I'm a big fan of liminal spaces, so this was a fun one. Gotta love how the protagonist just casually ignores the message towards the end. Who wouldn't want to live in a liminal mall forever?
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was important to me that I convey this liminal moment with as few words as possible while still giving the player a full image of their environment.
Thank you so much! What had happened was I left a .wav music file in my music track passage. I had commented it out (or so I thought) when I used a different music file. Anyways, the problem has been resolved. Thanks again!

beautiful writing, i didn't grew up in a city with a mall but this made me feel in a really familiar place
The music choice was excellent. It gave it a very cozy and nostalgic yet subtlely unsettling atmosphere.

I love liminal spaces, too! For me, they give me a sense of comfort rather than fear. Glad you liked it!
Nice game, well done! I'm also a developer, may I ask what coding language or platform you used to make this game? Looked interesting to me
I used Twine, specifically the Harlowe 3.2.3 format and the Harlowe Audio Library to get the music to play.
Such a sweet and short IF, I loved the way the words painted a picture in my mind, the music brought it together really well too.

This is nice! A really good use of a tiny word count.
Thank you very much! I enjoyed the challenge.
This is the error that I get in the console:
track: unsupported file type "wav -->"
a.newTrack @ VM24:6
I would guess it has to do with the audio files you have in the zip?
