Astro Shaft Announces Angel Mall Mystery ADV For Steam In 2027
Astro Shaft is positioning Angel Mall on a timed exploration loop rather than a pure scripted story, which puts the doujin circle in the same design space as recent cooperative and puzzle-focused mystery games on Steam.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Doujin circle Astro Shaft has announced Angel Mall, a mystery-solving adventure game in which protagonist Tsuzuri and four other girls wake up with an android in an unmanned shopping mall. Exploration carries a time limit, and progress fills an Information Board as players map the building. The developer plans a Steam release in 2027.
The cast is five girls plus one android. Tsuzuri is the protagonist, bad with machines and prone to breaking them; Towa is blunt and honest; April is the oldest and works under an alias; Sui is the youngest, well-spoken but abrasive; Reiko is the android, high-performance on paper yet unable to answer a question about the weather.
Traces and records left inside the mall drive the search. Tsuzuri finds evidence that she once lived there. The mall is called Angel Mall, and it is empty when the girls wake up.
- Tsuzuri: Protagonist; wakes in the mall with four other girls and is extremely bad with machines
- Towa: Acts together with Tsuzuri; innocent and poor at reading the room, but honest
- April: Oldest of the five and uses an alias; foul-mouthed but feels responsibility as the eldest
- Sui: Youngest of the five; refined speech, poor attitude toward others
- Reiko: Android that started up alongside the girls; cannot answer even a question about the weather
