The Mall (demo)
Welcome to The Mall
Controls:
- Move: arrows/WSAD
- Interact: "A"/Z/Alt
- "Start": 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.

Cute little game. Feels doubly nostalgic, both for the mall experience, and also for coming here from the blog post saying the project is dead. But I like it for what it is, a cute little GB-style pixel outing. I'd say I had a bug where walking into a space that an NPC is walking into at the same time softlocks the game since neither you nor the NPC can move anymore, but I guess that's a moot point by now...
This game is actually a really good game. It even inspired me of making my own. Nice game!
This kicked my liminal feels into high gear. Loved it.
Hope to see more extension to the mall!
Quite fun to explore, I like it!
Getting some highly distracting 8-bit crackling, you may want to check the audio-routines.
Unfortunately that would be an issue with the engine that I cannot fix.
Are you playing on mobile? That's the only time I've encountered it.
It also happens if you lose focus on the screen. It's an engine issue.
