Our take on Mall Simulator
The pitch gives substantial attention to the mall’s size, brands, and store variety, while the core loop is a set of recurring operational tasks: stocking goods, setting prices, taking payments, hiring workers, and managing customer queues.
What is Mall Simulator?
Mall Simulator is a first-person mall management game about growing a small shopping center into a large city mall.
Players open and manage stores and restaurants, including clothing, sports, technology, toys, supermarkets, cosmetics, cinemas, food shops, arcades, home goods, game stores, bakeries, jewelry stores, florists, sushi bars, vending machines, and ATMs. The workflow includes designing mall spaces, expanding stores, supplying products, following trends, setting prices, taking payments, and hiring workers. Customer satisfaction affects the need to keep stores stocked, manage queues, and maintain an appealing mall. The game also includes brand-based retail expansion and the option to open new areas by removing walls. Financial management is framed around growing the mall while avoiding bankruptcy.
