Malled To Death

Escape an infinite mall in this vaporwave-themed dungeon crawler JRPG!

Rescued by 3 strangers also stuck here, you'll explore the randomized dungeon, power up with whatever you can get your hands on, and defeat whatever is behind it all.

Hints

  • Save often!
  • Don't enter the pit with a shopping cart - you may get stuck!
  • Take shopping carts back to the kiosks to get money.
  • Enemies only move when you do and can often be avoided.
  • Open enough doors and you'll eventually find your way back to the hub.
  • Shops let you buy better equipment. Boxes give helpful items.

very cool stuff, i enjoyed the whole experience but for some reason even though corpse and hazy learned certain special skills neither had the option to use them available even when holding the equipment i assume is needed

None of the Moves should require specific equipment... maybe MP was too low? Will have to look into it, thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed!

Yup, can confirm Corpse's Cart Charge and Hazy's Aerosol Flames don't show up in the menu, sorry about that!

Seems neat thus far, but please consider adding an option to drop a cart . This room has a softlock because of it.
