Our take on Storebound

Its defining structure is a six-episode campaign that relocates the group to a different store era and area every two chapters, pairing new puzzles with new horrors.

What is Storebound?

Storebound is a cooperative puzzle-horror game for 1-3 players, structured as a six-episode campaign lasting 5 to 7 hours.

Players search a cursed megastore for objects and clues, decode its strange rules, and avoid traps, aberrations, and entities while looking for an exit. Every two chapters shift to a different store era and area, bringing new puzzles and threats. Proximity voice chat supports nearby communication, while walkie-talkies connect players across distant departments. When the lights fail, players may need to cut communication to remain silent. A sanity system can affect how players perceive events and may turn them against companions. The game also includes 3D audio, flashing lights, and visual sequences.
