Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Chernobyl 3D at Free against Shadowgate's $1.99. Chernobyl 3D also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6). Shadowgate's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 4) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 16.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
