7.5/10 - Quirky, simple and special but slightly eerie mall game, (30-40 mins), this game excels at character building as it's what makes the game super interesting and I like how the mall is believable for the context of this strange little world. The Dialogue is fun, gameplay is simple but the game sets out to be a great experience. I wish it pushed harder on the horror elements however the game did a great job at capturing a vibe. I was really interested in the world and I came out wanting more from it!
A pretty cool, stylish game. What I enjoyed the most are definitely the characters. The cashiers are simple, yet they're so memorable! I just don't get how you achieved that with a few 2D sprites and a few lines of text.
I didn't buy the last item, Brendan's cutout, since I thought it would be better to bring the check back home instead, even knowing that the game's too simple for a single item to have any meaningful change in the plot. Still, I'd go with a head canon that the kid hid the check under his bed until he was 18 :D
Thanks for this free little, yet exceptionally polished gem!
The really spooky part at the end was surprising and I felt like it was misplaced, as it was established already that things weren't that spooky, but it was scary nonetheless, and the fourth wall head nod with the collector was great.
Overall this was so good and I enjoyed it a lot, it was a great and well made game!
