About the Game

[WELCOME]

In this weirdcore 1-4 player game, survive the endless mall that is randomly generated with every playthrough.

Encounter a range of strange and unique entities that inhabit this place, each offering unique mechanics and dangers that will test your senses.

Death is your best guide in learning how to exist in this place.
Don't expect too get far in your first existence... 

Sanity is your most valuable possession here, It can even be used to acquire items.

[GAMEPLAY INFOMATION]

-Supports both singleplayer and online 1-4 player co-op.

-Consume items to avoid starvation.

-Play time of each run can range from a few minutes to potentially a few hours once mastered.

-Entities found further in are usually more dangerous

-Unique areas far out in the Mall

-Getting far in the Mall can be hard, and if you are unable to survive the first few entities that can spawn near the start, you might not find this enjoyable

-Ingame achievements to work towards

-Few props are moveable/physics-based

-Does NOT contain graphic violence, gore, or strong language

-Requires sound to be played properly as some situations require audio cues

-This is not a story-driven game, however, there is hidden lore inspired by: backrooms weirdcore dreamcore nextbots ect...

-Works with Praydog's UE VR injector

[GRAPHICS INFOMATION]

-4 lighting options available in the start menu

-Designed with heavily limited use of in-game UI to increase immersion (doors open when pushed, useful items picked up automatically, player starts panting when out of stamina ect...)

-No motion blur

-Graphics, FOV, Volume, controller and mouse sensitivity can be adjusted in-game

The graphics and amount of content has been improved since the game's release in April 2024. I will continue to add more updates based on the games ongoing reception. Be sure to let me know what you enjoyed and what else you'd like to see and I’ll do my best to make it happen!
