    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!"

    Inspired by the 8-circuit model of consciousness, the mallsoft/"dead mall" genre, and the book Prometheus Rising, Self-Checkout Unlimited is a unique exploration of both mind and matter.

    Self-Checkout Unlimited takes the idea of exploring a small shopping centre after closing, and somehow decides the most sensible thing to doSelf-Checkout Unlimited takes the idea of exploring a small shopping centre after closing, and somehow decides the most sensible thing to do is use that as an opportunity to analyse the player, using small and large decisions to figure out what motivates and drives them. It's not something I think most people would be able to get a ton out of, but I've found a lot of enjoyment out of playing the game over and over and going for all the different paths to see how I feel about certain answers.

    The game is mostly linear, and has a few moments that feel like they're out of a horror game. However, it's basically just an excuse to have some trippy moments while letting the player think about what they value and how they see themselves and other people. It may only be a couple hours long, but I loved the experience, even if I felt I wanted to have more by the end of it.
