1. Department
Store A tentpole of the mall, this store was once a bustling hub of
capital selling all sorts of homewares, clothing, gadgets, and
more. As trends shifted under the ignorant eyes of elder
management, the store has fallen by the wayside, now selling
symbolic relics of a civilization no one wants or needs.

◊ A crew of punks has repurposed the

home goods section for their base.
How do they protect the store?

◊ They’ve built a monument to their

gods out of defunct appliances.
What do they worship?

◊ There is a dark section of the

store even the punks won’t go
through. What and why?

2. Video Games The outside world is falling to shit, and sure we

could try to do something about it, but what if
we just went to a cool new world instead? Try
the brand new VMonic virtual entertainment
system! (Claims that if you die in the game you
die in real life are completely unfounded!)

◊ When you place the headset on, you’re inundated with visions of a new world.
Is it tranquil/satanic/pornographic/low-poly/blood-soaked/fantastical/other?

◊ There are half a dozen teens in

here sucked into their gaming
stations. What seems off
about their catatonic bodies?

◊ What information does the

headset extract from your
mind while you play?

to describe food. The dishes
served here have all three.

4. Information Everything is for sale and everyone

is at risk. This store deals in secrets

Dealer
and shadows, offering information
you’re not likely to find on your own. Of
course, the laws of supply and demand
apply and these things aren’t cheap.

◊ How does this shop procure

its secret intelligence?

◊ To avoid detection,
transactions here are not
paid for with standard money.
What do they request instead?
5. Lost Shopper
“I’m fine, I’m just waiting for my (brother/spouse/daughter/dog) to come out
of the store,” this poor fool repeats to anyone who walks past. Fingernails
hang long from dusty digits, scraping the floor when they subtly shift
their weight. I’m sure whoever they’re waiting for will be right back…

◊ In front of what store

are they waiting?

◊ How do they pass their time?

◊ What has kept them alive this long?

6. Kiosk (i)
Items at the mall aren’t known for their long-lasting quality, but this
shit doesn’t even get a store of its own. Hung on hooks from a rotting
wooden cart, they couldn’t pay you to take this crap off their hands.

◊ What absolute garbage

is for sale here?

◊ What unintended purpose could

you use these things for?

◊ What is secretly for sale

here but not on display?
7. Clothing
Regardless of advances in technology and shifts in trends,
people still have to wear clothes, even the weird shit in here.

◊ What fabric-alternatives are

these clothes made from?

◊ Are these garments sexy/practical/safe/loud/comfortable/other?

◊ What is today’s most

fashionable garment?

8. Electronics Gear and gadgets line shelves from

front to back with the occasional
spark of misplaced electricity
creating a strobing light into the alleys of the mall. “All the latest
technologies” could use some updating, but a clever mechanic or a
desperate runner could still maybe find something of use here among
the rows of obsolete charger cables and outdated components.

Search for components (up, down, left, right, diagnoal, backwards, forwards).
Combine the first 3 you see into a tech gadget. Repeat as many times as you can.

Ransacked long before you got here, this might
as well be a broken glass store. The watches,
rings, jewels, and things that you could never
afford are somehow still out of your reach.

◊ In the back of the store is a sealed

security office. How does one gain
entrance? What waits inside?

12. Urban
Legend
◊ How did they die in the mall?
Within the mall’s endless halls, a spectral
being wanders their final resting place,
doomed to shop for eternity. Tall tales
tell the history of how they came to be:

◊ How long have they been stuck here?

◊ What will free them from this afterlife?

13. Surgical The hottest and wettest new organs

available for installation at your leisure.

Center Most of our nearly painless* procedures

can be done in less than 90 minutes!
*pain levels may vary and are not guaranteed.

This boutique specializes in designer

organs and appendages. These
surgeries can enhance existing
parts or replace them entirely. List at
least three voluntary enhancement
procedures below, drawing lines to
the corresponding body location here.
14. Employee As hard as they try, robots and artificial
intelligences can never truly replicate that
human touch. That’s why we have people
like human employee of
the month for the last 29 years in a row.

◊ What special thing do they

do that makes the mall
appreciate them so much?

◊ Why do they make you

incredibly uncomfortable?

◊ Why won’t they leave this place?

15. drugs The finest “pharmaceuticals” are crafted

and distributed here. If it’s illegal, nobody
seems to care. Without surprise, this is
one of the most popular stores in the mall.

◊ The worker is not quick to show

you their wares unless you prove
you’re cool. What’s their password?

◊ Are the drugs sold here synthetic/hallucinogenic/

moldy/capsules/digital/something else?

◊ With every medication, there runs a

risk of side effects. What are the top
risks of taking the drugs sold here?
16. Entertainment Mass market media in mounds and
messes, this store boasts collections
of vinyl records, tapes, cds, and more outdated forms of music
if you have the patience to scour through it for a hidden gem.

◊ What musical holy grail

is hidden in the hoard?

◊ What obstacles prevent

someone from finding it?

◊ What disgusting smell is

emanating from within?

17. Keeper This mall has stood long past its intended
lifespan, despite its rotting insides the walls stand
strong. The stores are struggling, the food sucks,
but someone or something out of sight must be
keeping it alive for reasons other than sales.

has to tell you.
Shoppers can briefly divert their attention
from spending money to spending
time with our resident future teller.

Grab three objects within arms reach without getting up. Use each one to write
a scripted fortune that the automated fortune teller can offer shoppers.

What does the fortune teller ask for in return?

19. Accessories Some cosmetic, some obscene, and

even some practical, we have all the
latest trends for adorning your hideous
face. Tattoos, implants, brands, and
various technological enhancements.
Draw some crap on people’s faces

20. oh This store’s just on fuckin’ fire.

21. Food Court
Restaurant (C)
The food court is tightly packed
and competition is fierce–this
spot never stood a chance
until they started turning their
competitors into burgers and hot dogs. Now, fast-
casual cannibals have a place to hang out too.

◊ What are the three most delectable ◊ What methods of cooking are
body parts for purchase here? preferred for these parts?

22. Performer Every day is a special day at Omega Mall

and today is no exception: we have a
special guest!

◊ Is our guest a musician/low-level celebrity/torturer/animal

trainer/magician/con artist/hologram/something else?

◊ The guest brings an unexpected

audience to the mall, who?

◊ Something is wrong with

their show, what is causing
people to panic?

23. Hoverboard While illegal to operate within

the mall’s corridors, this store

and Bike flourishes with the coolest

methods of self transport.

◊ Without gasoline, what do these vehicles run on?

◊ How much do they cost?

◊ Why are they never in stock?

your needs may be.

◊ How do they dispose

of the old bodies?

25. Employee Oh no, is late for their shift!

They’ve accrued their fair share
of warnings and time locked in the
XXREDACTEDXX, if they’re late again
they’ll surely be fired.

Guide the employee

through the maze as
quickly as you can.
For each dead end
encountered, create
a terrifying shopper

what might be their
last day of work.
26. Movie
Theater
They don’t make ‘em like they used to. Or at
all, really, anymore. Everyone is too caught
up with their own myriad of screens to waste
time staring at a big shared screen together
anymore. However, for the particularly nostalgic or stoned-out-of-
their-mind, the theater still shows some random scratched DVDs
someone found in a bin a few years back. Luckily, there is something
for everybody. Each of the five screens in the theater has one movie on
24 hour loop to any deadbeat who wants to watch, shovel salty snacks
into their face, or just needs somewhere dark to lay low for a while.

Give each a tagline and a poster.

Rat Behind You (horror) Escape From Clown Town Baby Blue (romance)
(comedy)

My Demise (action) Children of Stone

(documentary)

Youre halfway there and the mall is in great shape! Keep going!
27. Store You’ve got the hang of this by now, make up
a store of your own and put it here. If you
want a suggestion, make it something shiny.

28. Fountain Located in a high-traffic area for all to gawk

at in amazement, an ornate marble fountain
meticulously spits liquid displays into the air.

◊ What fluid has replaced water in

the fountain’s delicate show?

◊ Folks still throw coins in to make a wish. Once

a month, someone empties the coins. Two
or three wishes seem to come true shortly
after. Who tends to the fountain’s wishes?

◊ Draw the fountain. Put a symbol on the

mall map to indicate its location.
29. Kiosk
(iii)
A sole computerized display stands here
beckoning passers by with a glowing blue
light. “Where would you like to go?” is so
passé, this digital map of the mall has grown
past the need to ask such simple things

30. Shopper Like a pack mule scaling the canyons of

the American west, this shopper is loaded
up with gear. there are so many bags and
boxes on their body you can’t see a face.

Fill this bag with crap they

bought. Make items fit in the
weird shapes. Below, describe
unique or unexpected traits
these items have that make
them worth lugging around.
31. Monster On unfortunate occasion, an outside animal will get
into the mall, a feral cat or songbird in the rafters,
but after years spent sucking sprinkle-scented
oxygen and drinking orange smoothie scraps from the grout of the floor
tiling, even the most harmless critter can become a menacing beast.

quality scents, you’re buying friends,
power, sex, identity, wealth, and anything imaginable
to snort up your snotty nose.

◊ How are the scents extracted?

Restaurant (D)
Hungry and non-discerning
shoppers can grab a quick
fresh* slice here at all hours
of the day. Toppings vary by
location and availability.

We don’t have any fuckin

toppings. None that you’d

stuff you find around you that
I guess technically are edible.

Pizza is many people’s

favorite food. What deranged

lack of edible ingredients?

35. Strange

many smiling* faces come and go

outside, this is a regular door that
welcomes shoppers to the center.
From the inside, this same door

Don’t let the young ones miss out on the

they can let their inhibitions loose. The
mall accepts no responsibility for
injuries incurred on the play area.

Close your eyes and draw a curved shape in the empty space provided.
Overlap lines a few times. Each closed shape created is an obstacle
or zone for play. Label them and write down their associated risks.

Store
The rival to (1), the perfume bottles and

depths of this department store.

◊ The freaks within are planning an

attack to exert their dominance
over the other stores and factions
of the mall. What weapons
have they accrued or made?

◊ The warriors here believe a god

will bless them in their goals.
What do they worship?

◊ While powerful and fearsome,

the department store army had
an Achilles heel, what is it?
52. Manager The mall is an orchestra of moving pieces: the
stores, the shoppers, the sales, the suffering,
but this symphony could not sound so good without
a conductor: you. You are the mind behind the mall,
the manager of this capitalist hellscape, and as
such, you should be present and accountable.

◊ Build yourself an office behind

one of the stores on the mall
map. What measures do you
take to keep your space safe?

◊ You’re a busy person so naturally,

you have a trusty non-human
assistant to hang around the
office when you have other plans.
Who are they, what makes you
trust them, and what do you
think they are hiding from you?

◊ When a shopper leaves unsatisfied,

a store needs assistance, or a
specter spills ectoplasm in the
hall, you are always the one
responsible. How do you release
your wrath on those who confront
your authority at the mall?
