Dead Mall
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
WELCOME TO DEAD MALL
Christmas is tomorrow, and what better place to do your holiday shopping than the town's abandoned mall? Collect as many gift boxes as you can, bring them to the getaway car, and make your escape!
Explore an ever-changing/procedurally-generated mall, watch out for blackouts. If you're lucky, you might even get to meet Frosty the snowman...
HOW TO PLAY

Find presents within the mall's stores. Press and hold LMB (or Right Trigger) to pick up. Then, drop them off at the car.

If you get tired of carrying presents, find a shopping cart to easily transport your goods! Press Spacebar (or A) near a shopping cart to drive it.

This old mall is known for frequent blackouts. If the power goes out, find the power room and press Spacebar (or A) to restore power.

When you finish shopping, head to the getaway car and press Spacebar (or A) to make your escape!

Привет ещё раз! Я столкнулся проблемой, после того, как монстр столкнулся с моей тележкой 😂

The realism and VHS look made the game look amazing . It was perfect for my Christmas Eve special video. Spooky vibe.
Pretty scary game especially when chased

I quite enjoyed this and it is quite scary as the monster is very quiet or im just old and couldn't hear it very well but I enjoyed every second of this game 💚🦖 Merry Christmas Dev(s) 🎅❄️🎄
Well made arcade style game.
This game is super fun. Are there any plans for multiplayer?
Multiplayer is on the roadmap for the Steam release 👍
Dead Mall is a fun game, not fun if you don't like being chased :') I possibly scored the lowest I could as it turns out I was pants at this! But overall its a really fun game and well put together! Will be trying out the Halloween Edition next Halloween to beat my score
Кстати, не понимаю почему, но у меня нет локаций с санта клаусом и подарками. У меня только тематика Хэллоуина..
А, понял)) Это я слепой, не заметил. Бывает. Спасибо!
Это великолепно! От визуала до звука! Я восхищён каждым элементом. Всё так непринуждённо и одновременно динамично! Нет слов просто.. А есть ещё похожие игры у вас?
Thank you! The plan is to expand Dead Mall, and also work on more hyper-realism horror experiences in the future👍
✌️😊✌️
Is the christmas version is this up now? The icon is christmas and it appears in christmas tags but the description is halloweeny??
Yes the Christmas version is always up! Just download any version named "Dead Mall: Classic"
very good game I like how replayable it is and im excited for more
will we get a non holiday version with the original rolling giant?
really cool, i think this one the intity is out in the open as to it spawns 5 minutes later or something, but this time it's kind of searching for you if you stay out of its fov.. really cool! - some footage
Glad you like it! ✌️
Cool update I like that. You must keep this game alive and add new stuff to it. :) 5/5
It's been a year
Thank you for the update
cool but i cant play horror, too scary
Aww, hopefully you get to watch some streamers play 💪
ye
really cool concept and great atmosphere! But hard lol
Dead Mall | Shopping in the 90's
Thanks for the entertaining gameplay 👍
In this chilling holiday-themed indie horror game, I explore the crumbling remains of a once-bustling shopping mall during a snow-covered winter night. 🎄 Dead Mall, developed by Ice Key Studios, throws you into the eerie emptiness of abandoned retail spaces—echoing with ghostly jingles and seasonal dread.

Great Game, amazing graphics. So underrated. Would love more.
Thanks! And thanks for the hilarious commentary 👏
i was so scared and i dont even know how to play it but maybe if i make a second video of this ill try to complete it
Played this for my Christmas horror game video back in December. I LOVE the vibes of this game, I always love this kind of style in video games. I'm going 'shopping' around the mall looking for presents but it still has this eerie, unsettling feeling that something will get you eventually. I also think it's cool that there is a scoreboard for more competitive players.
It's the 2nd game I play in this video :DI really enjoyed it! This game was on my bucket list for a while and I'm glad I finally got some time to play though it!
A short, but enjoyable experience. Do you plan on adding a story mode?
Nice game looking forward to play more of your games
Played this back during christmas and really enjoyed it!
