I love this game very much. It's creepy and nostalgic and wonderful.
This may be a long shot, but does anyone know what stores Simon and Bathroom Delights are parodies of? I know all the rest, but I recognize the logos of those two -- just not the original names.
This was definitely a fun game to play, everything about it felt just right...and wrong. Such fun little characters and dialogue luring me into a false sense of security only for dread to overcome me at the slightest things. Great job on a unique experience to the mall 👍
Definitely the comfiest weird game I played in the bunch. The style feels distressed and is just such a good fit for the slowly dying mall. A sense of history and exhaustion. And just that hint of nostalgia. Really enjoy basking in the vibes.
I love this game so much, only thing is i wish it was longer and more stores would be avalible. and an 11th secret gift would be cool and if the employees only door in sauls would be able to be opened, that would be cool too.
I thought I was onto something after I managed to clip back into Saul's at the end, just found the cutout facing the wall in a corner though. I think I might've found everything I can.
Couple of thoughts after this latest playthrough:
1) It feels a bit weird that the money counter still goes into negative if you ask for a dollar off the macaroni. When using the vending machine, sure, but there's no reason for it to go into that imaginary number in this scenario.
2) The old man's sprite changing after the coin falls out of his pocket, seems like it should only happen after he's done talking, for it to line up with the sound effect.
This one was cool and the characters were unique and the personalities were portraied well! Mix that with the spooks in the game and i think this one's great! gg dev :)
A Mall Near You is a charming and hilarious game that will have you giggling while feeling nostalgic for the good old days of mall culture. The character art is fantastic, and the attention to detail in the mall design is quite impressive. The game strikes the perfect balance between silly humour and genuine heart, making it a joy to play from start to finish. The only downside is that it left me wanting more!
Overall, I'd give it 5 out of 5 stars and I'd love to see more of this concept.
Graphics: Amazing low poly PS1 graphics done amazing with cartoon like characters mixed in very well
Gameplay/ Controls: Point A to B is a classic and done very well here. the humor was awesome and very funny with the horror not coming to the end. The Controls was very understandable and love the control screen integrated in the parking lot very nice touch.
Sound: Amazing crisp and clear ambiance was awesome it really made it feel like i was in a mall.
9/10 Highly Recommend Playing This Game Its Is Fantastic Can Not Wait to See Future Projects
This was such an amazing experience, extremely eerie but all the references to the stores I remember from the 2000's made this feel oddly nostalgic too. Loved the little easter eggs in the game as well, very creative.
I played through it again and found an Easter Egg on Christmas!
I also spotted a few bugs on my second run.
1) If you zoom in before interacting with someone / something, it gets stuck that way until you press the zoom again. 2) NPCs get stuck in their last expression when you say No Thanks, instead of returning to their default. 3) Using the zoom causes the inventory button to get stuck, as in it won't show the inventory. Getting any item un-sticks it though. 4) Clicking on the gnome and then clicking on the mall's entrance makes his sound effect play twice.
Also, I don't know if the animated spooky ghost GIF following the Saul's Employee in the dark corridor (assuming this is a PT reference, that she's possessed) was supposed to appear on its own and then change into her normal appearance, but when I walk backwards into the corridor, it just appears behind her "sleeping standing up" sprite. Which just looks kinda funny / silly. If that was intentional then I apologize.

The controls are a little wonky You have to stand against the wall, in order to stay still. LMAO I only collected five gifts, so far.
Fun :D
Wonderful experience, I really felt like I was a kid scavenging/. The characters were super fun as well.
Really cool game, love the vibe and the consistent art style!

We certainly will have a good Christmas.
Interesting game

Bathroom Delights is a bath and body works or (more likely) lush i believe anndddd honestly simon is so familiar but i cant put my finger on it at all
This was one of the most accurate mall experiences ever in a video game. The true horror is the people we meet along the way...
Very cool! The rainforest cafe really did it for me
Best horror game I have ever so far on Itch.io!
kinda mid ngl

This is such a cute game, great characters. Really gave me Night in the Woods vibes with all their personalities, nice work!
