The Developer Says...

Uncover the Truth

The Shadows of the Past Demand an Investigator

Shadow Mansion is a narrative-driven, first-person horror and investigation game that prioritizes psychological dread and active deduction over simple jump scares. You don’t merely survive the mansion you must uncover the dark truth it has buried for decades.

Your journey begins with a mysterious letter that summons you to an abandoned family estate. To make it out alive, you must take on the role of a supernatural investigator, following a trail of fragmented clues to piece together a tragic family secret that was never meant to be revealed.
