Seclusion: Islesbury is planned for a PC release on Steam in 2027, with Silent Game House developing it and Senscape publishing. The current store listing gives a year, not a month or day. The game is not available to buy yet.

The distinction between those two companies matters. Senscape is expanding into publishing other developers’ work; this is a separate detective-horror adventure, rather than an announced sequel to its own ASYLUM.

What kind of horror game is it?

The story follows Detective Jason Endel into Islesbury, a fictional town left partly deserted after violent riots. A murder case dating back a decade provides the investigation’s central question.

The official description points toward first-person exploration and point-and-click puzzle solving. Players collect items, use an inventory and consult a journal as they investigate. The locations include ruined apartments, streets, woodland and cliffs. Those are descriptions of the game’s intended setting and systems, not findings from a real criminal case.

Announcing the publishing move, Senscape founder Agustín Cordes places the project alongside the tradition of Scratches and Dark Fall. That comparison helps explain the pitch: an adventure built around investigating an unsettling place. It is not a claim that the games share a story or fictional universe.

What does the 15-hour claim mean?

Bloody Disgusting’s November 6 report gives an advertised length of up to 15 hours and describes an emphasis on atmosphere over jump scares. Treat that as a promotional estimate, not a completion time established by independent testing. It also does not guarantee an absence of sudden scares.

What is confirmed about the release?

The Steam page lists Windows support and English interface, audio and subtitles. An exact launch date and price are still absent from the listing. The developer’s website currently directs visitors to wishlist the game while its own site is being refreshed.

For console players, the recent ASYLUM console launch is a different release. Its PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S and Switch editions do not establish console versions of Seclusion: Islesbury. The confirmed storefront to follow for this game is Steam.
