Description
The Mall is a wet, gooey, practical effects filled TTRPG adventure set in a 199x mall pulled out of time and space. The mall’s denizens are trapped inside with a creature not bound by any one form. It slithers among them now, preparing to assimilate and imitate its victims until no one is left!
Tap into 90’s nostalgia and return to The Mall, freshly-renovated and more unsettling than ever!
There’s nothing quite as creepy as an empty mall. And if the absence of life is merely a cover for something worse? That’s a case for Liminal Horror: Investigators! A malevolent entity consumes and transforms everything in its path: salespeople, garlic pretzels, the teens ditching school in the arcade. Now the Children of Ammon slink through the shadows of backstock and creep between the sale racks of last season’s jeans. Will they pick off your team one by one? Or can you triumph, send this thing packing?
Module includes 14 named NPCs, 5 factions, and 30 keyed rooms to explore as well as a DOOM clock and tables for generating endless capitalist abominations. The Mall also includes Whisper Cards, a unique tension-building mechanic in which players receive secret prompts based on narrative triggers. Collect cards and respond accordingly but beware – the more cards you get, the closer The Mall is to wrapping its slimy self around you. Are your teammates acting strangely because they’re scared… or because they’ve been replaced?
One of the very first modules for Liminal Horror (circa 2022), the Remastered edition of The Mall has been enhanced with four additional pages of content, including an entirely re-worked lower-level map, the Mall Manager as an antagonist, new character creation procedures (to entangle you with NPCs and locations), and digital re-linking (making play smoother than ever). What more can we say? It’s a Liminal Horror classic for a reason. After all…
It’s The Thing but set in a 1990s mall!
