Self-Checkout Unlimited by Argent Games
An empty shopping mall after closing time.
Lost and alone inside a pristine relic of the past.
As sunset slowly approaches, navigate between surreal stores with only two cheerful PA announcers to keep you company. Can you unravel the mystery of your journey before it’s time to say goodbye?
“Thank you for choosing Wilson Center Mall—a single stop for everything you’ll ever need!”
