Dead Mall
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
WELCOME TO DEAD MALL
Christmas is tomorrow, and what better place to do your holiday shopping than the town's abandoned mall? Collect as many gift boxes as you can, bring them to the getaway car, and make your escape!
Explore an ever-changing/procedurally-generated mall, watch out for power outages, and if you're lucky, you may even catch a meet-and-greet with Frosty the snowman...
HOW TO PLAY
Find presents within the mall's stores. Press and hold LMB (or Right Trigger) to pick up. Then, drop them off at the car.
If you get tired of carrying presents, find a shopping cart to easily transport your goods! Press Spacebar (or A) near a shopping cart to drive it.
This old mall is known for frequent power outages. If the power goes out, find the power room and press Spacebar (or A) to restore power.
When you finish shopping, head to the getaway car and press Spacebar (or A) to make your escape!

There's a dreadful shortage of creepy abandoned mall horror games and this was a great one! Damn ghostface santa claus snowman shopping cart monster didn't want me to have any presents, but I got out with $500 of stuff!
Hopefully we’ve inspired more developers to do mall horror in the future. Thanks for the video ✌️

Thanks for this super insightful playthrough!
This is so sick! Love the overall aesthetic and feel. Really nailed it.
Thank you! We certainly tried our best to get the aesthetic right on this project
Amazing work at building not only a very isolating environment, but having an enemy that is actually pretty damn terrifying if you're not expecting it. Great job!
Glad you enjoyed the atmosphere (and the scares)!
