Mall Escape: Backrooms Files is like a nightmare version of a shopping spree gone wrong! You wake up alone in an abandoned mall—great, just what you wanted for your birthday, right? Armed with nothing but a flashlight (which is basically a glorified glow stick) and zero escape plan, you’re in for a wild ride.

But wait, there's more! The Custodian is on the prowl, and this guy is more paranoid than your grandma at a family reunion—he hunts by sound! So, tiptoe like you're trying to sneak out of a kindergarten class while avoiding the "whistle of doom." Crouch, switch off that flashlight, and hide in lockers like a game of extreme hide-and-seek!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it (which you kinda have to), involves finding keys, restoring power (because apparently the mall forgot to pay its electric bill), reading notes (that probably contain the world's worst Yelp reviews), and cracking keypad codes that are more complicated than your last math exam.

Once you finally escape this retail nightmare, you’ll follow the signal to Westbrook House in Chapter 2, where hopefully they have better lighting and zero creepy Custodians. Good luck, brave shopper!
