Description



OST NOW AVAILABLE!



An empty shopping mall after closing time.

Lost and alone inside a pristine relic of the past.

As sunset slowly approaches, navigate between surreal stores with only two cheerful PA announcers to keep you company. Can you unravel the mystery of your journey before it's time to say goodbye?

"Thank you for choosing Wilson Center Mall—a single stop for everything you'll ever need!"



Inspired by the 8-circuit model of consciousness, the mallsoft/"dead mall" genre, and the book Prometheus Rising, Self-Checkout Unlimited is a unique exploration of both mind and matter.
