About This Game

The Shadows of the Past Are Calling You

Shadow Mansion is a story-driven, first-person horror game that doesn’t bombard you with jumpscares, but instead builds a growing sense of dread in narrow corridors, silent rooms, and dark passageways.

Your journey begins with a mysterious letter summoning you to an abandoned mansion left behind by your family. As you follow the traces they left within its walls, you will uncover a dark family secret. At times, you’ll feel that something is watching you; before opening certain doors, you’ll find yourself holding your breath.

The strength of Shadow Mansion lies in an intimate, focused, and honest horror experience, crafted by a small independent team working with limited means.

KEY FEATURES

🕯️ Atmosphere-Driven Horror Echoing sounds in dark corridors, sudden silences, and flickering lights… Shadow Mansion aims to trap you not with cheap tricks, but with an oppressive atmosphere and psychological tension.

🔍 Exploration and Story Find notes detailing the pacts your family made in the past, listen to tapes, and piece together environmental clues to uncover the tragic truth.

🧩 Puzzles and Progression Repair fuses to unlock sealed doors, find keys to hidden passages, and gather ritual items to move forward.

🗝️ Escape and Hiding You are not alone in the mansion. A demonic presence and its followers may be hunting you. Fighting is not an option; to survive, you must hide and remain silent.

🎮 A Short, Intense Experience Shadow Mansion is designed as an indie horror adventure that can be completed in a single sitting, lasting around 2–3 hours, with a strong focus on narrative cohesion.
