Description

About the Game

A 1-3 co-op puzzle horror game. Lost in an accursed megastore, work together to find the exit before its lurking horrors trap you forever.

Storebound will be built around several episodes that form a bigger story.

The game currently includes Episodes 1 to 4, representing an average game time of 3-4 hours, depending on the difficulty you select and on how quickly you solve the puzzles. Additional free episodes will expand the overall playtime as new content is added throughout Early Access.

Decode the Megastore Together

Team up to escape a store that wants you to shop forever. Teamwork and quick thinking are your only tools for survival.

Search the mall for items and gather clues, using proximity voice chat to piece together the path to your next destination.

Split up and use walkie-talkies to keep contact. Whether you’re calling out code sequences from across the department or guiding a friend through a maze, solving the megastore’s twisted logic is the only way out.

Avoid After-Hours Assistance

When the lights go out, the Store is on the look out for shoppers who need "assistance". Cut communications to stay silent, or risk getting caught.

Hide in vents, progress without making noise, use flashlights to fight the darkness but be careful as the batteries are limited.

Avoid the mall's traps and aberrations, they will gnaw at your mind until you can't trust what you see or do.

Every error might lead the store's staff straight to you. Find fuses to turn the lights back on, buying your team a few precious minutes of safety.

Just remember: in a place built for consumption, the final price is always you.

The game is actually pretty fun, radio is kinda useless though. Some of the nemesis monsters are nearly impossible to find (Not sure if they despawned or we kept making fun of him so he stayed away) The puzzles are
