About the Game

You've accepted a night guard position at the "Mall Nice" shopping center, notorious for chilling rumors. The friendly staff clearly hide something sinister behind their welcoming smiles...

Due to rising crime rates, the mall closes its doors to visitors at 9 PM sharp. That's exactly when your shift begins! Keep watch over the premises until 6 AM. The mall is enormous, so you're permitted to bring along 1 to 5 teammates!

The manager dislikes unnecessary costs, leaving you to charge flashlights and radios, activate generators, and maintain ventilation systems. You don't want to suffocate before sunrise, do you?



When night falls, employees remove their masks of friendliness and reveal their true, terrifying faces! Avoid encounters at all costs and stick with your team. Coordinate your survival on our Discord server—it's easier to make it through the night together.

Awaiting you: unique story-driven levels uncovering the mall's dark secrets; highly sensitive stealth mechanics (enemies can even hear whispers!); diverse and horrifying foes; deadly missions, and much more!
