Is there/is there going to be any content with ??? the brat girl?
No plans for it. If we did it'd likely involve a version of her looking her actual age.
Por favor traga para português:(
(free version)
I recently finished the game and really enjoyed it, but I have a few questions:
1- Even though I have the LockBox key, I can't open the LockBox in the police officer's room.
2- In the women's bathroom, on the farthest door, there's a number sequence (6049). What is it for?
3- Is there anything to do in the Greenhouse?
4- What is the "L. shop key" for?
5- Is there any way to get the toy that's in the burger joint?
6- I looked into the game files and found this room — is there a way to access it?
1-The lockbox key opens to the electrical box int he side hallway at the very beginning. We don't have anything for the security box yet.
2-The artist was just adding a phone number and didn't think anything of it. Now that you pointed it out I kinda wanna make it mean something, but I don't think most people would notice it.
3-Not much for the greenhouse yet except for the poster. The Dryad hasn't made an appearance yet but that area will be for her.
4-That the lingerie shop key. You used it in the very beginning.
5-Initaly I wanted to add a small toy character. Thought that could be fun, but the Lead has filled the roster out quite a bit already so that became low priority. Currently there no way to get the toy out but we haven't forgotten about it.
6-That's a file from v0.16. Sometimes it's easier to reverse engineer the free release when I change one of the systems such as the gallery. There is no way to reach that in the free version.
is the latest free version "version 15f?"
Yes it is.
How do I unlock last two ghosts
top one is in the box in storage. the code is on the screen in the food court. (Need to use the lens.) It is 472. Bottom one is the very end of the free version. Release the bunny from the library and then follow it through the woods.
How do we release the bunny from the library?
Key's in the book. one you get that you can open the door from either side. As for the puzzle, you need the lighter and to click the candles in a specific order (floor in front of the book has the answer)
I may be soft-locked here. I think I need to buy something from Jeanie's shop to progress, but I've already spent most of the cash I've earned and there are only three awards left unlocked, none of which I can find. They are:
1. The door that closes by itself
2. The power tool in the park
3. The eye in the hallway
I'm at the point where I need a key to open the shed in the park.
Also, Hobbs told me he released the zombie girl, but she's still tied up in the freezer.
(free version) (EDITED)
Right now i'm stuck on the part with "in sheeps clothing". I've been there for over 30 minutes now, went all around the map and still nothing. When i try to get one of the clothe from the wold it keeps saying that im not stronf enough. I have no idea what am i missing, can someone help me? - I'm just blind, i've missed to scan one of the marks on the bench at the park.
One more question. What is the code for the vending machine? The one with 4 number, because i tried using the once from the food court 8723 or 8713 i think it was written but it didn't work. - It worked after i finished with everything else!
About the game i'll say that i love it, it's fun and i like the arstyle. It takes some time but it's really good!!
I love the arts and the story. I have one criticism tho, can you improve the UI? I struggle with the size of the button to access to the menu of tools (lense, action and scanner). I'm on Android. The game is great !
I cant find the elevator power source anywhere. anybody know where it is?
Electric box to the right of the fountain
when I press on that it says I don't know what to do with it
Might need the intelligence rune. It's at the garden at the base of the tree.
Am i the only person that is getting so many gamecrashes? Every 2 dialogs it crashes
Hey, I found the ghost girl chasing the rabbit and caught up to it before it hopped off into the treeline, is there anything specific I'm supposed to do after this?
I has used weed killer on root and didn't work so what to do?
Knife from the kitchen.
I can’t play the game, I can start it but I can’t press “accept” in the first page, I have downloaded two times the game (for windows), basically the arrow of the mouse can’t reach the button, I don’t know how to fix that
Help needed. Quest "Going Down". How to fix the elevator, can't find anything to give power for the elevator.
The art style makes this stand out a lot, and I played for a few hours and liked it a lot! Hope to see it grow in near future!
can i get a hint on where to use the fish oil?
The valve in the east woods.
thanks! i missed that entire area somehow. now i'm lost again, but i guess i'll figure it out lol, i know a recent update moved to day 3 so there's gotta be stuff i'm missing
some one know games just like MallCreeps?:DD
How do i give sam the santa outfit? marked "sold out" in the store, idk what do
When you chat with her and her character menu pops up. You can set the costumes there.
I think i bugged the game, i got to the part where hobbs tells me he freed claire, then i went into the freezer and claire was there talking like a human? think i skipped some steps, also kinda got stuck with no way to progress, last things i did were talk to the emo girl and show her the gold orb and help sam with the weedkiller, now i have no idea on what to do.
Happening to me too
it is the same with me… I tried reloading before the quest initiated and it still has the same problem
We've gotten a couple complaints about this. I think I'm gonna redo how that quest works. Feels like once I fix one thing it breaks in a completely different way.
where to find battery
i give the battery to the kid and opened the cams and it didnt work
In needed to look in the lingerie shop for help to het the door to storage open but I can't find anything
use the lens on the lower right. It'll trigger a strength rune so can muscle the storage shutter open.
Thnx
This game so far is good I have a question towards the devs I am at the quest to find the clothes the last one is bathroom wolf and I need to be faster but I can't find the symboll anywhere plus the quest with the woods how do I get past these wolfs? I can't seem to progress but I can see that I am close to the end of the game
The two issues are linked. Okay so the second agility rune is close to the first, it's inside the clinic, on the eye chart. Pretty sure you can't miss the first but if you did it's just outside on on the wall.
Amy will help you get passed the wolves after some progress. If I'm remembering clearly I think you need to talk to Bianca first. If you still need help, let me know.
If you are talking about the symbol outside with the goth girl on the wall I see it but it doesn't light up when I put the scanner or don't remember the name usually they light up for example the one on the bench in the garden but this on the wall outside it didn't light up this is the only symbol left that I found nothing else
loved the game!!
I love the artstyle but the game keeps crashing does anyone know a fix? (android)
Same here dude
Unfortunately Gamemaker is REALLY rough on android. I've tried to pin point and optimize but everything either has no effect or creates a much worse problem. Unlike renpy which is just python (which anything can read) game maker uses gml which requires an interpreter. Plus the CG are quite large.
I'm sorry the game keep crashing on you. I've been looking into this for a while and I've yet to find an effective solution.
Is it possible to transfer my save from v14F to the new one?
Yes. If you just overwrite the file your saves should be fine. Uninstalling is what removes them.
Hey i just installed this and it keeps crashing which is a shame because i really like point and click style games are there any easy fixes?
Absolutely love this game....very well made and so much content. Well done! Here is my full review: https://geekgasm.org/2025/03/28/mall-creeps-where-ghost-hunting-meets-hardcore-a...
Very cool. Thanks for the review.
I'm stuck on tracking the signal in the security office mission. Normally in other places I just had to go in and David would tell me about the signal, but when I go into the office nothing happens. Is this some kind of bug? If so, how do I solve it?
Try clicking on the phone to turn the signal off. Something might happen~
It worked, thanks :)
i'm stuck right after unlocking jeane ,the task thing says i have to search for rex in the fast food kitchen but when i get there nothing happens even if i interact with her
Rex mentions the handle is busted, clicking on spot where it should be will trigger the next part of the task.
Same place i'm stuck and clicking that didn't do anything for me. *EDIT* I quickly played back through and for some reason the first time I played I didn't get any of the lens scenes or the tool to use and now the Rex task worked.
(Android version )Ok so box code for ghost girl is stuck dost work when putting correct code one some dialogues are stuck I try to progress the rock for shed key is no where to be found to get lader and can't progress from there and the security guard mission is stuck to get in vent in security room
And zombie girl is stuck in freezer when it says she should be near or somewhere and clothes and bugged when talking to characters they have they're casual clothes
code for the box is 472. Shed key is lower left of the woods, it's blocked by one of those root hands. Need the rupee from the shop to get rid of it. For the security guard you'll get a scene if you're on the other side and try to get out (It connects to the same vent you used to get out of the freezer.)
Only the shed key is for main plot progression.
If you don't mind me asking how do I make shopkeeper happy I tried to go in there I bought all of the clothes in shop
Can't seem to save, it stays saying Load at the top and clicking the save button changes nothing, even if i try clicking a slot first and then hitting save.
Clicking the Maeva Academy poster when on fullscreen turns the game into a weird borderless window where the mouse is off-center so I can't reach the preferences button to change the resolution afterwards, so I had to close it and re-open to restart my progress since I also can't seem to save (Unless I'm misunderstanding something about the save system or I have to progress a certain amount before it lets me save)
There also seems to be a strange thing where my dialogue automatically is set to skip when normally i have to hold ctrl to make it skip and letting it go makes it stop skipping.
Okay so I was forced to run it as admin through the folder instead of launching it manually for the save portion. Probably need to double check where its being saved to and my folder perms, random problem to suddenly have.
Haven't figured out if theres a way to solve the other problems on my end.
Is this a Minecraft reference!?🤯🥒
Where is the wire for the going down quest?
cash register in the burger joint.
(Free Version) Love the game so far! Only encountered a few bugs and nothing game breaking.
The bookstore seems to open early for some reason? After I did Amy's quest for her clothes the shutter opened. I had gotten in there early through the vent, so I wasn't softlocked or anything, but it doesn't let you exit through the main door, it says it's locked like intended. Sometimes Rex appears in there and does the menu chat like she would normally. Also I accidentally somehow skipped Claire's phone call trigger in Dead Girl Talking and was able to menu chat with her in the freezer like normal, but I blundered around long enough that it eventually triggered. Not sure how to recreate that one, sorry.
Yes. Bug from version 14 that didn't show up right away. Basically entering the east woods screwed up the library variables which then got saved. You have a couple options:
If your on Win or Mac you can find your saves (C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\MallCreeps ** ignore negative numbers, they're for autosaves) Open whichever save your looking to fix and search for the variables Bunny and Candles and set them both to -1.
Or you just need a save from before you enter the east woods.
Second issue just involves talking to Hobbs and Claire in a specific order. It's a repeatable event in version 16 so it's not missable there. But not in 15. Need to fix that still.
i got softlocked in the boys bathroom stall with the goth girl (cant remember her name) and cant exit out of the dialogue box no matter what, any way to fix?
Seems to trigger when clicking the plate with Willow in the party. Fix is uploaded should be version 15E now.
How do I catch the rabbit?
Follow it through whatever entrance it hops by until you end up in a new spot. Then just head up.
i may have bugged this. i gave up on trying to catch the rabbit, because it seemed like it was just going around in a circle forever, and i went and looked at the posters instead. saw the one in the gardening area change...and now the rabbit is gone, but i never caught it, and i don't know how to progress the story
There was a sequence break in version 15 if I recall. I made debuggers for it but now I'm wondering if they were only in version 16. I'll check today when I get a chance.
