deffinitely sounds like are drying up..add water into the incubation medium around the eggs, but don't water the eggs directly. Increasing the humidity will help as well. Still incubate them, they should be fine unless they are really badly dried up, even then rehydrate the egg incubation substrate and continue incubating. Unless they are obviously gone bad, there is still hope they will hatch.

It will depend on why they shriveled. If they shriveled because they are bad or infertile, then no amount of moisture will help.
Test your medium (perlite/vermiculite) for moisture by pinching it between your fingers. If it sticks together, it is moist enough. If it feels dry then use a dropper to add some water and they will "bounce" back.
