What do you think?

I like your game, it was pretty cool, I hope you keep working on it. I think it would be cool if you added more stores and stuff to do. I useily play scary games but sometimes I like games like this, it was very nice and relaxing, and the color scheme is wonderful. I would defentily pay $50 to buy a PS4 release. Awesome job!

gameboy graphics inspire me a lot

not much to do in it yet, but it is remarkably charming!

really fun

waiting for updates :D

Welcome to The Mall

Controls:

  • Move: arrows/WSAD

  • Interact: "A"/Z/Alt

  • Start game/exit directory: Enter

Move to people or objects and press button to interact (some objects automatically interact upon approaching) walk up onto a bench to sit down! Walk around, explore, take your time, this mall has absolutely no zombies!

Enjoy this demo, new versions will be uploaded when new locations are added or major bugs are found and fixed.

Made with GB Studio, which is a great program I highly recommend.

Greetings Malloholics! I realized it's been quite awhile since the last update, and just wanted to assure you that The Mall hasn't been forgotten. However, it may be set back a bit more to make use of new features in the latest GB Studio release.

So, you may have noticed development has stalled a bit. Unfortunately there are things that have to take priority over developing a game for a 30-year-old handheld.

Also I decided to delay the next demo until I've got all the day one locations done.
