This was fantastic! The characters were funny and memorable. The mall was great setting as it was empty as it would be in real life which made checking everything out fun and easy to do. The parody names for the stores were hilarious as was the humor overall. The shadow creatures lurking in the background made sense as you are a young kid and your imagination still runs wild. Keep up the good work.
Unrelated but, is there a way to know what songs were used in this game?
There's this one specific melody at the end (it's the ending scene that shows the name of the game and how many gifts you got) that's driving me insane, like i've heard it before but i don't remember it's name and i can't find this information anywhere.
So.. please if someone out there does know it, end my suffering tell me the name please.
This game was surprisingly really fun! I kinda expected it to be super bland considering how its about running through a shopping mall, but I was VERY wrong. The game's art style is very cute, especially the characters. I even remarked how pretty the clerk from Jill's is. Super cute game that would be perfect for any Christmas playthrough!
I only wished that there were playable machines in the arcade where I could play little pixel games, similar to how you can in Stardew, but it makes sense why you can't.
This game was a surprise for me. I originally played it on the Madvent Calendar collection, but it was by far top 3 in that collection. Was never really scary, but it was fun, kept me interested, and had me laughing a few times. Overall great experience!
Great game. I liked exploring around the mall. I also found the gnome around the corner after recording my playthrough. Is there a story / solution to the person banging behind the wall in Saul's? That was driving me crazy lmao.
This game honestly was one of my favorites I played recently. Absolutely loved the feeling of the environment. The characters were so fun to interact with and finding all the pieces was an enjoyable puzzle! 10/10
REALLY love this game ! Didn't know what to expect! First expected spooks but instead met with cute and interesting characters, had me excited who else i could meet in the mall, BUT THEN MY GUARD WAS DOWN :-;
This was fun and the dialogue is pretty funny as well! The scariest thing in this game is the funko pop fiend. They really act that way IRL so this game is actually incredibly realistic when you think about it.
I wanna let you know that your game was the best one (in my opinion) on the Madvent Calendar this year. I absolutely loved the environment you crafted as well as the hand-drawn characters you had throughout the mall. And that Funko collector genuinely freaked me out....
Really enjoyed the game. Got 2 bugs while playing though.
First one was that if you wait to buy the candy bar until after you've spent $15 on the mac and cheese, the collector won't give you the funko despite having 9/10 gifts.
Second one was that if you turn around after starting down the dark hall at the end, the NPC can spawn in front of you, blocking you between her and the door you entered from. Since she has collision, you can't get around her and you can't end the game.
Despite those, really enjoyed my time with this game. The 2D character sprites are really well done and actually fit in really well with the 3D psx aesthetic of the rest of the game. Well done and thanks for making it!
is it normal that I was able to buy the tonus macaronus even though I'd already bought the chalk from the vending machine, and wound up at a total of negative 99 cents?

A Mall Even Closer to You
The Mall Is Coming From INSIDE THE HOUSE
such a nice little horror experience, definetly worth playing it
An excellent little game! The atmosphere is on point and it never overstays its welcome. Well worth playing.
really comedic game with a kind of creepy undertone! I enjoyed it!
This game is reeeeeeeally cool!
You should try it!
amazing
I Really Enjoyed This Game
Great game. I liked exploring around the mall. I also found the gnome around the corner after recording my playthrough. Is there a story / solution to the person banging behind the wall in Saul's? That was driving me crazy lmao.
I want to know about the hidden ghosts and heartbeat door too
We need more games like this game
This game was super fun! I loved how creepy it felt and it definitely felt close to home! 100/10!
Cute game. I really like the ambiance and art.
It's been so long since i've played an indie game this good, would love to see more stuff like this.
Great game!
This was one of my favorite games from the Madvent, keep it up partner!
Thanks for making games!

Hi - made the collision box for the NPC at the end smaller. You should be able to squeeze past her now if that happens again.
Also fixed the bug regarding the vending machine - it should now register the collection properly. Thanks for playing and for notifying!
That was incredible! Good god this might be one of the best games in the madvent collection, great job folks!
cool
So... uh... where you got that The Polar Express 2 poster from?
is it normal that I was able to buy the tonus macaronus even though I'd already bought the chalk from the vending machine, and wound up at a total of negative 99 cents?
minor bug report -- the sphinx cat keychains in the Warm Subject get an eye icon like they're interactable, but nothing happens when you do.
Hi - fixed!
Sorry bout that! We are working to fix this glitch.
I'm not sad the game was amazing :) The download was so small but had so much depth.
I LOVE IT OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
This game is seriously good!
