat and hearts pounding, we are writing this to you now as a plea. It is time. It is time.
An omen has come to us, dear players. We must appease the premonitions and announce that our Dark Lord has demanded offerings. Submit your visual art as proof of your worthiness and piety. So long as it is set within the Shrouded Isle universe, it may be in whatever medium you please — art, photos, costume, etc. Prove your reverence before it’s too late.
Two devotees who have pleased Our Dark Lord will receive secret access to the Shrouded Isle beta on June 29th + their portrait in game + an exclusive art print! (Pictured below).
To enter: Submit your links or photos to info@kitfoxgames.com OR tweet your art and tag us @KitfoxGames by 11:59 PM EST on June 29th, 2017.
Abide by the rules:
- The work must be your own.
- It must involve The Shrouded Isle characters or settings.
- You can submit multiple pieces, but sending more doesn’t increase your odds of winning.
- No offensive language or inappropriate images (other than what is relevant to The Shrouded Isle theme) in your submissions, please.
The Kitfox cult (of 6 unworthy members) will be casting our votes for our top two picks, which we’ll tally up and announce after the end of the sacrifice. The winners will be contacted by the e-mail or account they used to submit their work, and all of the submissions will be collected on a post here on our blog.
We pray for your survival,
Kitfox Cult

Serious thanks to all of you who sign up! Our games wouldn't be the same without you.
