Just in time for Halloween: The Consumed launches on Steam on October 23, 2026, and you can wishlist it right now.

The Short Version
You’re the night-shift security guard at the Hargrove Galleria, a dying mall where employees have been disappearing and stores have been quietly closing. You’ve got a flashlight, a camcorder, and a checklist. Your job is to secure every open store, file your report, and clock out.
You’ll do that five nights in a row, and each night is worse than the last.
It’s first-person analog horror with a VHS-meets-PSX look: grainy footage, a 20XX timestamp nobody can explain, and low-poly mannequins that seem a little too interested in you.
Why It’s Worth a Wishlist
- It’s $10. Five full shifts of dead-mall horror for the price of a movie ticket.
- You decide how to handle the haunting. Banish spirits with your camcorder, trap them behind store shutters, or avoid them and get the job done.
- The shop actually matters. It’s a collab with the fashion brand GREY GRADIENT for their Series 002, and their store inside the mall sells real GREY GRADIENT clothing that gives you more health. I went into the partnership in more detail here.
- There’s more under the surface. Easter eggs and branching story paths are tucked around the mall for anyone who pokes around.
