About the Game
Storebound is a co-op puzzle horror experience built as a six-episode campaign. Prepare for a 5-to-7-hour descent into the darkness of a cursed megastore trapped between dream and nightmare. Every two chapters, you'll explore an entirely different era and area of the store, facing unique puzzles and new horrors.
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.
Avoid the mall's traps and aberrations, they will gnaw at your mind until you can't trust what you see or do.
Just remember: in a place built for consumption, the final price is always you.
