Crowd Tag

After closing time, the mall comes alive. Mannequins wander the halls like shoppers, and the Shadow hunts anyone who is still human.

Play as a Human: move like a mannequin, collect 3 escape items and get out alive. Never run, because mannequins don't. When your heartbeat gets loud, hide in a stall or behind a wall before the Shadow hears you.

Play as the Shadow: you only know the humans' names, not their faces. Watch the crowd, spot who moves with a purpose, and catch them before they escape. Grab the wrong mannequin and it shatters. Break too many and the mannequins strike back!

Prefer daylight? In the Day Mall, secret agents with flashlights hunt spies hiding among the shoppers.
