Mall Simulator

Early access cash grab that was abandoned and left broken. Everything is just store assets. No life to the game at all. This dev just took what he could and left. Sad that this happens a lot in this industry. Don't waste your money on this!

It was a nice game for the first 20 hours. Its dead tho, no updates since december 2025.

dead had great promise too

[FR] Le 24 juin 2026, je fais un ticket pour un remboursement. Le dev me contacte pour m'expliquer pourquoi il ne travaille plus sur son jeu pour le moment et promet de revenir cet été. Nous sommes le 25/08/2026 et toujours aucune MAJ. Pire, le dev efface les discussions où l'on montre les preuves que c'est un arnaqueur. N'achetez aucun de ses jeux ; ce mec est un menteur, il a profité de l'argent de tout le monde et, malgré les messages envoyés à Valve avec preuves de roadmap non respectée, etc., rien n'est fait comme sanction. Fuyez ce jeu et ce dev !!!!! Voici le message du dev ! [FR] Salut Gekkphenix, passe une bonne journée ! Je travaille actuellement sur la grande mise à jour de l'été prévue pour ce mois-ci et je serais ravi de te tenir au courant de l'avancement. Je voulais simplement te dire que je prépare de nouvelles fonctionnalités et de nouveaux éléments que je partagerai avec toi. J'ai dû faire face à des problèmes personnels importants qui m'ont empêché de m'y remettre, mais je suis enfin en mesure de travailler sur de nouvelles mises à jour. Merci pour ta patience ; je travaille d'arrache-pied sur du contenu surprise. Je développe *Mall Simulator* entièrement seul depuis trois ans, et gérer tout cela en solo demande du temps ; merci infiniment pour ta compréhension. 🙏 😔 {EN] On June 24, 2026, I submitted a refund request. The dev contacted me to explain why he wasn't working on the game at the moment and promised to return in the summer. It is now August 25, 2026, and there is still no update. Worse yet, the dev is deleting discussions that show proof he’s a scammer. Don't buy any of his games; the guy is a liar who took everyone's money, and despite messages sent to Valve with proof of a broken roadmap and so on, no action has been taken against him. Stay away from this game and this dev!!!!! Here is the dev's message! {EN] Hi Gekkphenix, have a nice day, I’m currently working on the big SUMMER update this month and would be happy to keep you posted on the progress. I just wanted to let you know that I’m currently working on new features and products, which I’ll share with you. I’ve been dealing with some major personal issues and haven’t been able to get back to home, but I’m finally able to start working on new updates. Thank you for your patience, I’m working full steam ahead on some surprise content. I’ve been working on Mall Sim all by myself for three years, and running things on my own takes a bit of time, so thank you so much for your understanding. 🙏 😔 Edit: j'ai étais banni de la discutions, I was banned from the discussion. mdr

Don't misunderstand my rating to indicate the game isn't fun and engaging, because it is absolutely that. I have played for nearly 20 hours and will continue playing more. But from all I've read on the forums, this game has been abandoned by its developer who has vanished without a word. It's a fun game but it's also a still-in-development game, and there are bugs aplenty and limited gameplay. And without active development, those issues are almost certainly never going to be fixed. So in good conscience, I cannot recommend you buy and play the game. If you choose to do so anyway, just go in knowing you're starting an incomplete game that will never have its bugs fixed. And if that works for you, have fun.

Loved the game played for a long time them we got the Christmas update and it was nice. Then go to play a few months later and still Christmas. I kept coming back to Christmas and got tired of it. Game is not going anywhere else just save your money.

Dead game. No updates or announcements since December 2025.
