Something is wrong inside the Wolfshade Asylum. Your sister was taken there, and now it’s up to you to find her and uncover the mystery behind what happened. Set in the 1930s, this story-driven first-person mystery changes the way you play in every chapter. One moment you’re running through narrow corridors under pressure, the next you’re solving puzzles or reacting to something you can’t fully see. Every run is procedurally generated, bringing new layouts, new paths, and new risks. Wolfshade Asylum feels structured and elegant at first, but beneath that surface, something isn’t right. The deeper you go, the harder it is to tell what’s safe and what isn’t. To survive longer, you’ll need to adapt, upgrade your skills, and make better use of powerups as challenges become more demanding. As you explore, you’ll find scattered documents, notes, and fragments of information. Piece by piece, they reveal what really happened inside the asylum—and why your sister was taken there. Key Features: - Every chapter plays differently - Procedurally generated runs with changing layouts - Multiple gameplay styles: runner, puzzle, action, and survival mechanics - Character upgrades and powerups - Hidden story through collectible documents Can you survive the Wolfshade Asylum, uncover the truth, and bring your sister back?

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Shadowlight at Free against Outliver's $4.99. Shadowlight also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Outliver's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
