About the Game

A 1-3 co-op horror game. Play as ordinary shoppers trapped in an accursed megastore. Find the exit together at all costs before the employees catch you.

Find your way through a shopping complex that was never meant for you.

During opening hours, lights flicker across deserted halls, inviting exploration. When closing time comes, employees roam the aisles looking to "assist" you. Silence, teamwork, and quick thinking are your only tools for survival.

Escape Alone or With Friends

Team up with friends to escape a store that wants you to shop forever.

Plan your next move using proximity voice chat and walkie-talkies. Piece together environmental clues and decode cryptic notes to find your next destination.

Split up and look for whatever may help you escape. Search the mall for tools and items, and make sure you can slip away when danger comes.

Solve puzzles to unlock new paths, hopefully guiding you to an exit.

Do you cling to the shadows, letting madness creep in, or stay in the light where they’re already watching you?

Immersive Stealth and Survival

When the lights go out, employees are on the look out for shoppers who need "assistance" after hours. Cut communications to stay silent, or risk getting caught.

Hide in vents, progress without making noise, use flashlights to fight the darkness but be careful as the batteries are limited.

Avoid the mall's traps and aberrations, they will gnaw at your mind until you can't trust what you see or do.

Every error might lead the store's abominations straight to you. Find fuses to turn the lights back on and hopefully start a new day.
