What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Storebound as a full game will be built around several episodes that form a bigger story. We already have a clear vision for the full narrative and each episode, but we need help from the community to make the best game possible. Early Access lets us share content early, gather feedback, and improve the current and following content as new episodes are added. This is even more important for a game like Storebound, as making engaging narratives, puzzles, and challenges requires lots of iterations and feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We're aiming to release the 1.0 of the game within 2026, when all episodes are available.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Our Early Access roadmap consists of the release of more playable episodes. The full version of the game will include all of Storebound's episodes, meaning more content. Each pair of episodes will bring a new playable scenario with new characters, new levels to explore, new puzzles to solve, and new employees to run from.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We are starting Early Access with Episodes 1 & 2. It represents an average game time of 2 hours, depending on the difficulty you select, and on how quickly you’ll manage to solve the puzzles. Three difficulty modes let you choose between a more relaxed, exploration-focused experience or a tenser, more challenging one.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We want to ensure our early supporters get a fair deal: you are paying for the content you can play right now, and not for future updates. As we add more content during Early Access, the game’s price will gradually increase. The 1.0 release will likely come with an adjustment as well, but we’ll always give players a heads-up before any change happens.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We already benefited a lot from community feedback when we released our demo, and also throughout the development of our previous game, Murky Divers. This collaboration has helped us improve the game and inspired the next steps of development. We definitely want to keep working this way, so please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts on the Steam Hub or on Discord, we read everything!”

About This Game

A 1-3 co-op horror game. Play as ordinary shoppers trapped in an accursed megastore. Find the exit together at all costs before the employees catch you.

Find your way through a shopping complex that was never meant for you.

By day, lights flicker across deserted halls, inviting exploration. By night, employees roam the aisles looking to "assist" you. Silence, teamwork, and quick thinking are your only tools for survival.

Escape Alone or With Friends

Team up with friends to escape a store that wants you to shop forever.

Plan your next move using proximity voice chat and walkie-talkies. Piece together environmental clues and decode cryptic notes to find your next destination.

Split up and look for whatever may help you escape. Search the mall for tools and items, and make sure you can slip away when danger comes.

Solve puzzles to unlock new paths, hopefully guiding you to an exit.

Do you cling to the shadows, letting madness creep in, or stay in the light where they’re already watching you?

Immersive Stealth and Survival

When the lights go out, employees are on the look out for shoppers who need "assistance" after hours. 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 abominations straight to you. Find fuses to turn the lights back on and hopefully start a new day.
