How it feels

A lonely, tense walk through a dark mall as you search for keys and clues while eerie noises surround you.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the creepy atmosphere of patrolling a night mall and the mechanic of mannequins that move when you look away, while others call it an asset flip with vague key objectives that make it feel like a walking simulator.
