What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Shelley Manor is an academic non-for-profit portfolio project, developed to demonstrate the skills of its team, and the hard work done through its development. The game is, at the moment, in an Early Access state due to it being an ongoing project made by students as their final year's project, but it is in a very playable state with good production values already.

The goals of the team include:
  • See our project to completion this calendar year.

  • Gather feedback from the community through social media, Steam discussion forums and live events like Valencia Indie Summit 2024 and OWN Valencia 2024 (known before as Dreamhack), where the game was playable in public for the first time.

  • Implement the community feedback into the development of the coming playable puzzles, mechanics, effects and bosses, as well as the existing ones.

  • Add additional pages of Clara's diary to unveil the secrets of her past.

  • Write a conclusion to Alex's story.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect to complete the development during this calendar year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We expect the final game to have all the features of the early access version plus
a more balanced and polished experience as well as extra content.

We expect to complete Shelley Manor by implementing more playable levels featuring new puzzles, enemies and rooms giving conclusion to Alex's story.

In general terms, we expect an additional hour of playable content to be featured
in the final version.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is in an Alpha and early access state at the moment. However, the gameplay mechanics have been implemented to an advanced stage and the character designs and mechanics that are already present in the game. There is room for improvement based on feedback. Now where the 'early' keyword really matters is in quantity of content and player progression as well as polishing of systems such as UI and visual feedback.

In the current version you can:
  • Explore several zones of the manor

  • Defeat a total of 4 Monsters.

  • Explore most of the rooms of the manor.

  • Complete Alex's escape.

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Shelley Manor is a portfolio based project, to demonstrate the quality of our team, and the hard ongoing work that we have been doing for the last 9 months of development, so it will be free for its Official Release too.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Through Twitter and Steam community forums we will collect the feedback that players share, and fix them before it’s Official Release.”

About This Game

Shelley Manor is a combination of reality and fantasy, where the time seems to have stopped before entering the manor walls. You will meet known enemies, all of whom come from classical works, and some allies.

Control Alex, a tourist that ended up there after being tricked by the townsfolk. Explore the hallways and rooms and help them escape before it’s too late.



The player must run, push and throw to reach its goal by completing the various riddles the manor is covered with.



With fixed cameras and dynamic puzzles, escaping seems harder with every passing time; encountering enemies every step of the way might make Alex lose hope, but fear not! They’re not alone in this tale.

A friendly NPC will help guide them with different dialogues and save points along several rooms.



Hide through the levels, distract enemies and interact with the level scenery to solve the different puzzles in front of you.



Shelley Manor is a linear free exploration game where the player can choose how to use their time.

Key features:
  • Single-player game
  • 5 Unique enemies
  • Three different zones
  • Rich and immersive environment

Start your adventure through the manor and find your way out before it’s too late.
