Skautfold: Shrouded in Sanity

About

Skautfold Shrouded in Sanity is a survival horror game with isometric views and light RPG mechanics set in a distorted 19th century world. You play a hired agent sent to clear a cursed estate plagued by a fog that drives people to violent insanity. Combat revolves around managing limited resources like healing potions and ammunition while fending off hostile manor staff. The environment reacts to your presence with shifting layouts and sanity-affecting hallucinations. Exploration is key to uncovering lore about the estate’s dark past. The game emphasizes tension through sound design and environmental storytelling. Minimal music and sudden audio cues heighten unease in its crumbling mansion. Inspired by Soulsborne gameplay but slower paced, focusing on resource scarcity and psychological dread. Released in 2016 it remains a niche title for fans of atmospheric horror. Available on multiple platforms it offers a self contained 8 to 12 hour experience with permadeath mechanics and branching sanity effects.
