First, you have a gun with a limited supply of bullets. You have three main types of attacks at your disposal. However, the most important abilities are you attacks. When it comes to defense, you can guard to fully block melee attacks at the cost of stamina and parry enemy attacks while guarding to stun them. For mobility, you have access to a stamina-draining run and a dodge roll which grants invincibility frames.
If you’re not careful you can go into negative stamina, at which point you won’t be able to do much of anything other than walk until it recharges a bit, though I found the starting amount of stamina to be generous enough that I never upgraded it. To begin with, everything works on a stamina system. You don’t unlock any new weapons or abilities throughout the game, but that’s not really an issue since you already start with a rather extensive set of skills heavily inspired by Dark Souls (it’s even mentioned as a source of inspiration in the Steam description).

After this initial setup and a brief, optional tutorial, the rest of the game takes place in the Berelai Manor and from there you’re free to explore just about everywhere. More specifically, the first scene involves our newly-revived protagonist being offered a rather suspicious contract by a demon named Waltham in which they will become a “Veimar” to destroy the source of the fog in exchange for freedom after this task is completed players can choose to reject the contract, though doing so immediately ends the game (and nets you an achievement). The game begins in 1897 in an alternate version of Britain where at least part of the country has been overtaken by otherworldly entities and a deadly fog things aren’t exactly going well to say the least. Aside from the whole undead thing, this sounds like a massive amalgamation of protagonist cliches, but the writing is actually rather good.
Our protagonist is silent, undead, has amnesia, and looks a whole lot like a 2D version of Sephiroth, complete with a rather long sword cane called an Iaito blade. The upcoming semi-sequel, Usurper, will almost certainly be the better game of the two, Shrouded in Sanity has more than enough going for it to stand on its own. Even though this is a fairly short game, especially if you know where to go, a New Game+ mode, multiple endings, and a completely open map make Shrouded in Sanity highly replayable regardless of if you’re going for a speedrun or simply aiming for a new ending. Shrouded in Sanity is a horror-themed action RPG with some minor balance issues and a few too many dead ends, yet a satisfying combat system and a great sense of atmosphere supported by plenty of lore make this a surprisingly enjoyable experience. 2016, 2d, action, action rpg, commercial, horror, indie game, new, rpg, shrouded in sanity, steam, video game
