Uncover what happened at Highburn Mansion — before it unravels your mind. Investigate, solve intricate puzzles, document elusive evidence, and question every shadow. Thief’s Shelter is a first-person psychological mystery where the deeper you dig, the more reality slips away.

Thief’s Shelter unearths buried trauma, twisted ambitions, and the inhuman forces pulling the strings behind it all. Your investigation is intertwined with Detective James’ personal struggles, such as the artificial dementia along with its effects.

You will fight James’ deteriorating mental state, experience hallucinations, and confront his repressed memories. Explore Highburn Mansion that distorts as you progress, search for clues and use investigative tools to reveal secrets hidden in plain sight. The deeper you dig, the less you know what’s real. Is there a supernatural presence inside the mansion — or is it all in your head?
