The Mall

## Description

The Mall is the second released map.

It features a large security office, with a rough concrete floor and rough plastic walls. Filing cabinets and locks scattered around the room, a plant, small desk with a phone. Also contains multiple alarm buttons and a fuse box.

There is a book on how to survive a Intruder incident.

A window which overlooks the hallway to the entrance of the office, it also has the surveillance section with a computer.

## Gameplay

The main objective is to survive the Intruder's attempts to break in and kill you. There is also a phone call, but that is just a reminder to remind you that you have started your shift in the map. The shift goes on from 12 AM to 7 AM. The bell will ring when an hour has passed.

To protect yourself from the Intruder you have 9 cameras scattered around the mall, these include:

* Cam 1: Hallway 1
* Cam 2: Hallway 2
* Cam 3: Escalator
* Cam 4: Restaurant
* Cam 5: Second Floor
* Cam 6: Parking Lot
* Cam 7: Shoe Store
* Cam 8: Janitor Room
* Cam 9: Hallway 3
* Cam 10: Office

The Intruder is closest to you when he disappears in **camera 1 (Hallway 1)** or **camera 9 (Hallway 3)** you must hide in a locker, and you don't need to turn off the lights unlike the house map. The lights only turn off when The Intruder shuts the power.

When he is present in camera 9 (Hallway 3) he will then disappear. You must quickly hide in a locker and wait until he has walk away. You may see him when he is approaching at the window.

When he presents in camera 1 (Hallway 1) he will then disappear, and you must hide in a locker as fast as you can. The lights will be going to flicker when he enters the office.

The power is able to be turned off in this map, to change the fuses you do the same as in The House. Go to the fuse box and replace the old fuses first and then collect new fuses from the box and replace them in the fuse box.

There are also alarms you will have to turn off during the shift. Depending on which difficulty you're on determines the amount of the alarm buttons that go off.

* Easy - only one alarm will go off at a time.

* Hard - 2 or possibly more may go off.

* Nightmare - all alarm buttons will go off.

## Lore

Once you finished your shift a cutscene plays between the player and a detective, below you will see the transcript of the conversation:

**> OPEN TRANSCRIPT**

Officer: *So what happened last night exactly?*

You: *There was a tall, skinny man that tried to kill me.*

You: *I felt powerless against him. He may be one of those shapeshifters.*

Officer: *Shapeshifters? We've gotten reports on those.*

You: *He took the form of the people I knew and tried luring me to him.*

Officer: *There seems to be a connection here.*

You: *Really?*

Officer: *A young boy was taken away by the man that tried taking you.*

Officer: *We later received a phone call from what we thought was the boy taunting us.*

Officer: *It was all just a great impression of the boy's voice...*

You: *Can't this guy just be killed?*

Officer: *Nothing stops him from terrorizing us.*

Officer: *I say it's best to just call the authorities and hide until help arrives.*

It seems that the same character from The House map is also the security guard of the Mall. This also gives us information on Jason who was captured and his story concluding to his death and him being mimicked by the Intruder.
