Hello everyone!

After two long years of hard work, we’re finally announcing the demo for our upcoming horror game, Unshelved!

For the past while, we’ve been quietly building this project behind the scenes bit by bit and we're ready at long last to share our progress! The demo offers an early look at the library, its different workstations, and some of the dangers you might face during the night shift. There’s still a lot more to come, but we can’t wait to hear what you think!

In this demo, you’ll play through a limited 5-day run, with access to a reduced selection of rooms and tools. The full game expands on this with unlimited days, saveable progression, more of the Library to explore, secrets to discover, additional equipment, a wider variety of threats to encounter, and the challenge of the Restricted Section!

We welcome all ideas and feedback, so please be sure to leave any suggestions or issues you may encounter while playing, either in-game via the feedback button or here on Steam! We'd love to hear your ideas on what could really make Unshelved the best it can be! Thanks for playing, don't forget your flashlight! - Team Squidpunch
