It was fun! I do wish there was a little more ambient so it gets that slight horror feel.
absoloutely wonderful game! Easy to understand, great at atmosphere, and itll keep you busy for an hour at least, unlocking all the presents was fun, i wish it was longer, not because of lack of content, but just because i liked it that much
7.4/10 - Quirky, simple and special but slightly eerie mall game, (30-40 mins), this game excels at character building as it's what makes the game super interesting and I like how the mall is believable for the context of this strange little world. The Dialogue is fun, gameplay is simple but the game sets out to be a great experience. I wish it pushed harder on the horror elements however the game did a great job at capturing a vibe. I was really interested in the world and I came out wanting more from it!
Not gonna lie, that ending caught me off guard. lol But this game was definitely fun.
Genial!
I loved this game! i had a great experience while playing it and thought that the ending was quite freakyyyy indeed. overall would like to play another game just like this one!!!!! <3333

really a unique creepy game
Nice and cozy spooky game.
Cool game!
This game was sick asf. Would love to see more games from you! :)
I absolutely loved this game. The atmosphere was perfect
I Absolutely love games with this style. 10/10!!
Enjoyed this a lot! A little creepy but not scary or anything. Funko pop room made me laugh haha.
nice
this game was unbelievably sick. please make more good games. you guys clearly understand what makes malls both creepy and nostalgic and didn't just do it for the popularity of liminal stuff right now
I don't know why but I thought you were completely bashing this game
heh it did kinda sound like that but no I genuinely had a great time with it and if you haven’t tried it yet you should
cool and good game
Enjoyed the atmosphere and aesthetic of this one. Thank you!
SO FUN!!!
I FEEL THE NOSTALGIA | A Mall Near You
mann this was a bangernice game but tbh its not scary but still its a good one
The game really brought me peace and despair all at the same time, thank you for letting me experience it!
We need a full game out of this!
IT'S FANTASTIC!!
A pretty cool, stylish game. What I enjoyed the most are definitely the characters. The cashiers are simple, yet they're so memorable! I just don't get how you achieved that with a few 2D sprites and a few lines of text.
I didn't buy the last item, Brendan's cutout, since I thought it would be better to bring the check back home instead, even knowing that the game's too simple for a single item to have any meaningful change in the plot. Still, I'd go with a head canon that the kid hid the check under his bed until he was 18 :D
Thanks for this free little, yet exceptionally polished gem!
A very good play! The scaling was nice between you and the isles and shelves. Linear but not too much, lots of things to look at if you can spot them! Found all collectables and wanting more mall!
Love the mix between the 2d sprites and 3d environment, it really adds character to the entire game in a way I didn't expect! The length of the game was perfect for this kind of project, but it'd be really cool to see you five come together to make something a bit longer or fleshed out as well!
The really spooky part at the end was surprising and I felt like it was misplaced, as it was established already that things weren't that spooky, but it was scary nonetheless, and the fourth wall head nod with the collector was great.
Overall this was so good and I enjoyed it a lot, it was a great and well made game!
Good for xmas
I appreciate the subtle queer representation.
Also just generally a cute and fun game. Some suggestions of horror but nothing at all explicit. More just a game about meeting quirky characters, and bathing in the eery, almost liminal atmosphere of an old and underpopulated mall.
i am not really sure what to do i wasnt paying attention to what the guy in the car said and i couldnt really figure out what to do with the sponge. also game felt too short i left the mall and the only thing that really happened was after i told the sauls lady i was done shopping, some ghosts appeared and that was pretty much it.
the chase had me, not gonna lie, plus the mall takes me back to silent hill 3 ahah. Great game
THIS IS SUCH A CHARMING GAME!!!! I LOVE how the 3D graphics look and the character designs and artsyle of the characters!! Although I was confused on what to do at some points, i managed to get all the stuff needed >:] I also love love the sprinkled horror elements, and the last part certainly gave me a run while screaming 😭 Overall, very fun game!
Hi, I'd like to volunteer to translate your game from English into Brazilian Portuguese.
